so much for clan matches tonight?

i'm not turning my ps3 on then, im 6 trophies away from platinum on darksiders and just completed those bastard combat challenges on batman leaving me 2 trophies til platinum

if i lose them i'll go on the fucking RAGE!

Shit I'm not turning mine on!!! O ooo clan matches!!!

balls i turned mine on before I read this, but it was going strange last night anyway lost the first 4-5 trophies for heavy rain but wasn’t that far into the game so I can start it again

CRAP! i turned mine on just a second ago, its off now..............

how the fuck are they going to fix this is your ps3 fucks up when you turn it on?

ohhh poo slim is unaffected yay XD
im on ok.

probs have to wait until midnight when the time updates

i still have me data/trophies ok. i hope its fixed soon.

Just spotted this


Here's what's going on right now: something with the PS3's internal clock has borked in some pre-slim models. This is not a PSN issue; it has to do with your PS3's clock. This clock is NOT related to the OS clock. It seems to be a leap year bug. Setting your clock ahead will do nothing. All PS3s around the world were affected at the exact same time.

Does this affect me?

-If you have a Slim PS3, you're good to go. Continue playing it as normal.
-If you have a "fat" PS3, you may be affected. Some fat PS3s have worked ok, but it seems a good majority have been bugged.

What does this bug mean?

-If affected, your date and time has been set to a random past date. This prevents you from signing into PSN, playing any PSN games, or using any DLC. Your trophies will also not display correctly or be able to sync.

How do I fix it?

-You can't. Even if you don't sign into PSN, it won't help. This is a hardware issue.

So, what do I do?

-Wait 24 hours. Other products that have had similar bugs have corrected themselves after the "bugged" day. On Monday around 6pm central time, all PS3s will automatically correct themselves...maybe.

-If that doesn't work, we'll need a firmware update from Sony, which should be a pretty important priority for them right now.

Did I lose my data/themes/etc?

Your save data/games/dlc/themes are fine. They'll be fixed when the PS3 is fixed. Trophies are uncertain right now, but they'll be fine if you've synced them before the PS3 was bugged. Unsynced trophies are an unknown right now.

If I have a bugged PS3, can I still use it?

It's probably not a good idea, as I have no idea what will happen to the trophies you earn during the bugged time. Movies/media will work fine.

So there ya go, my handy FAQ.

Ok then so it will get fix thats good.

sorry left this but out should go b4 the other bit

The going theory is that the PS3 is storing some form of date in GMT, then modifying that to get whatever you see in the on-screen clock. That modification process seems to be fine--the system can take 2/28/2010, 9PM GMT, add four hours, and get 3/1/2010, 1AM random time zone.

What's apparently effed, as speculation goes, is when the internal GMT-tracking rolls over to 3/1. It's either not rolling, or rolling to 2/29, at which point a system tries to add/subtract from 2/29, which it can't do because the front-end calendar doesn't have a 2/29/2010, and shit explodes. Seemed to happen around 4PM PDT, which I think is 12AM GMT, so.

And the PS3 launched in 2006; it's hit 4 2/28s so far. 2007 and 2009 were odd-numbered years; 2008 was an even, and a leap year. 2010 is the first even non-leap-year the system's been around for. If some sort of base-level math is choking on itself, it may have ruled out the odd 2007 and 2009 successfully, but is convinced the even 2010 is a leap year (this part I'm less sure of, but is why leap year could theoretically come into play at some point.)

Shiit boy my friend told me that when he tried to start CoD this morning it said 'No Modern Warfare 2 Trophies Found' or something along the line of that so is he screwed lol?

by the looks of what that dude has said about it hopefully should be resolved by tomorrow

the funny thing was i turned my ps3 back on and noticed the date sed 31/12/1999 but it hasnt been around since then lol, i changed the date but it sticks on the time so everytime i go on it says 1pm and works only wen i have the ps3 on

LOL has your stuff got deleted?

I just saw this

yeah it says the same thing as i've already put up internal calander is fooked

lol, the same stuff ha, erm no i havent went onto a game, all my stuff is still thr all the things ive got from the psn store is still thr and i can go on psn games, i aint chancing that with mw2 and that, i aint losing any trophies lol

question is when is safe. i am having withdrawel symptoms

its safe to turn on as far as i know, i havent noticed any change apart from not being able to sign in and the time and date being wrong. i dont have or care about trophies so dont affect me that way

everything else works fine for me, this is wierd, as rob pointed out, me and him were online after 12 oclock last night and things didnt fuck up, so whats the fucking problem now. my missus is gloating as im not able to get online, grr shes going to get clubbed i swear to fuck
