My trophies from Heavy Rain are gone, actually the whole trophy list from this game was disappeared. I've tried GTA IV as well, the game works fine in offline, but its trophy list was gone as well once I played the game.
Once PSN is back and working, resync and they'll be back (probably). In the meantime stop playing games you have trophies for!

Actually, it's a bit more complex, but still no rocket science.
Well, I am aware of the additional math, but I could see a programmer leaving out the 400 and 100 elements in the assumption that no one will use a PS3 by the year 2100. That kind of human error/oversight I can see, when people are stipulating it must be because of the even year thing, which would mean someone used a 2 instead of 4 in the code. If it does turn out to be this, I am just going to shake my head, as it means someone shouldn't have a degree programming...
All the panicking I see over this is a tad amusing. It is clearly a software/firmware issue that can very likely be resolved though an update, even if it is just a work around patch. And it clearly isn't a PSN fault exclusively, as Slims are working fine and even offline Fats are having the date issues. What I do find odd is even games that don't require you to update or be online are having issues, such as Wipeout HD. I could see this being a file date issue, where the system sees an "impossibility" with the unlock dates being years "after" the current date.

Try "millions". Every fat PS3 sold. Every one of them. It's just that thousands of them are overreacting to a minor glitch that will be solved in due course.

It seems something in the firmware has messed up the system battery, as after manually setting the time it doesn't move. Does anyone who has no warranty left dare to open up their PS3 and remove the battery and put it back again, as I think it could fix the problem. I would do it, but having never opened up a PS3 I wouldn't know where to start.
Oh and Famine I thought it was every Fat PS3 too but it appears a very small number ( the newest ones I presume ) are working perfectly fine.

I've manually set the date/time. Seems okay.
We have a launch 60Gb and a last-fatty 80Gb. Both exhibit the symptoms (though I've not allowed either to connect).
If any are working normally, it's going to be a one-off batch of a specific model/region type. We're still looking at probably 75% of all PS3s ever sold - something in the order of 27 million consoles.

This is what happens when you manufacture so many different versions of a system and then expect to run them all without problems on the same firmware, thinking about it this was bound to happen at some point or other.
Famine, have you turned the PS3 off and then back on later? The clock was working while it was on this morning, I turned it back on again a while ago and the time hadn't moved since. It isn't keeping time while it is turned off, suggesting a battery problem.

I've got what I believe is a 160GB, original sized PS3, the model that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune came packaged with. I started playing Borderlands this past weekend, and I turned off the PS3 at about 11:00pm CST, last night. My internet connection has been 'disabled' for quite a while now.
I saw this thread, and I wondered if the date/time were messed up on my system. I just turned it on, and the date and time are correct....7:42 am on 03/01/2010. Maybe my particular model was not affected? I don't intend to enable my wifi connection for a good while.

That's a bit of a logical leap, given that there's no official word on what the problem is yet.
I said that I have manually reset the clock and the clock seems fine. I've also been successfully playing games offline. That doesn't in any way suggest the problem is solved for me. In either case, I'm just not that bothered by it. There's a problem, it is being looked into, nothing I can do will achieve a resolution.
This is why I went out and walked the dogs and had a cup of coffee instead of stressing about an issue over which I have no control.
ASH - I flicked the console off about an hour since, having got pissed off with how buggy "The Pitt" on FO3 was. I'll turn it on again in a few and let you know if it's stuck or ticking.
My fat 40gb (soon to be fat 1tb) launch is still working...though I'll admit the online games are a tad quieter than usual.
From what I've gathered, it's not specifically the firmware's inability to deal with leap years, rather the interaction between the PS3 and the PSN. If you've tried programming before, you'll know what happens when machine 1 thinks it lives 24 hours ahead of machine 2 and neither of them are programmed to deal with something like that.
Word is they've got a fix almost done. Apparently it'll go live on the 2nd, failing that the worst case scenario is "to have users download updates to a USB and install from there".
Oh, and if you're looking for a free game / online credit (like MS sent out when XBOX Live went down for...most of the holidays), don't bet on it.
On the other hand, a really messed up LittleBigPlanet character called APACOLYPS3...with model geometry all over the place and textures sideways and some aborted animation and bad clipping.

My 80GB fatty is affected too, noticed the 1/1 date immediately after logging in with my 'Offline' account (which has no PSN). I could reset the clock, but no logging in to PSN or syncing the time via internet. Games that require or are purchased off PSN will not work either.
Guess I'll be doing something different tonight.
I just hope (for Sony anyway 
) that it can be fixed with a firmware update and is not a hardware issue.

Well GT5p is playable... but no fun playing it offline...........
They should gives a cookie after the problem is solved! Maybe a free video or 2 in GT-TV! When i get a problem with my internet/TV provider, i normally call and stress a bit with them (thats how things get solved rapidly here
), after that i normally get free movie tickets in the mail ! If this kind of nice gesture is no problem to a smaller company, surely wouldnt be a problem to Sony! Obviously i wont count on it... we all know they dont care much about the fans opinion

Obviously i wont count on it... we all know they dont care much about the fans opinion!I tried that with no luck. To clarify, I was not logged onto the PSN from before the crash. Last night, at about 9:00 p.m. (EST), about five hours after the problem occured, was the first time I turned my PS3 on in about a week.

Well, I don't think there is any hope of any sort of compensation horde_r35, this isn't just one person with a fault, it is effecting millions. Sony aren't going to compensate that many people are they. We deserve an apology at the very least, but i'll doubt we will get that and to be honest, right now i'll be happy with just a fix.

Yes i know mate! Its just in case someone from Sony is reading this! For a multi multi multi million euro company that shouldnt be an issue! Thats less then pocket money
!EDIT: The Sony HQ in Portugal is 2 min from my house! I wounder what can happen if i go there and ask for the complain book
!
