Sign of the ApocolyPS3

What would you do if you owned a PS3, and all of a sudden, one day, it didn't want to let you play certain games, or sign in to the PSN? Well, recently, there has been an incident where, well, this has occurred.

Only affecting the older "fat" PS3s (as opposed to the Slim ones), a bug has been found that prevented PS3 users from not only going online, but playing some games offline, as well.

It took them some time, but Sony discovered the true source of the dreaded error (code 8001050F). Apparently, there was a problem with the internal clock functionality, concerning leap years. Sony have released a fix for the problem and, 24 hours after the problem was first reported, people's PlayStation 3 consoles finally returned to normal.
