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 put Valkyria Chronicles in (without being signed into PSN) and it worked fine, so I plugged the ethernet back and logged into PSN, and put in Modern Warfare 2. Joe (my friend) is playing it right now as I type this


as i undestand it,Valkyria would of worked as it doesn't have trophies,

i didn't try that as i had already logged in and it messed up my clock stuff and ddidn't want anymore corruption

but maybe i'm wrong

there are reports of them working again so it could just be the biggest coincidence in history

Lost my inFamous trophies...but the funny thing is that they are still registering on my PSN ID...but not on my PS3 list

You can get a firmware or patch without being logged in PSN. I have the bug and i did download the patch for heavy rain (260MB) without being logged in PSN, though wont load so I cant play it

I just bought heavy rain and did the exact same thing as you. This sucks soooo much.
