Has there been an official response from Sony what (if anything) they did?
PSN goes all Millennium Bug on us

Turned my slim on this morning and the clock was 10 minutes fast.
Not sure if it's related, but it was always synced via the internet so it came as a shock this morning as I thought I was late for work

No official word no, but i can guarantee all they did was wait for the binary clock in the PS3 to tick over to a date that the operating system recognised, thus allowing it to correctly connect to the PSN servers. I imagine in a couple of weeks there'll be a firmware update with no specific features, within which is a fix for the issue.

The clock is always fast, gains a couple of minutes a month, at least. Syncing via the Internet is a one off afaik. I sync it and it is on time, it gains time, after a while, and I sync it and it is OK again. i.e. the time servers on the internet are correct, but the local clock on the PS3 ticks a bit too quickly.

Always amazes me that a console capable of doing millions of calculations a second can't do something as simple as keeping time
I've yet to find a device (other than really good watches) that keep time well at all. My pc is only correct because it constantly checks time serversAlways amazes me that a console capable of doing millions of calculations a second can't do something as simple as keeping time

Keeping time is probably one of the most complicated things for the processor to do, the rest is just maths

A 3 quid wris****ch can keep better time than a PS3, surely it's possible to incorporate a Crystal_oscillator on the mobo somewhere?Keeping time is probably one of the most complicated things for the processor to do, the rest is just maths
lol at wrist-watch as one word being starred

Great! Now when i try to load up Heavy Rain it gives me a black screen! Might not have anything to do with the time bug, but oh well.

I've fixed a similar problem in the past, Ages ago now. I think it was with fallout 3. I had to delete the cache stored by the game on the hard drive. Under game data, NOT SAVEDATA.
I cant guarantee this will help with heavy rain, As i've not tried it. But it definately helped with Fallout 3. If your PS3 explodes I'm not to blame

dont think the console itself is the problem its the people who programmed it
Again with the thinly veiled comments! Clearly taking a jab at the high price of a PS3 now are we? How very predictable!
