Evidentally there appears to be a issue for PS3 gamers who pre-ordered and get the message "Game date is corrupted." Oddly, we are also instructed to delete all Far Cry 3 files, and then re-install.
I am currently on my 3 deletion and reinstall cycle, but even after deleting all of my Far Cry 3 files, which I wasn't thrilled at all about, the game would still not play. I also have verified that I have the latest version of software for the PS3. The main menu and options are all available, but for me, the message appears after I click on start new game.
On the PSN forums, numerous posts have already been made, so this is not an isolated issue. Perhaps a conflict exists in the pre-load version that is a trial versus the actual game being live. Hopefully, this can be resolved soon, as it's extremely frustrating to pay $60 for a game that can't even play.
Thanks for any solutions you may be able to provide.
Edit to add this: I just saw the post/thread/discussion regarding bugs with PS3 and this topic has already been brought to your attention, so please disregard and add me to the many others facing this issue.
