You are meant to remove batery from inside to fix it, to reset your clock inside ps3. Mine is fine, but I wouldnt advise to do it.

 

[mrmotion]

Unbelievable is all I could say for this whole debacle.

 

[Zenthar]

I just wonder HOW 2010, or any year ending by XX10 could be a leap year...

Uh no. You are meant to leave it alone and let it fix itself for this problem.

Just a temporary inconvenience.

Hehe, Sony's solution is like my IT strategy...

"Did you reboot your system?"
"Come back tomorrow, if there's still a problem I'll look into it."

No one ever comes back 😀

Why did you have to mention RROD? This is all about PS3. What a fan boi.

 

[gamerk316]

Known software issue; funny how Y2k's decendents still are floating around...

Next up: the 2038 bug [which will probably bring down 90% of all systems, simply due to legacy issues with such an old bug...]

 

[gamerk316]

Known software bug. Y2k lives on 😀

oh man we will not even get to that with judgment day coming in 2012

 

[nevertell]

I haven't seen a rrod fixing itself.

 

[chuenl]

This is similar to the Zune leap year problem on a different month.

 

[mrmoo500]

I knew y2k2 would come back to haunt us...

I think I'm going to adopt your policy. =)

Daylight Savings issues: understood, countries keep moving the date around after all.

Leap-Year issues: WTF? "if (Year % 400 == 0 || (Year % 4 == 0 && Year % 100 != 0)){ Is_LeapYear = 1; }" There, Sony, copy it and use it. My consulting fee is $1 billion dollars.

 

[False_Dmitry_II]

For the record the Zune leap year problem was Toshiba's fault. (I've got one of the ones that had it happen)

Also, don't forget the yellow light of death - the PS3 is not without it's own issues.

And yeah, I've had 2 RRoD's.
