 | PS3 Fatties Stay Off of PSN today Looks like just the PS3 Slim can't get on PSN without incurring problems and it is recommended you stay away for a little while. Here's the release:
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.

 | reply to Van said by Van:Hope? 24 hours? Better "hope" it is fixed sooner as I can't imagine how excited Microsoft is by this Microsoft shouldn't be too excited by this new. I bought my PS3 in 2007 and within the span of 3 years of owing my PS3 I've gone through 3 360s.
So if given choice of replacing my 360 just about every year to not being able to play my PS3 for 24hrs. I think I'll gladly choose my PS3.
I own and enjoy both systems so this is not to start any kind of flame... -- "I have taught you many ways to kill a man. Flesh that burns, bones that break... But to break a man's spirit... Is to truly destroy him!"

 VanPremium join:2009-07-08 New Orleans, LA | None taken. I have owned the PS3 for years before I got the 360. I enjoy the PS3 more and always have.
But I still see their PSN as half of what the 360 offers and that is a big reason that the high, HIGH majority of my friends/family pick the 360....for the ease of use and interface with the 360. |
