[QUOTE="Darkitachi1989"][QUOTE="jmau0438"]Hey Moderator, How is this: "So basically, if the console can't manage trophies via PSN (which the PS3 didn't really need to begin with, but did so anyway to be as "cool" as Xbox 360 in the eyes of kiddies everywhere), a process that could be done locally on the clients machine (and backed-up with a sync process via PSN), the client doesn't get to play. A rule that is no doubt backed by the technical requirement checklist, with obvious backlashes in logic, but was enforced anyway because the PS3 needed the ego boost and any sour scenarios "could never happen". If I were an executive at Sony, I could say with absolute certainty and zero remorse, that someone is going to get fired today." Off topic. This is the founding premise of the entire situation. Read into PS3 Trophies (the area of chief concern outside of actually playing your console and one of the primary effected components in this bug) and how they came to be and you might agree. Your action tells me that you are either vary tired (which I could understand) or just don't know your industry. Did the "Xbox 360" phrase do it? Either way I was just trying to help, to which I'm an unusual advocate being as how I work in the development side of the industry. But hey man, it's your show.

Very well put

The moderator also meshed someones comment under my name, I think the moderator should have a smoke and pancake. ;)

If I remember this happened last year on Feb 28 (it's a leap year glitch!!) That's why even offline systems are doing this. I can log into my PSN online through my laptop but get the Error if i try with my Fat 60G PS3 I remember it did fix it self but i think it took till March 2nd (check the past posts , they were Feb 28 08 and then Feb 28 09)

Hi All, Just signed into the Sony Network Web Site and I can now view my Trophies.... All are showing apart from White Knight Chronicles (The game that crashed and the error started to show)... All my awards for that game where showing as 0 for each and every trophy I had gained on that one title. Just went there again to get a screen shot, and the WEB site has all changed again, and now its not letting me in again. I am not a Trophy hunter and couldn't careless about them even if I have lost them for good... What would be nice if in the New Update/fix they add an option to turn off trophies or to be able to download them offline but make them right protected so they can't be transffered between players, meaning should anything like this happen again at least you can still play your games. The new fix I also hope has a lay away system, so if the game can't connect to the PSN then you get the trophy when it can connect fine (It already has this I understand, but obviously it doesn't work right if your date and time is out due to a calendar bug...LOL). And that bring s me onto... Why don't Sony simply provide the time to PS3 owners throught their servers and auto sync the players date and time as soon as the PS3 establishes a NET connection ? One of the replies gave in the first post mentions a server error at Sony... I am not sure it would be hardware of the server, due to the issue affecting the Fat PS3 models, I would say it is more of the Bio's/Firmware on the older machines, if there was any damage done to their servers it would be due to user accounts becoming currupt and perhaps the loss of data on the Games the PS3 locked up on or gave the message upon. I wouldn't try any other games until this issue is righted or you could be making things worst for your selves. When you earn a Trophy it logs the time and date, so if the time and date reset to an earlier time just as the leap year kicked in world over this may have caused what we are seeing now, I mean if I got my last trophy say on the 27th Feb and then my next on the 1st Feb, that would look very odd to any server, it would look like I am trying to cheat the system perhaps (Varifcation issue I would say). By the way... I have mentioned in my last Messages that you can still browse the NET on your PS3 and watch YouTube etc... A few News reports and Tech sites state Internet connection is down all-together... Also to re-cap, don't bother re-formating your machines, that does fix nothing, as soon as you recreate your PSN Sign in the error returns. I just hope that once this is resolved I can regain all my Sing Star downloaded songs, other games I have paid for including War Hawk... Heck I think Sony as a good jesture could at least allow free downloading of all their content, IE Little Big Planet addons, PS Home material and other Sony Made games (A 7 day free for all that had this issue, I mean after all we did pay the highest price for our machines in the first place and have been their longest standing customers). Or if not that... A nice big we are so sorry, its all our fault sort of message... But I doubt we will get either. Steve PSN ID:- landofshadows (When things are back up and good feel free to add me)

Wow this is crazy, i turned on my PS 3 at around 12:30 AM Eastern and wasnt able to sign in. I wasnt actually in the mood to play anything so i watched a dvd and good thing i did because i had no ide a this was going on. This is inexcusable, there needs to be some serious work done by Sony to prevent this from ever happening again. Keep us all up to date guys, ty.

Pdxmotoxer, If this has as you have said happend each year around the same time (Leap year) I have managed to dodge it so far... I think next year I will boycott playing for the last 2 days of Feb and perhaps the first 2 days of March just not to get hit again. All, Something I noticed, even when I re-formatted my PS3... it kept all the updates, I didn't have to reinstall them. Something else that's odd, if you go to Life (The thing with the globe that uses your NET connection to help the planet or something) and you have for sometime, it still downloads and installs all the updates etc... And lets you still connect and so on, so while this error is occuring you can do something good and use your PS3 to save the planet... Heck perhaps we should all do it...!!! I am... :) Steve

All, Just went and had a another look at my setup, and found the time and date was still wrong... So rather than manually setting it, I tried to update from the Internet, and got the same message failed to connect 8001050F message. I wonder if rather than it being software IE Firmware/Bios... if it could be a chip on the motherboard on the older models ? It would help, rather than all this guessing, if Sony just gave a reason and added something new on Twitter... I mean half the world are awake now and looking for answers. Steve

I usually play my games offline. I just logged unto my ps3 offline and I got that bug that says its 12/31/99. I have a 60gb ps3 btw. It doesn't matter if you log on your ps3 online or offline you will still get that bug. Might have to with the latest patch.

Hope they fix this soon.

Is anyone worried that the reason they are taking so long to tell us what is going on is because there is no firmware fix or waiting it out till tomorrow. Maybe they are keeping quiet because they need to fix every PS3 individually and if that is the case it would cost them thousands of dollars.

DO NOT FORMAT YOUR PS3's!

Yes, even with this 8001050F error occuring , my playstation Home app updated. BUT after the update installs itself the 8001050F error is still prevalent and wont let you walk around imagination land.

The error is a firmware issue, restoring factory settings won't fix it. All of the PS3 fatties are were defective the day they were put in your box.

This isn't an error you 'downloaded'.

People need to stop handing out mis-information.

I advise everyone to not listen to anyone other than Sony themselves when it comes to the solution to the problem.

One of my friends lost all of his data after formatting his PS3, because someone on a forum said it would work.

Well my PS3 has been on and logged in for around 3 days now but I still have problems.

My date is ok, 1/3/2010, time is ok, I'm still signed in, but I cant play anything and my trophies will disapear if I play a game that supports them.
I can still chat and send messages.

You might be scared to turn yours on, I'm scared to turn mine off. =P

Even though I've encountered this bug is it wise to make copies of my game saves? Just as a precaution. Kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

Hereaticpoo, I am finding more answers on YouTube than on PS3's Web site or twitter page:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWRzJjfVxr0 I re-formatted my machine due to going to the Playstation Network Web site and reading this (I would give the URL but its over 80 Char's long and wont post here):-

"If you receive an 800 series error code on the PLAYSTATION 3 system, we recommend performing the following steps which may correct the problem. Install the Latest System Software Update To check what version of the System Software is currently installed on your PLAYSTATION 3, from the PS3 Home Menu go to Settings > [System Settings] > [System Information]. The system will display the System Software version number. You can check online to make sure you have the latest version installed. Restore Default Settings From the PS3 Home Menu, go to Settings > [System Settings] > [Restore Default Settings]. Once you select Restore Default Settings, you will see a list of settings that will be restored. Scroll through them and press the X button to restore the settings. After the operation is complete, you will see the initial set-up screen that appeared the first time you turned on the PLAYSTATION 3 system. You will need to go through the initial set-up process before you can use the PLAYSTATION 3 system. If this does not resolve this error, please contact us."

And I concure... ITS BAD ADVICE... DON'T DO IT !!!! LoS

Question for you then sir. Do you get the 8001050F error too? Or can you still play offline games? It's understandable the clock thing goes awry offline, but hopefully the trophy error doesn't develop offline either.

i also tried to backdate my version update to ver.3.10 to see if that might fix it. i made a PS3 file on a flash drive, in that i made an UPDATE file, and in there i DL'd the .PUP file for 3.10. it said that it couldn't find a recognizable file..... :/ after thinking about it, this was even stupid to try cause ppl have tried to reset there phatties to defaults and still no response. the one thig i found was that a couple of games w/ no copyright protection played fine. i still say that the slims have a new authentication chip.

PS3 staff has told that ps3 system will be up at March 2nd. The only thing that we can hope is that the only thing we lost was a couple of playing days, and nothing mroe. And i really hope they come with a reasonable explenation. Its no conspiracy from Bill Gates or what not, and if it is. The Japs in the east will probably fix it easily. If ps3 network system is overtaken, sony will make a new one and reboot ps3 server. Guys, relax, theese guys have a serious problem, and the only thing we can do is to let them do their job, instead of spamming them with messaes(they all say the same: Ive got a fat-ass ps3 and it wont work, becasuse of blah..blah.

Well this is just perfect! I thought something was wrong with my file for Heavy Rain like it had corrupted data. I deleted everything on Heavy Rain and was willing to start over (5 hours GONE, than you very much!) and now I have to start over. I thought if I tried to play a different game (Dragon Age) then it wouldn't be a problem. Nope! Trophy data just up and disappeared. So does that mean I'm screwed with 2 games now?

I haven't been able to play my PS3 online for about a month so it's not something with PSN. If the problem doesn't correct itself and my system is bricked, I'm finished with this crap.

What is it with this generation of games?! Red Rings of Death, Leap Year Glitches.... I never had this problem with my PS2 on down to the original Atari. I am really freaking pissed off about all this crap!

8001050FnP, Most people on here are giving some good advice, and telling people to sit tight, that has been my message from the off. There is some dis-info out there, and some is on Tech sites and news sites, saying you can't connect to the Net at all, but you can still browse the WEB from the PS3 and sign into Life (The world saving screen saver type thing)... You can still download from the NET stream media etc... Watch BBC I-Player in the UK.... There also some BAD advice on the the support page at Sony, IE see my last post, Article titled:- What do I do if I get an 800 series error code on my PLAYSTATION 3 system? There are a few people on here running about like headless chickens, but what do you expect when they have reached such a high standing on games like COD... Or those people who do enjoying Trophy hunting and have invested lots of their tme... I am slighly ticked off, I booked this week off work to buy and play White Knight...Sad I know... And this happens... I am now reduced to sitting and watch Friends as day time TV sucks... The only thing that does help is trying to keep up with the progress by reading and posting here and helping as much as I can do. LoS

That is a good question. Only tried with Uncharted 2 and it worked (yay me). Will try with my other games later.

Likely won't happen, but if it did that would suck. No incentive to buy a ps3 slim since it can't play ps2 games.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned, but I'm fairly sure the trophy data is only lost on the individual console, not on PSN servers. A friend of mine still has his PS3 up and running and confirmed that my Fifa 10 trophies (which I believed were lost) were still on my online profile. So I believe once this problem is fixed and trophy data is synced, everyone should get their trophies back.

I hope.

one_zoro, Loom at the first post on this topic, all that info is here also. Shamblia, I grew up on the old Atrari 2600 Wallnut finish... I know what your saying... The PS2 never had this issue, but then again it didn't try and communicate and relay Trophy info with a server every so often. But even still this shouldn't be happening, the whole 2K bug threats should have made people in the industry more savey on this sort of glitch and this situation should have never occured in my opinion. All, With the above in mind, I really hope Sony offer more than a shrug of the shoulders and a belated fix, and offer something more for those users who have suffered this problem... I don't want to moan or bring people down, but still even on the Offical Sony Site there is no mention of this error, and people are still coming here for answers, it just shows Sony's own forum to be Naff, and their standards of updating the site to be lackadaisical at best. People are still formatting their machines... or trying other methods to try and fix this issue, when there is NOTHING we can do apart from wait. What is Annoying me is the FACT that Sony hasn't placed up on their front page something about this to help assist those who need answers to this issue, or even pushed out a message online to users getting this message or an EMail to affected users, after all they have our EMails when we created our PSN ID... NOT GOOD ENOUGH SONY !!! LoS

Is anyone worried that the reason they are taking so long to tell us what is going on is because there is no firmware fix or waiting it out till tomorrow. Maybe they are keeping quiet because they need to fix every PS3 individually and if that is the case it would cost them thousands of dollars.kewlguitarist

You might want to rethink that estimation. Physically repairing every "Phat" PS3 model would cost millions of dollars in the end... regardless of the simplicity of the fix. Somehow they are going to have to resolve this with either a firmware patch or they're going to have to send out usb drives or CDs, with software, to each and every owner of a "phat" PS3 that needs the fix. Even that is going to be extremely costly.

The other possibility is that this could all just blow over after a day or so... but somehow I kinda doubt it will. Sony has a real problem on their hands. Good luck to them, because they are going to need it. If I didn't already have a 360 I'd be thinking what a lot of other people probably already are, "I'm about to get a friggin' 360 man," lol.

I think this is just another way for them to get us to buy the PS3 slim and make more money, it wouldn't suprise me one bit if they didn't release this bug! i am so ***** right now! ... I think they will end up fixing this but they will drag it on so we get soo frustrated and buy the slim.

Darn it! I went to sleep at like 11 just so today could come quicker and my PS3 would be fixed. It's 6:38 and they didn't even update their damn Twitter! They could at least make it look like progress is being made.

I think worst case, i will just buy a slim and swap my HDD. But i hope they fix it. I have taken very good care of my PS3. It has never had any issue until now and i agree with something someone mentioned earlier. This should not have been an issue after the Y2k fears. Some dumb ass dropped the ball on this and if they are from Japan, guareented they are about to commit honorable suicided :P

Good luck with that. I'll just buy a "NEW" 80gb PS3 model and NEVER plug it into an ethernet cable. I hate the Slim models. I prefer the external features of the regular PS3 consoles, not to mention the backwards compatibility. By the way, some people will get so frustrated that they will simply jump ship and buy a 360. The reverse happened when Xbox Live crashed for an entire month in late December 2007.
