Calendar Bug Disables Older PlayStation 3 Models 342
JohnWilliams writes "The Sony PlayStation Network appears to be inaccessible to older ('phat') PS3 units. Players cannot play games that require a connection, even in single-player, offline mode, e.g. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Also, the system date resets to January 1, 2000. Sony is 'looking into it.' Speculation abounds that it is a bug related to 2010 being incorrectly flagged as a leap year. The newer PS3 Slim models seem to be working properly."

The only reason I can see a video game not working because of mis-matched dates is because of DRM,
Well, if that's the only reason you can think of, you're not thinking very hard, are you?

It is not a bug, it is the Sony timer [wikipedia.org].

Give the guy a break, he could just be stupid.
Or he could be following the longstanding tradition of not knowing what the hell you're talking about when bitching on the Internet.
