Do not use your older (FAT) PS3

taken form elsewhere.
This is from the official playstation forums - sorry for the long post
but it seems to be pretty helpful stuff:
-------------------------
Here's what's going on right now: something with the PS3's internal
clock has borked in some pre-slim models. This is not a PSN issue; it
has to do with your PS3's clock. This clock is NOT related to the OS
clock. It seems to be a leap year bug. Setting your clock ahead will do
nothing. All PS3s around the world were affected at the exact same time.
Does this affect me?
-If you have a Slim PS3, you're good to go. Continue playing it as
normal.
-If you have a "fat" PS3, you may be affected. Some fat PS3s have worked
ok, but it seems a good majority have been bugged.
What does this bug mean?
-If affected, your date and time has been set to a random past date.
This prevents you from signing into PSN, playing any PSN games, or using
any DLC. Your trophies will also not display correctly or be able to
sync.
How do I fix it?
-You can't. Even if you don't sign into PSN, it won't help. This is a
hardware issue.
So, what do I do?
-Wait 24 hours. Other products that have had similar bugs have corrected
themselves after the "bugged" day. On Monday around 8pm central time,
all PS3s will automatically correct themselves...maybe.
-If that doesn't work, we'll need a firmware update from Sony, which
should be a pretty important priority for them right now.
Did I lose my data/themes/etc?
Your save data/games/dlc/themes are fine. They'll be fixed when the PS3
is fixed. Trophies are uncertain right now, but they'll be fine if
you've synced them before the PS3 was bugged. Unsynced trophies are an
unknown right now.
If I have a bugged PS3, can I still use it?
It's probably not a good idea, as I have no idea what will happen to the
trophies you earn during the bugged time. Movies/media will work fine.

The most ridiculous thing Sony could ask, i didn't bought the thing to stare to it.
They should be responsible for any errors that may occure! let that be a lesson on the computer versus human thing.

Problem with internal clock incorrectly thinking this was a leap year, it seems. Apparently now fixed.
Mine's working fine this morning
Now I can finally get on with playing COD Modern Warfare 2 that came yesteray
