Until tomorrow (hopefully)... A calender issue has been reported to that make PS3 Phats goes crazy.
The issue is rumored to be that the Phats think March 1st to be Feb 29th when it is not a leap year. Turning on the console will cause problems should as trophies disappearing, some games not working (mostly ones with trophy support), and most importantly, the date being either 12/13/1999 or 1/1/2000.

So Y2K did happen, just a little late... by 10 YEARS!

If you have a slim, you're pretty much in the clear.

Edit: Sony is hoping the bug in the next 24 hours so keep your PS3 Phats off until then.
