Error code 8001050F?

[SoCal Senator]

Read some older feeds on this saying it's a network problem (can't register the trophy information--the game will quit).

Anyone else getting this?

That error code= Hardware failure!

Odd! 8001050F is the old clock-bug code, isn't it?

Make sure you've got the time set correctly... I'm not sure why you'd see that error now though. Have you restored the firmware, or does it need an update?

From the PS site:

8001050F: Playstation Network Issue
Description: The Playstation Network is down.

Probably an overload due to it is the Holiday weekend.

Err, the PSN is not down. I am signing in perfectly. Yes that error code was the ol' Clock fault, maybe yours is on the blink?

Yup, clock bug. It last struck after the leap-day in 2010. [Link]

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 one of the above listed models, 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 the new slim PS3 is not affected with this error. We are doing our best to resolve the issue and do apologise for any inconvenience caused.

For the latest status on this situation please keep an eye on this thread.

Well, looks like it's gone terminal. "3 beeps and shutoff" happens 99 percent of the time. Luckily I saved game data for 2 accounts--main is lvl 37/40. Whew!

Bought the slim 160G PS3 today, getting it up and running now with updates and hopefully upload the saved game data from flash drives.

RIP fat PS3!
