I knew "the man" wasn't going to let us down. He can be very resourceful when "profit" is at stake. I take my hat off to "the man", job well done.

I beg to differ...not that nothing is perfect, but that this really shouldn't have been a problem. Programming date calculations (especially post-Y2K) incorrectly is just outright lazy/incompetent work. It was stupid when the Zune had it; it was stupid in this case too (though it didn't require factory resetting your PS3, at least).

wait , wait , wait...they promised a fix within 24 hrs. ? and the problem was with the clock right??? They didint do shit but wait for the clock to tick over. They could not have changed the code and sent out an update to all of the older PS3s that quickly unless A. they knew of the problem and just waited to see what would happen , or B. They just waited for the clock to click over to the next day and hope that it rights itself via the internet clock and not have to pay a Butt Load of $$$ to re write code , etc.!!

The 360 got heavy RROD incidents at RELEASE, which shouldn't happen, not at 30% chance of failing and yet people still tolerate it.
TBH, one day without a PS3 is do-able.

The actual fix should be in the next 1 or 2 firmware updates...for something that was going to rectify itself in 24 hours, it wasn't worth the risk of pushing out a quick, not-fully-tested emergency update that people would have to download on a computer and put on a flash drive to update the PS3.
Some of us are still waiting for them to fix the HDMI glitches introduced w/ FW 3.10.

Anyone else have their blu-ray drive go out after the leap year glitch? Mine worked find the day before all the shenanigans and then decided to quit working the day after. The disk will spin but nothing comes up on the XMB.
