PSN goes all Millennium Bug on us

I don't know what would make me happier:
1) Turning on my PS3 in an hour and it working fine - phew. Or...
2) Turning on my PS3 in an hour and it is still borked, and then imagining palms getting sweatier at Sony HQ as the panic ramps up to the next level.

Outcomes for me:
1. turn on at midnight it works, I go to bed.
2. turn on at midnight it doesn't work, I go to bed and wait for an official Sony response.
Nothing to lose sleep over

Yeah, I love my PS3, but the idea of this becoming a massive problem and Sony sweating it out until midnight has brought out my mischevious side.
Will be interesting to see what kind of bulll**** the Sony marketing department will think of to downplay this problem tomorrow saying they had full control and were never worried.I don't know what would make me happier:

New marketing slogan:
Never has there been a better reason to 'upgrade' from a Phat to a Slim, do it now and we will do everything we can to get your trophies back

That would be silly because a full recall could potentially end Sony.

How do you remove the battery?
Al Qaeda will be held responsible and sony will be forced to invade somewhere that more xbox's are sold than playstations as a result.

Yep. The amount of consoles affected would mean a mahoooooosive hole in Sony's pocket that I very much doubt they could handle.

How many ps'3 could be potentially affected lets say if every fat ps3 needed a recall how many units would that be.
*edit* just seen a site saying 26 million were sold up until march 09 worldwide
let me see lets say £100 to fix each one thats including carriage,staff payments,parts etc etc thats about 2.6 billion ain't it? (tight bums at sony at midnight you can almost hear the squeaks now lol)
