PSN Is Back Up!

[JayDizzle]

LOL @ these "PS3 Slim FTW" guys. If you own a Slim you most likely went years before buying a PS3. Your life was full of so much fail up until recently.

I owned/still own a PS2...

Complicated? Not really. You'd just open it up, take off the battery, count to 10 and put it back together.

Might as well just trade it in now, let me spoil what you're missing. You'd continue to get 2.0 YPC with the occasional 80yd TD run to the outside, get frustrated and throw the ball only to have a few pick six's a game ruin your season. After going 2-10 through 13 weeks you'd sim the rest to the offseason but your 3rd overall draft pick WR would not let you click on his name to sign, only to sign with the Ravens under a 6 year deal and you get dick.

At this point you snap the disc in half and get no rebate.


I think this error just saved you some money.

LOL.

its probably based off of GMT

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 apologize for any inconvenience caused.
For the latest status on this situation please check either the PlayStation blog (blog.us.playstation.com) or PlayStation.com.

New update on Kotaku says Sony hopes to have it fixed within 24 hours, and fat PS3 owners should stay off of their systems until then.

EDIT: Misogi beat me to it.

Thank god I have my 360. Otherwise I'd be going crazy.

[CrimsonGhost56]

sony better be hooking something up for those affected by this. maybe a free downloadable game or two, or vouchers for PSN points or something.

I don't think getting on it will actually have any affect. Sounds more like the issue could be once (if?) they fix this save data or trophy shit might be corrupted.

Still, I wouldn't risk it.

[Sean]

well they said it would probably be fixed by tonight, so no problem getting on for a few hrs

You might not lose your connection to XBOX Live, but an enemy hind might get you. Some would say that is much worse.
