J's Chimes: PS3 'Ring' of Death

Remember the time where the Xbox 360 is recalled because of the problem in regards to the ring of death? Well now the PS3 also suffers the same fate as its rival. It seems like a bug in its clock functionality has cause the older bulky models to affect connection to the Playstation Networks and thus errors seem to occur and will even permanently erased all data in the console.... Now that's a serious problem... Somehow or rather, the PS3 Slim isn't affected by it. Now Sony is trying to solve this issue and hopefully come out with a solution or else fans are gonna go mad. How would you like it if your data got erased where ya spent hours leveling up your characters in RPG games?
