PS3 Glitch Was A Millennium Bug ?

The infamous PS3 glitch mentioned which caused a Error 8001050F was a millennium bug, delayed for 10 years. Of course, the issue have been resolved. Patrick Seybold, senior director of corporate communications writing have commented in the official Playstation Blog -

“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.”

Those with Windows Mobile might have recalled a similar bug before. Of course this isn’t a direct relation with the PS3 glitch but lets hope any more electronics won’t have such a issue.

No software update is required
