The Article above, explains a "horrifying" day for Playstation Network Users around the world. As many people know February is the only moth in the year with either 28 or 29 days. More information can be found on why there are 28 or 29 days in February can be found:

Well because of this leap year business the online severs thought the date was 29/02/10 instead of 01/03/10 and it resulted in an error that stopped people from being able to play any game on their PS3's.

The reason why I chose to blog about this is because of the virtual explosion on forums and several other game related websites because of this error. Normal people would find this as a reason to put down the controller and engage in some other activity, but that was not the case. Instead what many people did was rigorously comment and spend their day blaming and virtually attacking Sony for this error.

Some people may not see this as an issue, however what many people don't realize is how massive the gaming industry has gotten in such a few years. For example, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 released on Nov 11th, 2010. The largest selling game of all time, made over $500 million upon its first week of release.

So, should people be freaking out because there console is not working properly? NO! "Are you playing the game or is the game playing you?". In fact the only people that should be aggravated about this are EA and DICE (Electronic Arts Digital Illusions CE) game developers as they are releasing the much sought after Battlefield: Bad Company 2 today.

However I personally am unaffected by this issue because I made the right decision when I bought my Xbox 360. Till next time.

Thank you for reading :D
