Psn Is Down

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Hi all,

I just wanted to post this here to get it noticed by the gamers here on TOC.

This is specifically for the PS3 players, more specifically those who own a pre-Slim PS3 (bread-bin) like me. When you try to log in you will get the error code: 8001050F and others such as "cannot sync trophies, please exit game" and "trophies are not available in this game session".

Within 9 hours, around 800,000 PS3 owners had their HDD wiped of all game data, leaving it irretrievable, myself included. However I backed up all of my data previously onto my PC so I am fine.

The fault is thought to be an internal clock "bug" which results in the PSN and PS3 network not getting on well with the idea of leap-years. It will be rsolved within the next 24 hours when the clock rolls over.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOG INTO PSN OR YOU RISK A WIPED HDD!!!

I advise that you all back up your files now, and keep them on a flash drive until you are sure your PS3 is unaffected by this.

I would fight back but the PS3 doesn't exactly have a strong leg to stand on in this thread....

PSN is for cheap scate people who touch themselves at night!

That is all!

That funny bug ten years late, you gotta laugh, especially if like me you don't own a ps3.

And you think touching yourself is a bad thing!? I'd be more than happy to tell you otherwise.... :P

Can't knock it until you try it. ;)
