It's not a good day to be fat. A fat PS3 owner that is.

If you haven't heard, the PSN has gone down.  Let me rephrase that, the PSN has gone down for owners of the original fat model of the PS3.  The vast majority I would wager.  No one online knows for sure what is going on, but from personal experience, trying to log into the PSN comes up with a constant error.  Attempting to log into a game that uses trophies comes up with a different error that makes you quit the game.

In essence, my PS3 is worthless right now.  Sony has acknowledged the problem on their twitter account,

It's been over 5 hours since I first saw the problem and I'm desperately hoping this isn't a diabolic ploy by a greedy executive to get PS3 slim sales up.
