It's not a nice camera really, it's an older low end Sony 4.1MP. I just had lotta lights on in the room. and my TV's kinda nice :p

This is the exact camera that I used. on the highest (4.1 megapixel) setting.

Heh. They didn't have any footage, so they just used old (REALLY OLD) PS2 launch stock footage. Classic.

which could be a blessing in disguise for Sony.....hopefully Casuals will think the PS2 is the one that had the problems.

As soon as I got up I checked GAF to see if it was fixed and knew immediately that it was because the thread was still in the quadruple digits(which is still no small feat). This thread was epic, see you all on February 29th 2014.:D

Everyone should spam the blog, I'm sure they'll give in. Plus it would guarantee Grace's PSstore blogpost gets rated 5/5, so you know she'll support it.

People were reporting not all fatties were having problems; Sony says perhaps 20m units were affected yesterday:

Also, so glad to see Sony get its due for fixing this problem. I hope the engineers involved get bonuses and extended leave as reward. :bow sony ingenuity :bow

Wait how did Sony fix it? I wasn't connected to the net and mine fixed itself after midnight. I sure as hell didn't have any Sony ninja engineers sneak in and fix it.

Eurogamer has a list of which fat models were affected.

And it wasn't exactly fixed by anything that Sony did. The underlying problem is still there and it's only repaired in the sense that the PS3 now thinks that it's a real date. Rolling over to the next day fixed it.

Thank God the system fixed itself, imagine the consequences of a major recall of a console that still doesn't make money on the hardware. Lets hope for some kind of free game to keep the community happy.

So, I just booted up my Ps3. Offline. And there was nothing wrong with the date.
I guess my Ps3 wasn't affected after all.

If you didn't turn it on at all during the leap year bug period of course it looks like nothing happened.

Before today, I hadn't turned on my Ps3 for a few days.
And my console is always offline when I boot it up. I guess it corrected itself somehow, even in offline mode lol.
I'm just glad that everything's fine.

Yeah, I know. It was internal.
But what if your console isn't connected to the internet? Do you have to establish an internet connection to fix the bug?
I don't know how it can fix itself otherwise.

Well, the time on my PS3 when I started it up was 1st of March, which is clearly wrong since it's 2nd of March here in Australia. However, I didn't even have to sync my trophies since it's all already there (I synced it 9 hours prior to apocalyPS3). So yeah, it was kind of non-event for me.

Oh well, Heavy Rain platinum, here I come!

Lost my Heavy Rain trophies...what`s weird is that I have the ones from the 23rd of February,but everything between then and the ones I got last evening finishing the game are gone...oh well,this is one game I might replay at some point so I hope they will repop then,otherwise it`s no big deal,at least my save was intact.
