Summary: it's a bug in the clock which is capable of causing catastrophic data loss for users.
Sony: "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."
You heard 'em! If you're rocking an original PS3 (i.e. not the Slim), DO NOT TURN IT ON until they get things fixed.
Just noticed that the date and time are now wrong on my PS3, and even though I completed Heavy Rain, all of my trophies have disappeared from both my console and on the playstation site.
I thought my son had done something wrong on line. I tryed Warcraft and Mag all have the same Error code 8001050F. Jist have to wait and see from Sony.
From what Joystiq is reporting, it sounds like it might be a PS3 system-level issue that is contributing (or is at least related) to the outage. Obviously super early to tell right now, but the folks at Sony are going to have a long night ahead of them.
This issue is affecting my PS3 (fat, 60GB). The date was reset to 12/31/1999. In addition to being unable to login to PSN my Netflix disc will not work. My guess is that this is a leap year date calculation bug, and much like the Zune, will resolve itself after 24-hours have passed.
im having trouble with the 8001050f code 2 i thought id done something wrong but after looking at what you guys are putting i guess we are in the same boat can i play on my ps3 when i put a game in it just says that i cant gain trophys
ive tried to set up another account but am still getting the same problems and does anyone know wether we have to send in our ps3's to sony for repair?
yea I have the same problem, also noticed most of my trophies have disappeared but im assuming once were able to sign in that problem should resolve itself. Also MW2 doesnt work at all, saying the thing about the trophy info. but that seems kind of ridiculous given that your supposed to be able to play it offline as well, Ratchet and clank works fine but trophies disappeared after playing it.
so wat? do we just w8 until Sony fixes it or wat?.. yes i got the 60 GB also.. btw that code 8001050F means console games are (un-playable origin unknown)
i have the orignal ps3 fat 60 gb i have error code 8001050f i can use the net but not playstation network? BUT i can sign in and out on my sons new slim ps3 no problem. its not the settings on ur playstation 3 its them when i was on line on the slim ps3 theres no 1 else on line. your not the only 1 theres lots of us having the same problem.
i had the exact same problem i first discovered it when my clock and the date was wrong then when i tryed to sign in to PSN it says and error orrured . also when i tryed to play fifa10 it loaded were you chose your language and then it said the trophy info could be loaded then i had to quit the game and it did the same thing on all the other games i own. how long will it take until this problem is sorted. btw i have the fat 80GB model. lfc_AdAm_2010@hotmail.com
AHH SINCE LAST NIGHT I COULD NOT PLAY MODERNWARERFARE 2 even if I just want to play the story mode and finish it it cancels you out the game. and dark rain WONT UPDATE. They should at least put a warning! I cheked there website and the offical forum they didnt say anything. Then I went to my xbox 360 and they are updating toooo. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! LOL
yeah me 2 i know whats wrong though the PS3 network thought monday was febuary 29 when it came 2 today it stut down im finding the # to find out how long it will take then tell all you
unable to play any game online, same error code. also unable to play any games I downloaded from PSN. I hope this issue is fixed soon. my system date an was unaffected.
last night i was playing peggle and noticed some of the stuff that i unlocked was locked. i check the game date utility and it was still there. :/ if this messes up or ps3s will sony be accountable?!? will we have to send them back and PAY MONEY to get it fixed?
Thanks for telling us that Ryan I needed to know that.Also everyone stay off of your ps3 my dads friend went on it and he did a download and it took off all of his games and stuff he got from the playstation network
This would seriously put crimps in my date night plan with my wife to watch a movie, if we hadn't decided to go out instead. Hopefully this well get resolved soon.
thank you for the info on the playstation 3... its a dam shame cause were trying to play. while the slim 3 owners are having fun.. not to mention xbox users.. i for 1 have an xbox. but was hoping that i would not have to buy cod for it.. but thanks again. guess we have no choice but to wait...
My PS3 seems to be working now (120gb fat). I only tried to play 1 game before I read about the bug, and lost all of my trophies for Dragon Age: origins. I just played the game now and if you hit the PS home button while in game, your trophies will be at 0. Once you quit the game and look at the trophies they should sync up. I didn't loose any trophies. Just thought I'd put this out there since the news doesn't appear to have hit Sony's twitter page or these forums.
