Sony on Monday warned millions of PlayStation 3 owners not to use their consoles as it struggled to fix a major software bug.
The electronics group said owners of the latest “slim” versions of the PS3 did not appear to be affected by the problem, which has crashed and frozen older consoles.
It remained unclear how many consoles were affected but Sony, which has sold more than 25m units of the older consoles, said it hoped to resolve the problem within 24 hours.
