We've apparently made it through the worst of the storm, friends. We've received a number of tips informing us that the internal clock bug which has been plaguing systems for the past 24 hours had been fixed, rendering all games playable once more. We tempted fate shortly after receiving these reports by testing out a few of our PS3 Phat units, and can confirm that they're running games just fine.

The extent of the damage incurred during the blackout is unknown, but will certainly surface in the next few hours. No Joystiq staffers lost any of their hard-earned trophy data, but we're an awfully small sample group for a problem that affected every living being on Earth.
