Well my wife and I watched a few blu-rays last night to test out our new 42" Plasma. Hopefully that doesn't screw me over in the end of all this now that Sony says not to turn on the phat PS3s.

Then you can get the update via a computer and use a USB drive to update firmware.
Are we really sure it will fix itself? Won't the date automatically be forced to the wrong date because the clock believes there is an extra day in the year? I'm not a programmer, so I've got no clue - but, it seems like all calculations following that day would be screwed up without some sort of fix.

PSN down is a symptom
The OS clock reset to 1999 is a symptom
Trophies missing is a symptom
The problem is the system clock thinks it is Feb 29 2010, which is impossible, and the system clock is forcing this idea AS FACT on other parts of the PS3 interworkings. The PS3 will not get fixed until the system clock registers a date that it actually possible - although may not be correct - that date is March 1st 2010, which be PS3 will move to March 2nd 2010

"Sony encourages you to take every 4th March 1st off to go play outside. We recommend walks, bike rides, and enjoying women."

I do have to say I am glad that I upgraded to the slim back in August. This post reminds me of my original picture I took though when I had both systems together:

Just turning it on won't do anything. You have to do something like try and access the store, play an online game, play DLC, or play one of the newer games that does that weird "trophy loading" thing before the game starts. Even then, your only risk is that local trophies that haven't been synced to the network may be lost. Dynamic themes may be corrupted, but those can just be re-downloaded from the store.
Goddamn it! WHY NOW SONY? WHY?
I was going to play some Heavy rain, as I finally had yesterday evening off, and today morning. And I will have to be out of the apartment at 5pm. This is like... intentional. My girlfriend was going to start her game of Dragon Age too, and I was looking forward to that!

I think it's impossible to make a firmware, test it on all models and release it when they can investigate the issue to make a good patch in 2/3 days and let the thing resolve in 6 hours.
Sems like a bold thing to do, they could introduce worst bugs for launching it without proper testing :S

Yes, but the PS3 may still work fine with the day off by one. It's a difference in kind between a calendar error that's off by a day (March 1 instead of March 2) and a calendar error that produces an impossible date (February 29, 2010 or June 45, 2010 or April Q, 2010).Briarios said:

Not sure if this has been posted, but its from the PSblog
As you may be aware, some customers have been unable to connect to the PlayStation Network today. This problem affects the models other than the new slim PS3.
We believe we have identified that this problem is being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.
Errors include:
* The date of the PS3 system may be re-set to Jan 1, 2000.
* When the user tries to sign in to the PlayStation Network, the following
message appears on the screen; An error has occurred. You have been
signed out of PlayStation Network (8001050F).
* When the user tries to launch a game, the following error message appears
on the screen and the trophy data may disappear; Failed to install
trophies. Please exit your game.
* When the user tries to set the time and date of the system via the
Internet, the following message appears on the screen; The current date
and time could not be obtained. (8001050F)
* Users are not able to play back certain rental video downloaded from the
PlayStation Store before the expiration date.
We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, if you have a model other than the new slim PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.
As mentioned above, please be advised that the new slim PS3 is not affected with this error. We are doing our best to resolve the issue and do apologize for any inconvenience caused.
For the latest status on this situation please continue to check either the PlayStation.Blog or PlayStation.com.

It seems to be just games with trophies and downloaded games that require a DRM check that aren't working. I was able to boot up my non trophy games without issue last night.
