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."

    Probably many of them will feel superior for never having made a logic bug in something as clear-cut as leap years (it's not even the year 2000 leap year problem). Just because they feel superior doesn't mean that they aren't actually superior, though!

    I think we should all use TAI and stop messing around with both leap years and leap seconds.
