@Sean007s - this is not a problem localised to you. Thousands of gamers around the world are experiencing problems with their machines and it's something Sony are working on. They will not charge you for a repair so try to sit tight and see what happens.

I know. Sorry If I sound like "its all me me me me only" but I am scared that my PS3 could be broke for good.
I mean I can't even sign into PSN at all now. Although I did try to update and it said I have the latest version so I ASSUME the update feature still works.
Has this ever happened before?? I only got my PS3 in late August 09.

To my knowledge this hasn't happened before but it's affecting thousands of people around the world at the moment. Sony will figure out a patch or fix and it won't cost you a dime. You'll be back on your PS3 in no time.

This is the one and only time I will post in this thread. Needless to say, I'm finding this amusing.
just wait until the 360 fanboys get wind of this, they're going to have a field day on this one.
There he goes, Firkraag. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. - My VGscore

One guy on a playstation thread about this error has 3 pages of him saying the PS3 sucks and 360 is better.
I'm actually glad I don't have an Xbox. Child-ish as hell.

and every day of the year ps3 fanboys keep telling 360 owners that their console sucks because of the failure rate. gotta love some good old fashioned karma sometimes. perhaps both sides will realize now how childish and retarded fanboyism really is, but probably not, in reality this will only add fuel to the fire.

My girlfriend just bought me Heavy Rain a couple days ago, so this happened at a bad time. Luckily, I played yesterday morning-afternoon and didn't notice any PSN problems. I was gonna hop back on, but a friend of mine called me and was like, "DO NOT go on your PS3, they are going crazy right now", I hope if I just don't turn mine on until there is a fix, it won't be affected. Luckily, Mega Man 10 comes out today, so I can play that while I wait.

I just read that Sony are hoping to get a fix by tomorrow morning, so anyone (including me) who wanted to play on the PS3 today, your out of luck. I hope we get a full explanation of what happened and WHY it happened in the first place. I love having a £300 lump of electronics I can't use.

I always considered you a cool dude, Machu but what is so amusing about this? If you couldn't access your gaming console for whatever reason, I wouldn't celebrate it!
What happened: There was a mistake made while programming the calendar in the PS3's hardware. They all (except for Slims, which apparently had that error fixed as a side effect of the redesigned hardware) freaked out when their clocks somehow became convinced that it was Feb. 29th, which of course it isn't 'cause this isn't a leap year. It's actually fixable now, but you have to open up your PS3, find the clock battery, and disconnect it for a minute to allow the clock to reset. Then you put it back together, turn it on, and set the clock via the internet. It'll recognize it as being March 1st, and the problem will be done.
I learned all of this from a serious techie friend online. He's already fixed his own system via the method described above and is now offering that service to people in his area at $10 a pop. You'd have to be REALLY impatient to pay for that when an official Sony fix is supposed to be ready by tomorrow, though.
So to reiterate, this problem is affecting EVERY large PS3 model. Literally MILLIONS of consoles. All because someone made one weird little mistake when the hardware was designed over three years ago.
@Machu: I never really thought of you as being a jerk like that.

I haven't turned on my ps3 since i've read about all this stuff. I really don't want to lose any files and such so i'm not going to turn mine on until there is a patch or a fix. It does kinda suck though and this probably wont be the last time Sony makes a mistake like this.

Yeah, nobody's perfect. It just really, REALLY sucks that ONE little tiny mistake managed to take out so many PS3's all at once! When the stakes are this high, there should be more data confirmation. Is it really that hard to find out that 2010 isn't a leap year?
