After twos days of PlayStation 3 fan boys overwhelming Sony’s support lines crying
over their broken PS3 console units, it looks like Sony has tracked down
and resolved the cause of the network glitch.
The electronic giant wasted no
time responding the potential PR disaster having just witnessed what the
Japanese car maker Toyota just went through. Sony is however not saying precisely
what caused the glitch and how they resolved it.
On the official Sony PS3 blog,
Sony
stated : ” We are aware that the internal clock functionality in the PS3
units other than the slim model, recognized the year 2010 as a leap year.
Having the internal clock date change from February 29 to March 1 (both GMT),
we have verified that the symptoms are now resolved and that users are able
to use their PS3 normally. If the time displayed on the XMB is still incorrect,
users are able to adjust time settings manually or via the Internet. If we
have new information, we will update you through the PlayStation.Blog or
PlayStation.com “.
Meanwhile, others have seen the funny side
of this whole thing. Spin off videos are already in the viral sphere on platforms
such as YouTube depicting Adolfs take on this glitch.
