Reports started coming in just after 4am today (12am GMT/ 4pm PST) that people were getting a bizarre error when turning on their PS3s.

It’s basically glitching on a leap year status, which 2010 is not, resulting in your PS3 getting a random clock date set some time in the past (31/12/1999 in most cases!). You can’t connect to PSN and won’t be able to play any game you purchased from the PSN, nor any DLC. Read more
