It had nothing to do with PSN, you are correct, but it was effecting users whose consoles have never been connected online also. So it’s nothing to do with it linking back to PSN.

The fundamental issue is that the PS3 internal Hardware clock is set via GMT. There was a bug within that clock which believed that yesterday was the 29th Feb, 2010 (a leap year).

The Operating System clock runs off partly off that clock, and it knew there isn’t a 29th Feb, so it doesn’t know what date to to show and a confliction is caused, that’s why it was dropping back to either 31/12/1999 or 1/1/2000, that is the default date for the PS3.

Trophy games were generally effected, as they obviously check for a valid time and date when they boot, as they assign time and date values when you unlock one, because there were date conflicts, the game fails to run.

By all accounts, non trophy games were working fine, as this is something they don’t need to do.
