PlayStation®3 General Discussion

So i tried using the internet to set the time on my playstation but it keeps saying like 1hr early than what it should, was going to use that music unlimited but keeps telling me i need to sort the time out, so i tried manually but still no luck. :/, any ideas thanks?

Try setting it to BST British Summer Time in the option!

[DKBass]

[ToffeeCal]

Ahh, thanks alot

and then you'll have the fun of it drifting a minute every day or so.

The PS3 clock is sort of awful, it doesn't auto update, so messages sent to you form other people appear before the messages you sent them and all sorts. Have fun

I find it odd that the PS3 needs changing between BST and GMT and that the clock is prone to drifting out of time

I recently got my PlayStation 2 out of the attic the other week and plugged it in, without a memory card and not only was it at the correct time but it was also in BST. It had been in the attic for over two years unused but it has a better and more durable clock

Sony you are weird mate

yh i remeber few years back when we had the last leap year the my 40GB phat would'nt sign in PSN for few days as the clock was out and had to wait for an update to get it working again.

i got the same problem with sending and recieving messages, i would send a messages at about 12:30pm say to a friend and then they would reply about 2/3 min later but it would show 11:33am.

Every clock or watch drifts out of time a day is never bang on 24hrs it can be either a few seconds more or less.

So clocks are never accurate unless they auto update.

But the Ps3 clock eventually get around 7 mins out, around every month or so
