Leap-year bug bites PlayStations | |

Sony said problems with its PlayStation Network that kept some PlayStation 3 users from playing games on or offline has been resolved. A posting on the PlayStation blog said Sony officials have identified the cause as a leap year bug in the clocks on their older PS3 units. The newer slim PS3 consoles were not affected. The posting said the internal clocks wanted to treat 2010 as a leap year, making March 1 into February 29. When the clocks rolled over to March 1, Sony “verified that the symptoms are now resolved and that users are able to use their PS3 normally.” Sony suggests that anyone continuing to have problems should adjust time setting manually or via the Internet. But the outage frustrated many PlayStation users, who lit up blogs and message boards with angry comments. One PS3 user said the episode prompted him to go buy an Xbox 360 console. | ||
