PS3 games with online functionality are reportedly not working either. Most of the issues are seemingly seen by users of older consoles before the Slim. Some theories claim the issue is a calendar error on older consoles.

Sony has said that it is working on the issue and is trying to narrow down causes. Some are pointing the finger at the calendar on so-called fat consoles not the PlayStation network itself. No fix has been found at this point.
