Error Code: 8001050F - PSN Issues

metroid_dragon · 2008-11-28 09:23:11

Has anyone ever had or heard of this? Perhaps even solved it? Whenever I try to connect my PS3 to the PlayStation Network, I get error code 8001050f.I still have internet access, my PS3 has an IP address, I can browse the web via the PS3. All that isn't working is the PSN. However the PSN is definitely up and running, because my roommate also has a PS3 and his PSN works fine, we even plugged mine into his connection downstairs and I still got the same problem.I've eliminated most problems I can think of with the network, I've done a hard reboot of the router, and unplugged the modem for a few minutes. Plus moving my PS3 onto the working connection downstairs should have done the trick if it was a network problem.I've reset the console default settings about a half-dozen times. (7th time's a charm?)The only thing I haven't tried is formatting, but I can't risk that because I've been in 2 gamepools and I have almost 30 Playstation Arcade games, none of which I would be able to re-download if I format (we've used all 5 consoles, and I'm pretty sure formatting assigns your PS3 a new ID)My PS3 is out of warranty as well. If I sent it in for repairs they would likely end up formatting or even give me a new PS3, bringing me back to the problem of losing all my arcade games.Does anyone have ANY suggestions, no matter how absurd, I'm about willing to try anything here. (save cooking a grilled cheese inside of it as a friend suggested)Kotaku's Story:All around the world, PlayStation 3 consoles simply aren't working like they're supposed to, with a PlayStation Network error preventing people from not just going online, but from playing some PS3 games offline as well.From Europe to the Americas to, well, my house in Australia, users are complaining that upon booting their consoles up, they're unable to sign into their accounts, check their trophies or access the PlayStation Network. That's fine, Sony say there are PSN connection problems, and that they are 'looking into it'. Problem is, the error does more than just prevent you from going online. It prevents you from playing certain games offline as well. The screen above is what I was greeted with when attempting to play Heavy Rain, and pressing out of it simply reboots the PS3, returning you to the main menu screen. It's the same story for other games that feature dynamic trophy support. Sony say 'stay tuned' for updates on the problem. In turn, we'll update if we hear anything more. While theories abound that this has something to do with the calendar, bear in mind Sony has redesigned its PlayStation website over the weekend, so it's likely the result of some tinkering under the hood for the PlayStation Network. Whichever it is, though, you have to wonder at the design process that turns a network outage into something stopping you from playing a game (in my case Heavy Rain) you own, pick up from a shelf and has no online play whatsoever.

This is just ridiculous, but people who aren't even connected to the internet having this problem kinda proves the whole 'issue with the date' theory and that it has something to do with the firmware. for the most part, everyone seems to be having the same problems.

Sit tight and chill out for a moment, it's being looked into. It's recommended that you just wait a couple of days and do something else. Stay on http://www.twitter.com/sonyplaystation for updates. I'll be watching this topic.
