PSN goes all Millennium Bug on us

Can't belive they made such a school boy error. This is day one comp sci stuff.
do you know what the actual problem was? Or are you speculating on the cause due to the outcome?

We know what happened, but I'm yet to read WHY it happened, if they've released this information, I would love to read it :D
 
So i'm guessing Sony have 4 years to fix this? Since for the next 3 years even if the internal clock reads a different date, it'll still be a date that is recognised by the OS until 2014. Unless its just a one off and someone set 2010 alone to be a leap year. :)
 
The fix is simple, let the O.S know that the hardware will think and get the date wrong on 29th feb or whatever every year or 4 years, whatever, and to accept it but put show the date right by a software code.
 
Or they could contact the world leaders to have a no phat ps3 date due to global warming and have it fall on this date. Would probably make more money on sales of slim ps3 then as well.
 
You may find that the date and time are wrong when you start up, but its just a case of correcting them, other than that you should be fine.
