Older PS3 models have a date problem

I found it interesting as I went hunting down the reason why my older PlayStation 3 model would always reset to the wrong date and time, then I found out it's a bug that Sony knows about. Supposedly the PS3 systems with the problem shouldn't be used until the bug is fixed. I just hope it doesn't become an expensive paperweight.

Some people on my socom team had this problem.

Luckily I have the new model and didn't have any problems. I would have been royally pissed off.

Supposedly the problem has self-repaired itself according to this article:
