PS3 owners in my dorm are knocking on each others doors to figure out what the eff is going on. Sony has finally identified what went wrong and what is their solution "dont turn on your consoles till we find a fix" *facepalm* The error is in the Leap Year Algorithm which confused the ps3 when the time came to magically jump from Feb 28 to March 1. What are your thoughts? PS3 owners are you pissed? My slim isnt affected but Im stilled pissed because there is still a chance for my trophies to disappear!

I could care less about trophies, I just want my PS3 to be fully functional again.

I'm already very disenfranchised with the thing, this is hardly helping matters.

Would have been nice to know not to turn it on yesterday... when I turned it on. /facepalm

My thoughts are, "this is atleast the 5th thread on this subject and it still sucks since, for the first time ever, I am getting the ability to play online"

Much ado about nothing.

Also, I'd say the four hundred and thirty two threads about the topic were probably enough...

It happens. Hasn't affected me yet, but I'm almost never signed in.

For some reason I can't shake the image of the G-Man saying "Prepare for unforeseen consequences."

*doesn't own a PS3*

Well...you could pull out the PS2. Which was the greatest console of the decade.

Man, where is my copy of Okami?

Wow... so a bunch of ps3 owners live in close proximity, and most likely own the same games. GOD, I bet you guys have so much fun! Frownyface, as even with an Xbox360 ( I own a Ps3, too but I have very little games for it, and nobody else I know plays it other than me) I don't really have the money to play the latest games, so while everyone is having fun on CoD, I play the Sims 2 for my computer.

Couldn't you name the thread ApocalyPS3? [sub]Thank you Funk for that awesome joke[/sub]

I'm pretty pissed off, but there is nobody to blame. Kind of a frustrating situation, but I will get through it.

We've already established this is the ApocolyPS3. Pay attention!

What I don't get is why it didn't do this the other 2 NON leapyears that it existed?

My trophies were gone on the game that I had in, but as I was playing it, I started tog et them all back even when I wasn't doing anything. Haven't got all of them back, but my friend said the percentage is still the same as before the error.

Is it? I didn't know.

YAH for this thread! and you too. Still doesn't change the fact that I still can't afford Heavy Rain though. Blew all my money on ACDC tickets.

Not really trying to sound anti-Sony, but I'm amazed that, as this affected debug consoles and dev consoles as well, this glitch kinda halted the industry for a day.

This... is a good question. Why didn't this happen last year? I call senanegans. But really, in the grand scheme of things it's not that big a deal. With the large number of 360's that have RRODed, you had to expect something like this to happen to Sony sooner or later.

Its like Y2K all over again.
