UPDATE:
Just got word from Sony themselves, that the PS3 is good to go.
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 orPlayStation.com.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
ORIGINAL:
What was called the “ApocalyPS3”, last night and today was extremely depressing for fat PS3 owners.
Well, have no fear, because the issue has been fixed. According to a tweet from Insomniac, you just have to follow these simple instructions:
” PS3 Owners: Disable and enable internet connection, test it and set time via Internet. Start game, exit and sync trophies.”
Other sites, such as GameSpot and Platform Nation, were able to confirm this also.

So let’s get back into Heavy Rain and all of our other games.
