Regardless of whether or not you're even connected to the internet with your PS3 (...well, provided that you have one), chances are that you may have some problems playing some of the content on your PS3. Now, the specifics are a little difficult to pinpoint, but what it's come down to is this: You cannot sign into the Playstation Network on any affected PS3, and various other problems such as being unable to play games or movies have been reported.
The problem was that in the PS3's programming, someone set 2010 to be a leap year. At least, we assume this was the problem. On February 28th, when the PS3's clock changed, it became January 1st, 1999, and a stream of problems followed. For the MOST part, this effects the first-generation PS3s.
If you ARE one of the affected PS3 owners, do not be alarmed, and do not attempt to play your PS3 until an official firmware update is released.
That's it, pretty much.
