this countdown is like the millenium y2k one,

what's the betting nothing will happen this time too,

Don't underestimate the CELL!

You remember the Air Force's purchase of PS3's? This is just the beginning! :P

Speaking of that, I wonder how their PS3's are doing. They did buy the fat PS3's and all.

that's right,

whatever they were using them for,they are not using them right now

To find Bin Laden. He must be praising whatever god he worships right now.

lol,bin laden on the move confirmed,

he's got half an hour left,i assume he worships allah too

So....I wanted to test this whole bug thing, so I went to my friend's room upstairs and turned on his PS3 (he has an original 60GB model). I saw that it said "12/31" as the date, so I got scared that I would screw his PS3 by corrupting his data, so I turned it off. Then, I said to myself "I have a theory", I unplugged his ethernet, turned his PS3 back on....and the date was actually set back to 2/28. Not 2/1, but definitely not 12/31.

I went to date and time settings, and it said "2/28/2010", so it set itself back to 2010. I tried to see if 2/29/2010 even existed, and it didn't. So I changed it to 3/1/2010 (oh yea, I set the time manually, not via internet), and turned it off. Then turned it back on, and the date stayed at 3/1.

I fixed the widespread problem? lol

every1 can do that. do all the games work?.....

I didn't try that. Will do that now. Be back in 5

This has been cracking me up since I first thought of it. Hopefully this all rights itself once the clock rolls over to 3/1 and they have a long time till they need to have a fix. I really hope the PSN issue is cleared up, or at least can be cleared up serverside. I'd feel terrible for the people who would need to wait for a CD to be mailed to them.
