I know this isnt MLB the show related but it kinda is so please sticky

I was reading earlier about this PSN meltdown and started worrying about the imminent release of THE SHOW 10 so I started researching and found that if you take the CMOS battery out of your "FAt" PS3 (THE OLDER MODEL, not slim) it will fix the problem!! I was hesitant at first but then thought what the heck and did it and it actually worked. I will post the video on how to take the ps3 apart.

Video Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUWKA...eature=related

FWIW the CMOS battery is located under the blu ray drive and is wrapped in green plastic all you have to do is take the wire with plug on the end out, and then put it back in.
You will then turn on your system and put todays date in and you're good to go!!

P.S. This will void your warranty however my warranty is well over now so it really didnt matter to me.

Leaving it on standby, does this mean it's now affected by this?

Sony, get it together. Awful week to be a PS3 owner.
