For all the six cores, or whatever it has, and for all the powerful graphics chips the Playstation 3 still couldn’t figure out that this year isn’t a leap year. It just makes me laugh that something ridiculously complex, fails worldwide because of something so basic.

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, today nearly every Playstation 3 woke up and presumed that today would be the 29th of February (In case you were wondering, it isn’t). The firmware knew better but got confused when the internal clock said it was the 29th and rather than just resetting the clock, the system failed meaning people can’t connect to Playstation Network, access downloaded content or even play games.

It’s happening to every Playstation 3, at least the original ones anyway, and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow when the system clock will be showing a legitimate time. We’ve got 30 minutes before we find out…
