Sony PS3: Update on Playstation Network problem (8001050F)

i think there hoping when the clock ticks over midnight into a new day/date the error will rectify its self and come out of the phantom date of ps3 calender know only as 29th feb 2010!

no theres nothing else I can do with my time ha i turned my ps3 on again this morning I hope that wasnt a bad idea this was before I read all the warnings. I really hope they can do something by tonight maybe cause im off tomorrow!!!

No MW2 for me today, lol.

if i loose my platinum trophys ill kill someone from sony by burying my ps3 in their forehead. ive never had any problems with my xbox on live or otherwise but plenty with my ps3 and this is the last straw

so all u have to do is not turn ur playstation on for 24hrs?

when i load my mw2 game up it says 8001050f error i dont have my ps3 online so how could this of happened and how will it just fix itself with no internet to the ps3 are they magic can some one please let me no how this could of happened

last chance sony, our clan of 20 will be switching to xbox if these probs continue, took today off work with my mates to have a gameing day how pissed off are we, not happy, hope issues can be resolved before tonight so day isnt totally wasted…

Think about it! If you don't turn your ps3 on then you can't update it. They need to release an update to resolve this problem so at some point you will have to turn your PS3 on!

i never actually heared anything about this problem,so i have been messing around with my playstation,so now i cannot play any games because it comes up i have too much stuff on and i have too clear some from the hdd,of which i cannot do.so will i be able to sort this problem out when it is sorted out.

im not tha pissed off theres a million and 1 things u could do instead ??

will e prblem deinatly be fixed for 2morow? need to get my ranks up on mw2!!!

thanks for the update alan as for what were doing were biting our nails and staring profusely at the ps3

oh shit.. back to runescape for the rest of the day.. lol

im gutted bought heavy rain today switvh my ps3 on kaboom messages sayin in cant sign in and loss of my trophies so i dont think il be playin heavy rain today

no big loss heavy rain sucks anyway lol

to hard for me lol

This would happen now that I'm getting into Heavy Rain. Oh well, back to the Xbox 360 and Mass Effect 2 until this is all sorted out.

i think this is madness the amount of money the company makes and they cant even get someone to programme properly

So no £20 gift voucher for the Playstation Store to compensate the inconvenience !? That would have been nice but I’m happy at least we are now getting info/updates from Sony. Actually managed to get things done today so not the end of the world being without my beloved PS3 today.

you're fuckin' dumb.

Given that we now know what the problem is how to Sony propose to deliver the updated code. IF this is a firmware problem as it appears to be then the system will not accept the code tomorrow because the date conflict will still exist. I doubt that there will be a fix in 24 days nevermind 24 hours

when is the update being released i bored and just bought gta iv to mess about with my mate online then i get all this shit tellin me i cant sign in cos of some stupid error and i been filming some stuff on mw2 this weekend an i havn't lost any trophies

CRITTER CRUNCH! <3 eeeeek ;D <3

Word of advise, don't try to play any games that check for trophies at startup, it will corrupt all trophies from that game and game won't start.

Hmm this is total voodoo man, all of ma ps3's have gan down, as think its dis ghost of de DEVIL XBOX CHILD, dis is big bad juju,
first is de ylod thens de blue ray player,
now i cant have de crack with ma ganga bro on de psn.. man as gawn back to ma ol lady she not as much fun as ma ganga bro but as gota do summit

more like £20 for every day, lol.

not a happy bunny! i dont give a stuff about trophies etc etc. just want to play footy and modern warfare. dont understand how sony propose to sort this out. can anyone tell me?

it sucks mate. the faceless corporation stomps on the average guy again. not saying they wanted or even could forsee the problem, but they are quick enough to take our money.

so glad my wife checked internet stuff before i smashed my ps3 to bits. (a mistake i made with my old ps2 when a disc wouldn't play, turned out it was the game!!) i owe her some flowers.

is the update available yet? whats the score?

Y R PPL SAYIN THINGS LIKE ARE U GUNA BUY A PS3 AFTER TODAY WELL OBVIOUSLY!!! THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO BE FIXED HOPEFULLY BE SORTED OUT BY TOMORROW. SOMETHING LIKE THIS HASNT HAPPENED IN A LONG TIME.

i think £20 for every hour psn doesnt work

The issue has nothing at all to do with PSN. It's an internal issue with the consoles internal clock apparently. Your getting the error because MW2 utilizes sony's trophy system which in in turn utilizes said internal clock. Thus the game implodes and says "I can't work properly," giving you the error code. And the internet works just fine. On mine I can still use the web browser just not anything that has to go through PSN. So if a firmware update is needed you'll be able to download it because system updates don't come from PSN.

go and have sex instead. thats what im doing. mw2 is better of course lol

i had my ps3 turned on all day , wasnt aware of this error untill now, as was not playing it , just listening to the tunes .
will this Be a prolem as its Been turned on ?
pisse off about no cod2 though :@

I HATE SONY!!!

I RESET MY WHOLE MACHINE!!! NOW EVERYTHING IS LOST!!!!

BAD COMMUNICATION TO CUSTOMERS!

this is pissing me off i wanted to play a little gta4 and no i cant sony is a peice of shit and if they dont fix it bye seven i will call them the fuckheads they make enough money to fix it i havent been able to play since last night i live on the ps3 im getting mad i want to play it now

when will the update be ready by!!!!!!?????

I am so glad that I bought a ps3 when it first came out. I am so glad that I went out and spent hundreds of dollars on state of the art games. But if I knew the true weakness of the ps3, aka march1 2010, then i would have gladly taken that money and shoved it up the holes of those sad excuses for technicians that cant even program a console to recognize the date 03/01/2010. But lets give those sad rats the benefit of the doubt, maybe they thought the world was ending on 02/28/2010. Maybe we aint supposed to be here. Maybe this is the afterlife where new age consoles break down at the mention of 03/01/2010. Congrats sony for making a wonderful and powerful machine, whos only weakness seems to be a date. lame

chill out..every piece of software or hardware eventually has an issue. nothing is perfect. you can update the ps3 manually using a thumb drive…an external hard drive…or even a sd card if you have a model that has a card reader. i do think it's pretty lame that there isn't a fix yet…or even a real update.

they are working now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so do I man, so do I

im freaking out, im totally freaking out

im doing a system backup while all my data is still intact

From portugal
cheers

ARE THEY WORKING OR NO?!

there working

Joe is right. there is loads of other things you could do during this sad period…
Im not that bothered. Only thing im very anoyed about is that i literally upgraded my HDD from 60gb to a 500gb a couple of hours before the PSN went down..
Didnt even know about it till after i restored my PS3 and games when lastly i installed my new Bayonetta game and it kept staying on the loading screen after the HDD check. i tried several times after that thinking it may have crashed..
Then later on i found out that i couldnt install Bayonetta due to the fact it required me to be signed into PSN? Whats happens if i didnt have internet connection? This is rather gay…..

Well this is what i hope is the Problem….. i just want to play bayonetta and Hawx

I think it would have been wise for Sony to some how post that there were problems, like say on the TV because I got home and turned my ps3 on without knowlegde of the new fault/bug. Maybe even send a message through to our ps3 or emails stating a problem and that they are working on it. Hopefully they can fix it, otherwise I may just switch to the 360, seeing that many people say it is better and they havent had this problem to my knowlegde

Maybe you should take this time to learn how to type

Technicians don't program just thought I'd let you know.

Yes LIVE was down for an entire week. It still times out just like PSN the difference is suckers pay for it.

i turned mine on and now the playstation network is not working why ?

Im pissed off PS3 is so shit might just get an Xbox carnt even log in its saying valid password thet best fix it soon and i best not lose any of my trophies or it will be getting traded in for an Xbox

ive had a couple of problems. it was stuggling to join a game with friends on line and also my headset would connect but i could not hear or talk to anyone. is this due to these errors

my ps3 wont let me do update so i cant use it any ideas
