PSN Is Back Up!

[SethMode]

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.

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 :shifty:

that info is on the PS3 blog

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 play back 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.

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

lol, and what happens if they don't? Because you know they won't do dick but issue the standard, "we're sorry for all the inconvience this issue has caused, now dry your tears and carry on people and remember to continue to spend your duckets on games because you know damn well ain't shit you can do because you already brought our machine and you will continue to buy games for it no matter how much we occassionaly fuck up, thanks"

PSN is a FREE service. They don't owe you shit.

For those that can't play offline however, they could have an argument I guess.

Not sure what Sony will do, but to hand out free PSN points is probably expecting more than what you deserve.

 

[Proof21]

They won't do anything, as long as they fix it (ASAP) everything will be OK.

I just hope any game that you saved and it now has a date of 12/31/1999 doesn't get screwed up. I will be pissed to the max if that happens.

So the Slim is safe?

I just bought a 250gb about an hour ago. I read the forums about this error since my 60gb broke Saturday but I finally found a system after calling all over Houston. I didn't want to risk not finding one this weekend since The Show is coming out tomorrow.

 

[-Ray27Rice-]

Damn, horrible timing for this to happen with MLB coming out. Is there any timetable for when it should be fixed?

 

[Proof21]

Within 24 hours they said.

they gave away fl0w for free recently, why not something else. not being able to play your console at all is a little ridiculous

 

[dave]

I'll leave my ps3 off the Net until this blows over.

That's what I was getting at.

Them having an outage of down online time shouldn't turn into a bonus for PSN users, it's a free service.

However those that can't play offline have a right to complain for something.

 

[BuccaneerFan]

LOL @ everyone expecting something free in return for a 1-day outage. What does your power company, phone company or cable company give you in return after an outage? Jack shit. That's what. We'll all survive (as long as it's fixed in time for MLB '10 The Show).
