March 1st 2010 means we skipped a few days in February. People are assuming the internal clock wasn't programmed for the leap year or something.

i dont think its going to be a simple patch/update, i think sony are prob just about to lose millions, because i recon they might have to do a recall? its a firmware fault, thats why the ps3 slims can still online
