PS3 CALENDAR BUG FIXED. READ OP - now I can play Bakugan Battle Brawlers, thank God

This is such a bizarre problem. Under normal outages and disconnections, we're still able to play our games and use content. And it wouldn't be isolated to the fats.

I'm curious if they'll actually reveal what exactly went wrong this time.

Sounds like there must have been some sort of server update that Sony did not fully test on the older model systems if its true that the Slims are working fine. Pretty big mistake to make an update go live without testing it fully.

Damn, what a wacky scenario. I wouldn't want it to happen, of course, but it would be kind of funny if there was like a Y2K for PS3s and they all self destructed like this.

Anyways, sounds like I'll be sticking to the SeXbox tonight.

PSN down my ass

I can perfectly log in to the PSN with either my PC or my Slim, it's just my 60 GB model refusing to log in... or not allowed to?

Can someone explain the fuck why does it affect DLC?

The PS3 isn't like the 360 and everything is supposed to be permanently downloaded and intalled. You are supposed to play everything offline if you'd like to do it (unless its an online-only game of course).

So WTF is up with that? Sony having a little trick soft somewhere checking if you're logged on PSN and then blocking stuff if needed?

it's obviously a firmware/software bug.

You might wanna give the network guys some time to fix the PSN issue. Your PS3's aren't broke.:lol

Ehhh, then how come if I disable PS3 internet access it still happens?

That doesn't add up.

A word of advise, do nothing. Do not start deleting or re-installing anything. Just wait it out. PSN is down the "corruption" messages and other errors are probably just misleading errors due to it being down. I bet once it's up everything syncs up fine. Leave it be.

You can't even pirate games with the OtherOS. Kind of a stupid reason to keep people from playing recent games.

How embarrassing for Sony

yep, must be it, it's too much of a coincidence that my problems started after GMT midnight today. Slims must have had that issue fixed.

Well I can log into the PSP PSN Store just fine and it didn't reset my PSP's date or nothing so its all a PS3 issue I guess? This is pretty weird and lame. Whats the leap year got to do with it? There wasn't one last year and nothing like this happened. Whys the PS3's calendar settings go back so far anyway? The PS2 wasn't even out in '99 nevermind the PS3 x.x

Once they unlock that inactive SPE we unlock 4d, in doing that anything is possible.

We're not in a leap year, but it's obviously a time related bug with the older model. Given how long Sony QA takes I can only assume we'll be getting a patch within the next few weeks.

Gran Turismo HD Concept still loads though, so I suggest you all practice that one track until you're geniuses at it.

helped a brotha out on multiple separate occasions!
Just tried my system (60GB US), I've had it off all day and the last time it connected was last night. I turned it on with the ethernet cable unplugged and the date was reset to 12/31/99 and I get an error when trying to launch Flower.

I have a 60 gig. I was playing Dante's Inferno and it kept signing in and out. I got to a point and saved and turned my PS3 off and went to a movie. When I came back I turned on my PS3 and noticed it didn't log onto PSN immediately so I tried to manually log in and it didn't work. So I just turned my PS3 off and came on here and saw what was happening. Is my data totally gone now?

I just for the hell of it manually switched the date on my Slim to 2001 (I couldn't get it to go back to 1999), and it didn't cause me any DRM issues.

Does anyone have a non-functioning PS3 fat that has not been on and connected to the internet at all today? IE, it appears whatever's happening ultimately borks data on the system, so once toasted the PS3 stays toasted until Sony fixes whatever; I'm trying to find out if anybody's had this happen when there's 0 chance that the system got /anything/ from PSN today.

Edit: Looks like some people immediately upthread have confirmed it's happening without the internet being involved. Sort of weird that it'd just explode like this, though.
