+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted March 2, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted March 2, 2010 In Japanese trading today, Sony saw a small rise in shareholding, gaining 1.3% in the Nikkei index after fixing it's mysterious leap-year glitch. The company is also gaining a rise in shares in the New York Stock Exchange.The potentially crippling leap-year bug was caused by an internal clock issue. The console thought that it was a leap year this year, and was then not allowed to connect to the PlayStation Network. Once the date changed to the next day, the error fixed itself and the consoles began to work normally once again. Most likely, Sony are working on a firmware update to make sure this doesn't happen again, but nothing official has been announced.

Well then they stil don't owe you anything unless you're within warranty. and even if you are, practically all consumer protection laws give the product maker significantly more than 1 day to fix a problem before compensation. So you're all out of luck anyway :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
