If it resets to 12/31/1999 does that mean it won't effect us who have our date formats as DD/MM/YYYY? I haven't had my Phat on since yesterday so wondering whether to switch mine on today or wait a while and see what the solution is.

Negative. It has already reached Aus, in fact we were on one of the first ones hit, thanks to the time line. Hence Kotaku is where i first learned of it. Kinda happy my ps3 isnt on :)

Oh well then, we woulda been the first first to get it since we are even closer to the date line. I just hope if I leave off turning on the PS3 for another day all will be fine and the PS3 won't through a hissy when it figures out it's 2/3/2010 (only 2 hrs away). Dang and I was planning to finally start playing Uncharted 2 tonight. Oh well, what's one more day?

2 hours away? im in victoria and it is 8:13... are you in NZ?
