PSN Is Back Up!

If they don't fix it I will he more than fine with them shipping me out a brand new slim. They're going to be fucked if they can't resolve this.

They sure will. They won't know angry until 30 Golden Sombrero league owners storm Sony headquarters.

12 hours and counting

gamefaqs is calling this an "APOCALYPS3"

fml. Sony has been pretty quiet about the whole thing.

Ok, so some people think this problem will fix itself at midnight (March 2nd). Some people say that a firmware update can not fix this problem as they think the problem is with the internal clock being out of sync. If this problem does not fix itself or if a firmware can not fix it, are we just SOL?

I assume that my Gamestop warranty was only 2 or 3 years. Wish I could find my fucking receipt...

Damn was that for real....Payin 5 bucks a month now doesn't seem that bad.

Glad I didn't turn on my PS3 today...Gawdt Dayum! I'll just leave that shit off until it's all over lol.

I did...and then I found this thread. Great.

the clock....correct me if i am wrong, but cant the date and time be set manually. If that was the case we could just reset the time ourselves.

This is really odd to me. What has SONY said?

[killgod]

so last night around 7:30pm I had a game of Madden online, no problems.

turned off the PS3, got back on around 10:30.

logged into PSN, played some Dragon Age for a couple hours and went to bed, no problems.


yes I have a fat ps3.

[Twigg4075]

the clock....correct me if i am wrong, but cant the date and time be set manually. If that was the case we could just reset the time ourselves.

that doesn't fix it.....apparently it is the OS clock that is effed up. Different then the clock we can manually set.

UPDATE: It seems the issue has something to do with a hardware date reset to 12/31/99 (per my own "fat" retail and debug units) that occurred with the February 28 to March 1 turnover, even though this wasn't a leap year. I say 'hardware', because it reportedly occurs whether you've gone online with your PS3 or not.

It's not the first time the error's occurred. Run a date-filtered Google search on error code '8001050F' and you'll see it popping up time and again. Sounds like we'll either need a 24 hour cycle or a firmware update to see this fixed (and no, manually setting the correct time and date doesn't fix the issue).

UPDATE 2: Wondering whether Sony could remotely patch an issue that prevents connecting to the PlayStation Network? I assume the firmware update process works discretely, since clicking 'System Update' generates a standard "There is no need to update" message and not an error.

UPDATE 3: According to The Examiner, Sony tech support says both trophy and savegame data should be fine, and that a fix should be up 'by morning' (US time zones).

btw, people at OS with the 40, and 80 gig fat systems have confirmed that they are still able to play the show offline

Many websites are reporting that this issue can be fixed by wrapping a towel around your PS3 and...oh wait, wrong shitty system fix.
