Well played Daft Punk.

Apparently the clip was shown right at midnight making it March 3rd or numerically 3. 03, hinting at their popular 303 synth used in lots of their earlier music. Can anyone confirm this detail?

What are your thoughts on the first official Daft Punk original in years? Also below is the 10 hour version for those who can’t get enough Daft.
