I'm trying to understand the error my PS3 is having. It seems to be due to a calendar bug with handling leap years. With 2010 being the first even non-leap-year the system's been around for. People who have the error, like myself, are having their clock reset to 12/31/2000 at a random time. Anyone have any ideas?
