PS3 leap year bug

Hey, I owned a Zune for awhile. Great little media player. I'd still have it had it not gotten stolen :crying:

Anywho, I left my PS3 on all last night trying to pad my scores for F@H... I never bothered to check on it this morning... I wonder if its going or if it took a header when it time traveled.

Do not turn your ps3 on apparently.

 

Well of course they aren't, it's common knowledge. I was trying to be sarcastic.

 

RIP PS3 2006-1999

 

Seems that the problem is sort of fixed. I can log into PSN and all my trophies are showing up. I went into Date/Time Settings and got it to update via the internet and it's currently showing 2/3, 0:57 so it's an hour ahead of itself atm.

I'm gonna turn it off until after midnight and then try to update the time again.

 

On the plus side of things, earlier this week i bought MK2 and I've yet to be charged

 

It's not great though. They should have had UMK3 on there, or maybe Trilogy.

 

My US 20GB (Nov 2006) PS3 been offline for a while and remote start is off.
I turned remote start off because I disliked the idea of it keeping the CPU and harddrive running while it was on standby...


I used it all day long today and only saw the issue after I spent hours using it. I suppose if I had the ethernet cable connected (my unit has no Wi-Fi) I would probably being another victim of this problem.

Amuses me the fact that just by keeping the unit completely offline kept me from having issues (which I was completely unaware of until a few hours ago)

And that seems to indicate that it's a software issue, not a hardware issue with the internal real time clock as some websites suggested.

 

It's a good thing i haven't turned on my ps3 in a week hahahaa

 

i'm pissed i couldn't get my ps3 to do anything cool. i wanted to see it lose trophy's and data

 

MK2 > Trilogy, trilogy is broken beyond broken. Sure MK2 has Mileena and JAX as god tier but it's not nearly as abusable with infintes.

but regardless, i wasn't charged for the game. Hurray!

 

I think they released an updated Trilogy with infinites fixed.

 

not all, it's still pretty bad haha. Just play UMK3.

 

So this doesn't affect the PS3 Slim at all, right? I just turned mine on (not having seen this thread) and it had the correct time and date.

 

It doesn't.

Besides, PS3 all around the world are now working properly.
