if the ps3 (160 phatty) hasn't been plugged in at all for the past couple of days, will there be a problem if i were to wait for all this to blow over?

Honestly I don't think being online at all affects this. I believe that even if your console is off atm you still may be prone to this issue.

Actually, I think it was stated that if you were already logged on before the clock rolled over to 2/29, you'd be fine.

It's only if you turned your system on after the clock rolled that you'd be experiencing all the related date error problems. I can vouch for this personally.

I'm not turning my other system on until the fix is announced.
