The more I think about this, the more I think it will get solved after midnight GMT. The fact that people in Australia are seeing the date going forward makes me think that the internal clock is not stopped, which probably means that it will advance to a valid date after midnight.

like I said strange thing's have happened, but I would not bet on it.

Interesting, hopefully time fixes the problem for those that do not have a connection to the internet in their house.

time  I would bet would not do it..though strange thing's have happened..

I am now almost certain it is indeed a Bios check problem. due to the fact that the Mobo battery on the PS3 keep's the bios state no matter if the PS3 is on/off

thus even the developers debug unit's would indeed be effected by this.

I haven't been reading everything on this.  Is there anything that affects people not trying to connect to PSN?  There are some people who do not have connectivity to the internet in their house, and I am afraid Sony will have to set up a way to send CDs to those people.

you could still get the update by PC, but if worse come's to worst they would indeed have to send out a new UPDATE by CD if there is no connection to the internet at all

but yes many people can still surf the internet even with this bug , just no connection to the PSN.

My PS3 was bought in late 2008. 80GB, no backwards compatibility. Am I safe?

what's the series of your PS3?

because there is a list of unit's series that have not been effected acording to some people their unit's are working fine, though that may be they are still connected to PSN if they log out and try to log back in that may indeed effect them, that's why i asked the person in this thread who rebuilt their PS3 what happened after he put the PS3 back together since the Mother board battery was removed from the PS3 for a while that he stated that his PS3 is working just fine.

Damn it! I'm sick at home and I was planning to spend the day watching some movies. I'll not risk firing my PS3 only to add some problems before Sony solves them.
