I usually have at least two consoles going at all times...
The one that was running online GT5 last night (james_mikel) dumped, crashed, and burned - :wtf it even powered off the :fucking device .
(hadn't turned it on until right now. just did and it logged in fine and GT5 came right up and online was fine - though I never collected race winnings and I was in the wrong car. So it must have reloaded the save from before the race started. no way to tell what time it happened...)
The other was in GT5 but offline to PSN. PSN Button. Logged in via Account Management and all was normal - didn't even have to exit GT Life.
Wonder what it was?
:think
Did someone at Sony accidentally set a clock ahead to 12/21/12?
