PSN Error Update
As you may be aware, some customers have been unable to connect to the PlayStation Network today. This problem affects the models other than the new slim PS3.

We believe we have identified that this problem is being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.

Errors include:

The date of the PS3 system may be re-set to Jan 1, 2000.
When the user tries to sign-in to the PlayStation Network, the following message appears on the screen; “An error has occurred. You have been signed out of PlayStation Network (8001050F)”.
When the user tries to launch a game, the following error message appears on the screen and the trophy data may disappear; “Failed to install trophies. Please exit your game.”
When the user tries to set the time and date of the system via the Internet, the following message appears on the screen; “The current date and time could not be obtained. (8001050F)”
Users are not able to playback certain rental video downloaded from the PlayStation Store before the expiration date.
We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, if you have a model other than the new slim PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.

As mentioned above, Please be advised that the new slim PS3 is not affected with this error. We are doing our best to resolve the issue and do apologise for any inconvenience caused.

For the latest status on this situation please check either PlayStation.Blog, Twitter or PlayStation.com.

is this lot down to a new ps3 update

to idle to look at the link

if so wont switch mine back on tell they have fixed it

Mine did this, I thought my kid had done a factory reset because the date had reset itself.

There's a theory that the PS3 will fix itself at 6pm central time as problem is caused by the PS3 internal clock thinking 2010 is a leap year and then getting itself confoooozed so in theory after that dodgy day is gone it'll fix itself.

Not convinced..shall just wait for a fix, will probably have to install new firmware from USB key or something...ho hum.

EDIT: Just tried it on the off chance seeing as it's 12:30 here and it all connected up OK...guess it's fixed itself then

EDIT #2: Sony confirmed it fixed itself: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/0 ... network-service-restored/

<_< is it safe?.......>_< hope nothing on mine got wierd, I turned it on yesterday to charge my controller the other day...

oh thank god i got the slim!


jesus christ this is gonna suck! i hope it gets fixed fast otherwise online is going to be g-ay-ay-ay lol
