I got on yesterday, 28th of Feb, and it was down where any old model ps3 won't work anymore. It can't play games anymore until an update is issued to fix the date error.
It sucks. You get mw2 and can't play it.
Anybody else having problems?

I heard about this, something to do with it being the 1st of march 2010 and this creating a massive bug for ps3 users, however, i've heard this as since been fixed:

It's funny because the PS3 is supposed to be a highly sophisticated piece of technology yet a simple leap year calculation can't be done properly.

Well, its back up now. Still my favorite system, and does anyone play modern warfare 2?

And the 60% failure rate for the 360 is nothing? No but in a less fanboy related comment, the problem is because of calender issue. It's mainly to do with the PSN being confused about your PS3 and it's whereabouts.
