This is pretty similar to the worries that people had about the computer clocks not being able to function past the year 2000.

On a reduced scale, yes, it definitely is.

Right, except that will only happen once in the history of digital record keeping. Obviously when keeping records digitally started, they didn't think about it, but now that it has happened everyone will always be aware of the issue.

In contrast, leap years happen every 4 years. How could Sony not have forseen this? Did they not think their product would be around in 4 years?

That's what I find so genuinely funny about this.  It isn't a "what-if" issue.  This was BOUND to occur, so where's the mix-up?

No its still there. Its just what caused it went away (aka time past). Lets hope they don't count anything else wrong.

True, but at least now they can push an update through PSN which fixes the problem for next leap year.
