    They've acknowledged it. But the moral of the story is, if you had an Xbox you'd be playing right now.

    Fixed. :)

    Some more

    What's apparently effed, as speculation goes, is when the internal GMT-tracking rolls over to 3/1. It's either not rolling, or rolling to 2/29, at which point a system tries to add/subtract from 2/29, which it can't do because the front-end calendar doesn't have a 2/29/2010, and **** explodes. Seemed to happen around 4PM PDT, which I think is 12AM GMT, so. And the PS3 launched in 2006; it's hit 4 2/28s so far. 2007 and 2009 were odd-numbered years; 2008 was an even, and a leap year. 2010 is the first even non-leap-year the system's been around for. If some sort of base-level math is choking on itself, it may have ruled out the odd 2007 and 2009 successfully, but is convinced the even 2010 is a leap year (this part I'm less sure of, but is why leap year could theoretically come into play at some point.)

    The PSN network is fixed... for the meantime. However, if you gained any trophies in the past few days, they are gone. I have the Wildebeast Crossing trophy in Afrika, but everything else after that is lost, and I cant just go back and get them again. Stupid reverts...
