If you are still unaware of the PSN meltdown for fat PS3, then congratulations! You have a life away from your Playstation!
I'm a little aggravated because I just got new internet so I'm stuck playing Tatsunoko VS Capcom until PSN comes back on.
So anyone wanna play some TVC?
But for those who are affected,here's what Sony has to say:
Sony said it has pinpointed the problem with its PlayStation
Network that has kept some PlayStation 3 users from playing games on or
offline.
A blog posting on
the PlayStation blog said Sony officials have identified the cause as a bug in the clock
functionality incorporated into the PS3. They said it affects models
older than the newest slim PS3.
A variety of error messages and problems have cropped up including:
• 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 videos downloaded from the PlayStation Store before the expiration date.
Sony said it hopes to have the problem resolved in the next 24
hours, but is warning people with the older units not to use their
PS3s. Officials said those who try to use their consoles may have
problems with trophies and not being able to restore certain data.
Sony said there were more than 40 million users in its PlayStation
Network as of last month. There's been no word on how many have been
impacted by the error.
CNN has asked Sony representatives for updates. We’ll let you know as soon as we hear from them.
I lost all my hard earned SF4 trophies which i hope will be restored. If not, FML.
But in my opinion, i read a post a few weeks ago that a hacker finally hacked a ps3 and this might be the cause of it,
