It is bizarre. I was playing Heavy Rain on my girlfriend's PS3 all day yesterday, and suddenly around 6:30 when i turned it off for a bit, and turned it back on, I got the error and couldn't play anymore. What is even more odd, is her PS3 has no internet connection, and hasn't even been online in over a month. WTF? I'm afraid to even turn my PS3 at home on.

I haven't touched my PS3 in a couple weeks and will be getting Heavy Rain today for my birthday.. now I'm scared to turn it on.
Apparently it's only for the older "fat" PS3's, so I guess my slim should be fine?

Someone please explain to me whats going on ... I havent played my system in over a week but if I turn it on...It will break? I am confused..Will it be fixed? Sony isn't saying too much yet. People on NeoGaf think that it's an issue with the system's internal clock thinking that today is the 29th. Since the date is not correct, it's causing the software to freak out, reverting to 1999. What some people have done to fix their issues is take the battery off the motherboard and putting it back on. Obviously you would want to not be under warranty since doing that will void it. This is extremely similar to the issue that happened to old Zunes last year. At least with the Zunes, it fixed itself after a few days. However, with the PS3s thinking the day's the 29th, I'm not sure how it's going to fix itself since it will always be a day behind now. Sony says they're working on it, but haven't made any updates in about 9 hours or so.

I'd just heard about this leap year theory and thought the same as you have said Mole, surely it will always be a day behind? Also, why does changing the date and time not have an impact on the issue? Is it not the on screen system date and time that is causing the problem, is it embedded elsewhere?
PS3 slims are reported to be having no issues at all. Conspiracy to make us all buy new PS3's I think! I don't really....

I have one of the 80 gig Backwards Comp.

The idea/hope is that at 0:00:00 GMT it will fix itself because the internal clock will be on a real date. The clock you see in the software will likely be off, but the PS3 should be functional if this is correct. Frankly, with Sony being as quiet as they have been since they confirmed that it is an issue, we won't have any idea one way or another until 6 or 7 hours at the earliest, unless Sony says something before then.
I wouldn't worry about having to buy a new PS3 until we know more info. Honestly, if the issue forces customers to buy new systems, you can be expecting a payout from the upcoming class action lawsuit.

I don't want a PS3 Slim. If the craphits the fans, I expect a new 60gb PS3 to replace the one I bought new. I don't care if Sony has to start making 60gbs again.

If it's more than just a simple clock issue, Sony would probably release a piece of software to the internet that you could put on a jumpdrive and do a system update that way. It's something they HAVE to fix, since developers debug consoles don't work either, and that means that game development is basically at a stand still for the PS3 right now because of this.

I was thinking about that but was wondering how they would take care of PS3 owners who are not hardcore enough to be able to find out about this themselves.

Eventually they would call wondering why the their console isn't working. And if they didn't, that's their own fault as a consumer.
