He was sacked. The ones who sacked him have been sacked. And then the moose that was running around was sacked.

So we calling this the Y2K10 bug? Or Y2K Part 2: The Next Decade: Buggered Harder?

Edit: So glad I decided the backwards compatibility wasn't worth the hassle of getting an old or used fat PS3.

More like the "Oh, God, the XBox fanboys are never going to shut up about this even though the PS3 is a totally awesome system with only one mistake to its name" bug.

Well it's got a few more problems than that, but yeah I just had a look at GameFAQs. It is hilarious over there. Like someone dropped chum into a pool of socially awkward, retarded sharks.

How do you fuck up the internal calendar? I could program one of those and if I was to program PS3s I would be forced to just staple bags of pills to the cpu with a note saying "Use your imagination".

That's what I'm thinking to. How lazy or bad are you to fuck up an internal calender that it screws up the system this bad. At least they picked a leap year to screw up the calender on.

It's not a leap year....
Holy shit did you program the calendar?

bluestarultor · 03-01-2010, 01:24 PM

The problem is apparently coming from the fact that the calendar THOUGHT it was a leap year and thus is throwing off network communications, which are time-specific.

Yes, see, I was totally referencing that and didn't get the whole leap year thingy fugged up....cause yeah.....

Mine gave me a glitch in regards to this earlier today, but I'm never online with it. My internet setting on my PS3 is disabled.

All it seemed to do was erase some of my trophy data. Like the game I was playing was Fallout 3 (game of the year edition). I loaded it up and was playing it, then when I saved my game I noticed that the save game file said 12/31/1999.

I just disregarded it as a stupid glitch.. Then I noticed that after I did something that should have gotten me a trophy, I didn't get the trophy, and then checked and all my trophy data for Fallout 3 was deleted.

So I turned off my machine for awhile, pissed off..then turned it back on and uninstalled Fallout 3 and reinstalled it (just curious to see if it would reinstall the trophy system). I was still able to play it, just no trophies...which I don't really care all that much about.

ed: What good does keeping your system off do?
