Swine Flu has jumped species yet again!Is it Feburary 28th that is the death date? If someone switches on past Feburary 28th, everything should be hunky-dory, no? Unless the actual time function is screwed past that point!
From what I read, if you turn it on today you're still screwed. I'll be leaving mine off.

I do have a PS3 with Linux on it. But I am a little bit scared to turn it on.
Plus I think the information you get about the RTC under Linux is not the true RTC but whatever abstraction of the RTC the hypervisor is giving you.
Edit: Gah, actually I am really tempted to do it. But It is kind of late for me here and I just know I will be up all night playing with it and won't get any sleep! Maybe someone else will give it a shot.
Well they've got until tomorrow evening to sort themselves out. That's Tuesday night Fun and I'll sue if I'm deprived!
If anyone is going to sue it'll be the developers who have their debug consoles stuck in an endless reboot right now.
yeah, linux hwclock is fake. you don't have access to real hwclock under linux.
but even if it is abstracted the error should give some info

Err sony's "official" statements have all blamed PSN so far, I know I can trust myself, and most people here.

I don't think it matters. Linux will receive whatever hypervisor sends with it's internal clock plus the offset for linux hwclock.
The problem is currently internal hw clock is "stuck" in a decade ago, and it doesn't advance at all.
clock may be continuously sending a secret exception, but linux will not get it.
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to change it yet alone make it work again.
That's probably because authentication system seems to depend on it. So it's like a chicken and egg problem.

That's what you get for calling it Fat/Phat. 
My PS3 Heavy (like the solider units in various games) is working just fine. At least it was working just fine yesterday, all day, while playing WKC. It's an original full hardware BC unit, but this is a factory serviced refurb I was sent back.

Keep changing the date?
Smart Alec !

Aiight, I'll turn my PS3 Heavy at work on. If it works, I'm buying lottery.

More information on this please.
Has anyone tested this?
(And how is it performed? I don't even know how to get at the battery...
)*Edit:
Ah, I see someone posted directions. So you have to disassemble the PS3. Well screw that then, I'll wait for a software fix.
