Here is some speculated info I found on the PS boards...

Quote:

The PS3 has two clocks
A system clock
And a OS clock

When you boot your PS3 up, the system clock says (or should say), "Its March 01 2010, set yourself as March 01 2010 mr OS"
The system clock is always running and never stops, even when your PS3 is off, it has a backup battery and recharges when your PS3 is on
Basically, it runs 24/7 counting upwards
The clock can not be altered by software or by hacking it and it only counts upwards
NOW, the system clock thinks theres a Feb 29th, so instead of rolling over to March 1st, it went over to Feb 29th and now when it tries to compare the system clock with the OS clock when you load your PS3 up, the OS clock thinks, "woooooaaahh, **bleep** is going on here" and it sets it to 1999

PS3 models affected:
CECHA01 - affected
CECHE01 - affected
CECHG01 - affected
CECHH01 - affected
CECHK01 - affected
CECHL01 - not affected
CECHP01 - not affected

Now, theres two solutions:
A. Kill the system clock so it restarts (you do this by taking the battery out in your PS3 + void your warranty)
B. Wait till March 2nd and hope that the clock fliks over to March 1st

Now the above is what everyone is talking about on the internet, but from my knowledge, I can tell you we are possibly looking at a mass recall by Sony

Why? Because as I said the system clock only counts UPWARDS and never downwards
And it is fully protected, even if Sony came to your house and done a hypervisor call on your PS3 to reset your clock, it wouldn't work
The ONLY way to reset the clock is to take out the battery, thus, voiding your warranty
Firmware update would also resolve NOTHING because its not a software issue, the software is perfect, its a hardware issue

Even if Sony worked some miracle and brought out an update, 50% of PS3 users don't even have internet access, or no internet on their PS3's, so how will they update? USB? Game disc?

The fact of the matter is Sony is in great trouble, they don't know where they are going to end up after this

So what WILLSony do?
Easy answer, wait until 12:01AM GMT (the system clock runs in GMT no matter what timezone you are in) and hope that the system clock fliks over to March 1st
But what if it fliks over to February 30th?
Then Sony will have no choice but to do a recall, because as explained before it is unpatchable and there is no working solution unless you void your warranty

So it looks like we will all have PS3 Slims with no backwards compatibility and no linux and we will have no gaming in our living rooms for the next 3 months

All thanks to Sony Computer Entertainment

Brilliant Sony, you really outdid yourselves this time

Not to mention the hundreds of court cases they'll have to go through
Imagine if you had bought a PS3 on February 28th
And then the next day, BAM, its a useless media player

Glad I have a Slim. Can't wait for MLB10:TS this week.

Sure-Oz · 03-01-2010, 04:01 PM

So at midnight i can check my ps3 and see if the date is right? So their real solution is to just hope the date changes to march 2nd?

I wasn't as worried about this until i read the speculation, im hoping there is an alternative then just hope it goes to the right date.

Actually, based on what I am reading it is based on GMT so it will be at like 6 or 7pm tonight. The solution doesn't make sense to me though in that the clock will still be one day off regardless.

I just want to know how in the hell they fugged up something as simple as the clock.
