I can't let you do that Dave..... XD

And it makes me wonder if this issue showed up on "2/29/2009" and the same date/years before.

Pfft. Things are so needlessly complicated and falls easy prey to bugs and glitches due to time. How on earth, does a glitch in the hardware about what day it is, affect the system's ability to function?

I miss the days of the Playstation: No bugs. Just simple, easy gaming.

Hah... except those things overheated like crazy. I miss the days of the NES when any problem could be solved by blowing on a cartridge.

The NES was far too troubling to get it to work.

The Sega, now that was a stable system!

I never had heating issues with my playstation. As a matter of fact, there were times that I would leave it running for days at a time, only pausing the game and turning off the TV so I could return many hours later to continue the game (since, for whatever reason, not all games have saves).

I use to do that all the time with my playstation too, well i occasionally still do it with my psp...
I also miss the simpler times of the gaming systems, you just put in the game and played that was it.
