Wow WTH? Are phat users facing this issue? Someone please confirm. I'm out of station for a week.
Yes only fat PS3 users are facing this problem. Slims are running fine.
Read this :
The going theory is that the PS3 is storing some form of date in GMT, then modifying that to get whatever you see in the on-screen clock. That modification process seems to be fine--the system can take 2/28/2010, 9PM GMT, add four hours, and get 3/1/2010, 1AM random time zone.
What's apparently effed, as speculation goes, is when the internal GMT-tracking rolls over to 3/1. It's either not rolling, or rolling to 2/29, at which point a system tries to add/subtract from 2/29, which it can't do because the front-end calendar doesn't have a 2/29/2010, and sh*t explodes. Seemed to happen around 4PM PDT, which I think is 12AM GMT, so.
And the PS3 launched in 2006; it's hit 4 2/28s so far. 2007 and 2009 were odd-numbered years; 2008 was an even, and a leap year. 2010 is the first even non-leap-year the system's been around for. If some sort of base-level math is choking on itself, it may have ruled out the odd 2007 and 2009 successfully, but is convinced the even 2010 is a leap year (this part I'm less sure of, but is why leap year could theoretically come into play at some point.)
God damn it, the GOW 3 launch is hardly 15 dayss away and his thing had to happen!
It won't take that long and our PS3 will be back and running in few days time but problem is of unsynced trophies. if you haven't synced them with their server it is very likely that you have lost 'em.

my phat is not connected and I have played Grand theft auto 4 twice today.
So I guess it works for me?
GTA IV was released two years back mate, Try loading a newer game such as MW2, Dante's Inferno or Heavy Rain and you'll encounter into same problem.
I won't suggest any Fat PS3 users to connect to PSN or play any game till it is solved because you may well end up losing/corrupting your save content and trophies. Sad but true, it looks likely that unsycned trophies are lost.
Sad day for fat users, If it goes like this i'll sell this one and get a slim
I guess most of us will do the same.
