My 60gig is up and running. Signed right in to PSN. No issues. Date says 2/28 though. I reset the time/date via internet and now has the correct time and date.
Crisis averted.
Haha, that's hilarious!Apparently according to many sites it fixed itself with the internal clock thing. Saw this and laughed.

I turned my PS3 on several times yesterday to see if the problem had been fixed and tried to log in, so if some cataclysmic data failure occurs as a result of turning the PS3 on then it's probably too late for me. Hopefully it's not that bad though, and that nothing bad is going to happen from having used it. I'm pretty sure the only danger is if you play a game and "earn a trophy," because if you get any trophies before the fix they will not be recorded, and you'll lose them as soon as the fix arrives.
I see that and raise you this:
They never heard of ''Sh** happens.''?SWEETNESS!!
my PS3 is working fine and just as good as before it got that glitch
Sony screwed up, but they fixed the problem
looking over the PS3 forums at Sony's site, i can't believe there's people actually demanding that Sony send them free stuff because of that glitch. and are now saying that Sony sucks and they'll never buy from them again
get over it losers, Sony fixed the problem

I wonder how many people got fired over this? Sony just dodged it's own RROD, someone has to take the blame. We'll probably never know.

If you remember back to a time in 2008 when 30 GB Zunes all over the bricked themselves on a single day it turns out that the ARM Syscon cpu chip responsible for that terrible moment of chaos was also responsible for 8 out of 11 PS3 skus locking up the other day.
The chip has had known issues with dealing with leap years and RIMM and Microsoft have had to issues patches for these errors on Blackberry device and Zunes (respectively).
The problem was not due to PSN as everyone thought (including us) but rather the chip included in several models of the PS3. The system uses the small chip to control many of the PS3s minor tasks. The clock righted itself when enough time had passed and there was a hardware fix that required opening up the console.
Many consoles were troubled, according to the Digital Foundry, who frowned on Sonys relative silence during the matter:
This isnt just thousands or tens of thousands of units, its surely millions of them worldwide. While an internet-delivered mandatory firmware update could have solved the problem, its difficult to imagine how Sony would have handled the multitudes of these units in homes with limited or non-existent internet connectivity In the here and now, the problem has righted itself and a patch for the ARM controller can be incorporated at Sonys own pace into a future firmware update. Internally the company must surely be relieved about the bullet it has dodged.
yea, sony did nothing, which is FINE. Thy didnt need to. the biggest problem out of this whole situation is how people reacted.
Its absolutely ridiculous, I love the ps3 as much as any of the hard core fanboys, but try n judge better. go out with your girlfriend, and or just go out. Read a book even *gasp* you dont need your PS3 every waking second. you dont.
Everyone simply over reacted to the fullest and blew the situation out of proportion. It was obvious after the first few hours what exactly happened. RROD it was not! lol!
IGN was pretty ridiculous about it as well. "The Death of the PSN" .. really? the DEATH? They also blew it extremely out of proportion., they still are in fact.
