What I want to know though is why would a leap year issue have any effect on how the PS3 operates. I could see it possibly being screwy with PSN, but not the PS3 itself.

OMFG...my PS3 just bricked on me!

That blows, sorry man

Nah it really didn't. Just wanted to add to the scare. Lol.

Sorry folks. I have to have some fun while i'm bored out of my mind. :(

I spent 600 bucks on this thing, dont make jokes like that!

My ps3 turned 3 only eight days ago, shes too young to die

Mine didnt make it to 3, it died last week and my 3 year futureshop replacment warranty runs out mid march. :(
