PlayStation 3 owners may have noticed some connectivity issues with the PlayStation Network over these past few days. Sony has just issued a response to the problem that seems to only affect the "fat" PlayStation 3 systems.
A fix is expected to be rolled out within the next 24 hours. In the mean time, Sony advises users not to use their systems as it may have adverse affects such as trophies not being recorded and not being able to restore certain data.
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 play back certain rental video downloaded from the PlayStation Store before the expiration date.
