Passage of Time Solves PS3 Glitch

Posted by Soulskill on from the if-only-they-were-all-so-easy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A quick update on the widespread PlayStation 3 glitch we discussed recently: as of last night (Monday, March 1st) the problem has resolved itself. I powered up my PS3 to find the clock was set to April 29th, 2020, but once I went into the system menu and set the date and time via the internet I got an accurate date. That seems to be the test of whether your PS3 is 'fixed' or not; Sony says you should be all set."

    Slashdot has programmers who will feel superior. This one, Rik Sweeney, used this code directly to signal coding superiority. I had commented on this just awhile ago, and it came true!

    Stop attempting to belittle your fellow slashdotters to signal your "moral superiority".

    But in any case, I still have to wonder: why in the hell does a reduced instruction set computer have a buggy leap-year function?

    Mr. Xeno, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on Slashdot is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
