Owners of “Fat” PS3 models will be glad to know Sony has given the all clear. 24 hours after the issues started they have ended. The cause was the internal clock thought 2010 was a leap year. So after 24 hours the date changed from 2/29 to 3/1. SOny is saying you might still need to change the time or at least let the system sync with the internet, but all the problem are over.
No word on if gamers who accidentally corrupted their data from powering on the system need to take any actions. And also no word if this might be an issue in the future, but I’m sure there will be some fix in an upcoming patch to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
