Edit: We're Back online!! --- Original post: i just downloaded an update and now i cant sign in to the ps network comphermc edit: It seems that there are some crazy issues going on with PSN. There are a few sites that have been flooded with people having the same problem.

Resetting your PS3 and/or game data will not fix the issue.

Error 8001050F? I too just started recieving it... anyone know how to resolve?

yeah that one i checked the support in the playstation network it says that ill need to send it in

2010-03-01 00:04:00 Author: mat1629 Posts: 55

When did the update come out? Because i hvent recieved any updates.

i dunno i just signed in today havent been on LBP in a while

Odd that we'd both get it at the same time... but I sign in every day. I haven't patched in a while. the last thing i downloaded was that tiny LBP patch last wednesday. Why would it stop working now? From what I've been able to dig up, It's got something to do with corrupted data on the harddrive. If you wipe your hard drive and go back to 1.0, you may be able to avoid having to send it in... that's what I'm trying now.

We're getting that error on anything we try to do within the PSN. I can't see any of my friends, and when we restart or switch user profiles, we get the same error - Signed out of the Playstation Network. Also getting copyright/license error when we try to connect to any on-line type games (ie: Fat Princess, etc.). EDIT: We have been on LBP all day. Just quit out for a while to do some much needed housework after watching USA lose to Canada . But yeah... it appears to be a server-side issue, (with Sony, not Mm) in my educated opinion.

im not having any problems..but i dont feel like clearing my hard drive AGAIN from lbp cuz i did that to fix the saving glitch

2010-03-01 00:13:00 Author: Unknown User

Well at least it's good to know that we're all in the same boat... maybe it's only the north american servers? I guess i better hold off on wiping my hard drive...

2010-03-01 00:19:00 Author: Duffluc Posts: 402

so its just a sit and wait for now? if it comes back for any of you post it up and whatever you did to get it up.

2010-03-01 00:22:00 Author: mat1629 Posts: 55

yeah Im getting the same error I think its the PSN that is the problem. When I got onto the playstation forums there were loads of people with the same problem.

I am facing the same problems to connect, and also, all my DLC stuff can't be acessed...

yeah me too i started freaking out when my costume was stripped of the dlc used and said i needed to purchase them all again i think'll wait it out if any one gets it to work tell the rest if us

Hehe I thought my account might have gotten frozen for some reason... I was freaked out for a sec there.

I just tried logging onto LBP. It seems that there are some crazy issues going on with PSN. There are a few sites that have been flooded with people having the same problem. Here (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100228160234AASdL0S) and here (http://forums.n4g.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=792732&mpage=1#792732) and there is "official" word on it here: PSN Down [...] (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/28/psn-is-down-some-titles-experiencing-game-crashing-errors/) Anybody else having this problem? For me, I cannot access any of my DLC. I'm not sure why that's a PSN issue, since I should be able to use it when not online. I'm so mad, but at the same time so happy that I'm not the only one. , ,

Ugh, sorry man :eek:, , I'm playing AVP and I'm not having any problems. If I turn off my PS3 will I be safe?

Update... it seems that Sony may have faffed up the leap year, thereby resetting many of the old, fat ps3 models back to 12/31/1999. This means only one thing. Y2k is real! (follow those links above for the source on that... not too reliable, though) --- I don't know. Some people are still connected, and I was not too long ago, but I just tried again about 20 minutes ago, and the problem started. Boo!

What's wierd is the DLC thing... Was it only the LBP DLC that was blocked to you? I really don't understand how this can happen. (Totally can happen on Xbox 360 because some updates aren't stored locally). It's just that on PS3 everything is supposed to be downloaded and saved on your hard drive (part of the reason it always take more time to download and install on PS3) .

I just hope it wont make me delete my save data... Another funny fact is that the data on my PS3 went back to December, day 31 with year being 1999.

2010-03-01 00:57:00 Author: AlvaroShiokawa Posts: 126

I don't have any other DLC than LBP, so I don't know... actually, I have a PSN game... I'll check.

2010-03-01 00:57:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

I think it is an authentication issue. I can't login either and get the same error. April is logged on and she is working fine. Not sure about DLC unless they possibly authenticate that as well, though I know I have used it offline before. Weird!

2010-03-01 01:00:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383

All I did was log onto LBP and back up my profile, since I can't connect to PSN, and 5 of my themes went corrupt. What should I do?

2010-03-01 01:02:00 Author: KlawwTheClown Posts: 1106

What themes? PS3? Might be similar to the DLC issue.

2010-03-01 01:05:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383

---

Yeah, just checked out Flow... it's working just fine. Apparently there are just some issues with certain DLC, trophies, and themes. If your themes broke, it's because of the issue. JWW, does April have a slim PS3 up and running? What model is everyone experiencing problems with? I have a 60 GB, not from launch, but close.

2010-03-01 01:10:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

---

Nope.. an old 80gb just like mine. She is out there playing fine in LBP. She was on prior to the issue. That is why I suspect authentication of sorts like maybe their LDAP servers are messed up. ** be wary of Flow! I will put you to sleeeeeep!! zzzzZZzzzzzz

2010-03-01 01:13:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383

Dang, I better just not play on my PS3 for a couple days. (No idea if mine will get this or not, I got mine new 9/08)

Mine is the fat 80 GB PS3, North American model if I am not wrong, MGS4 Bundle.

2010-03-01 01:13:00 Author: AlvaroShiokawa Posts: 126

---

I'm wondering if when April turns off the PS3, if it will get the problem when you turn it back on...?

2010-03-01 01:15:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

---

Yup.. because then it would need authentication into the network again.

So, note to everyone with an old PS3 - unplug your ethernet, disable your wireless... just to be safe!

2010-03-01 01:18:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

---

D: Yep. So... wait, displug ethernet/ wireless? Is that for all Phats or just 60 gigs or what? And why? I'm scared D:

So, note to everyone with an old PS3 - unplug your ethernet, disable your wireless... just to be safe! He he, I did this now... But you see, it is sad to think that before this problem happened we could access ALL of our ps3 dlc (LBP or not) offline ADN online, and now we can't... Evil DLC corruption might have invaded our ps3 secretly through the wireless or ethernet cable while the ps3 was offline ha ha ha.

2010-03-01 01:24:00 Author: AlvaroShiokawa Posts: 126

---

Yeah - I've got a phat old 80gb that's suffering the same thing. From the forums I'm seeing, it's worldwide and has been going on since 4:30 EST. BTW - To any mods listening... there's another thread started earlier on this same subject: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=23313-connecting-online#post403246 Perhaps a merge is in order?

Whatever the problem, though, Sony will fix it? Right? Right!? Panic!

2010-03-01 01:27:00 Author: Incinerator22 Posts: 3251

Whew.... thank GOODNESS my old 60GB died and I had to replace it with a new PS3 slim.....

Nice catch, V0rtex. Threads merged. Cue confusion on the first page...

2010-03-01 01:29:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

Mine is a 40GB. I think from around the same time as the MGS 80GB one came out... So I'll disable wireless right now... I hope SONY fixes it by tomorrow...

2010-03-01 01:30:00 Author: KlawwTheClown Posts: 1106

Really? So this is only happening to the phats? Anyone sensing their conspiracy theory hairs tingling? Can you say, "planned obsolescence"?

I think I have a newer PS3. The only thing majorly related I know about it is that it can't play PS2 games. Is there a way I can check what model it is? I suck with technology.

2010-03-01 01:31:00 Author: Incinerator22 Posts: 3251

Earlier today I was playing my PS3 as usual now tonight I get on my PS3 and I see a PSN error. I realize NONE of my Dynamic themes work. I can't play ANY games because a registration error keeps popping up. The date is set to 12/31/1999. The PS forums are down and the main website has a new layout. EDIT: Oh come ON comphermc , you beat me to it!

2010-03-01 01:33:00 Author: FreeFlyzz Posts: 265

Hmm. I have 2 phats, one old (and broken so i can't play disk based games) and one newer(drakes fortune bundle, iirc). I haven't got the old one plugged in but the new one works just fine it seems. just logged into the network and into lbp, all costumes and dlc work. so is it just some idiosyncrasy of the older ones?

Excerpt from one of the posts here: boardsus.playstation.com (http://boardsus.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Network/8001050F-Error-message/m-p/45310228#M529785) Just got off the phone with a "supervisor" about ten minutes ago. Someone hacked the servers and installed a trojan horse that was attached to the 3.15 system update. Whoever did it apparently set it so the trojan did not execute until sometime today. That is why stuff like mine is corrupted with themes, etc. May also be why the clock is set back to 1999. Not sure of the reliability of the source, but if this is true it does not bode well for our systems, or that a solution will be forthcoming anytime soon. And yes, it does appear to only be on the older, phat consoles. I am stricken with woe. DOOM! GLOOM!

I just went on the PS Store on my PSP, and I still have all my DLC 'owned'. I suggest everyone try this, if they can, seeing as some people apparently "Don't own" the DLC they payed for. All 137 downloads are there for me.

2010-03-01 01:46:00 Author: KlawwTheClown Posts: 1106

@v0rtex - mrSC makes a fine point (in our chat) that Sony would never come out and say that. It's just not protocol.

Yea, saying "We let some random hobo run naked into the vaults" isn't something you'd hear from a bank, and the PSN is their coffers, so I'd have to agree.

I think I have a newer PS3. The only thing majorly related I know about it is that it can't play PS2 games. Is there a way I can check what model it is? I suck with technology. Well does it look like this http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2727/4396260659_c88a31ab07_o.jpg or like this? http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/4396268265_3d4e3be70e_o.jpg The latter is the new PS3 model. And holy balls, I was freaking out, my brother and I were about to play Heavy Rain and I kept getting the error message. After some research, I was sure my PS3's hardrive was done for!

2010-03-01 01:52:00 Author: FULLGORR Posts: 245

It appears that even if you disconnect your ethernet (or wireless) before turning it on, you will have the same problem. Anyone willing to confirm that, who hasn't tried signing on yet? Edit: @ Fullgor - I was freaking out too. If I lost everything, I didn't know if I'd be able to start over... what with two nearly completed levels just out of reach at the moment... :/

2010-03-01 01:53:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

@v0rtex - mrSC makes a fine point (in our chat) that Sony would never come out and say that. It's just not protocol. Yeah - I hope you're right. I've worked in/with help-line support in the tech field though... and what's protocol, and what's actually spoken (either out of haste, or indifference, or malice) can sometimes be quite another. It does seem odd that DLC and other non-network-dependent titles are getting hit.

2010-03-01 01:54:00 Author: v0rtex Posts: 1878

(Not very relative, but) I think your post should be first in the new merged thead comph, it's much more explanatory. And fullgorr, mine's a ps3, not a ps3 slim, but there's still different versions of one.

I cannot connect either - and yes, I have tried resetting my settings as per your instructions, Comph, but nothing happened for me. I was reading another forum thread before this and it stated that similar events occured on February 28, 2009 and November 28, 2008. Of course, there were no Trophies back then - which is what the whole issue seems to be about - so very few people were affected. I really do hope that this issue gets resolved as quickly as possible. I'm almost done with level 12!

2010-03-01 02:16:00 Author: mat1629 Posts: 55

Haha, thanks. So, how long before we start going mental over LBP withdrawals. It's been... *glances at the time* ... 2 hours since it happened, and I'm already getting all fidgety. I can't believe the problem persists even if you disconnect from the network. It blows my mind that they could mess that up. so this is cuz of littlebigplanet r what im still kinda lost No, it's a worldwide Playstation Network issue that seems to only be affecting the older PS3 models. I'm going to be super-upset if I end up having to buy a new PS3 after all is said and done.

2010-03-01 02:18:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

---

Wow, is a relief to see that its a widespread problem and not just me. I am sorta upset because i couldnt play lbp online to go checkout a level, or sign in just like everyone else. But then i come to find that i magically dont own my dlc so it wont even let me edit my levels EDIT- I own an 80 gig big one by the way.

so this is cuz of littlebigplanet r what im still kinda lost Mwahahaa. The Sackpeople have revolted against us! Live in FEAR of their TINY WRATH! ....uhm. no. its a psn issue and only seems limited to Phat systems - PRE-SLIM launch -

so i heard that some one hacked the servers is this true? what caused this and has sony released an apology or anything better than "we will look into it"?

2010-03-01 02:23:00 Author: mat1629 Posts: 55

I wonder the crash were to last an extended time what would happen to the levels that were published recently? Worst possible time to publish lol your 7 days are ticking and no one is playing. I guess they will have to delete and republish.

Does anyone else feel like there is a void? A void that cannot be filled with TV or going outside? I feel it. It's in my heart. Animal Planet is a very poor consolation prize.

lbp psp works fine on the psp go. I havent tried it on my old psp though... lemme see just for certain... edit: Yep, the thing works on my older psp slim.

Oh God... I'm already having problems with my PS3, I don't want to have problems with my PSN too... Anyway, I didn't turned on my PS3 today and I will not..! Just hope they fix that very quick, and that it will not affect our PSN profil, our store downloads list or other things...

Sigh.. I thought the problem might have been fixed by now. Hopefully they get the problem fixed sooner rather than later. Oh well.. Back to Heavy Rain with me! EDIT: Aaaand Heavy Rain doesn't work. o.o Wow, that thing doesn't even go online... Back to Dragon Age with me...

http://us.playstation.com/PS3/dearplaystation/ This is spooky. It's either two things: An employee within Sony who's fed up with the lack of said programs, or; A hacker who wants the programs accessible on the PS3.

I highly doubt we will get anything from experiencing a little down time... Come to think of it this is the first time I've ever seen the PSN down. As long as they're able to fix the issue I'll be happy.

Lol! Your link gave me this: Yeah, that was the point. It must have been done internally, as it's a subpage on the official site. Kind of funny actually.

I just know alex is going to come over and say "this kind of thing would never happen with xbox". Sony messed up big-time. It's an interesting thought though, if they'll give us any reformations.

Oh dear, I'm scared to start up my PS3 now! D: I just quit playing LBP to watch a movie about 3 hours ago...The movie sucked and now I wanna play LBP! I have stuff to record! *foam*

LBP froze on me when I tried to play it during this mess earlier. I really hope I didn't lose any important data or stuff.

I'm certain this has to do with the PS3's internal clock. I've heard that many people who have never even had their PS3 hooked up online are having the same issue. This doen't look good. :/

Ahhhh man! Can't connect with mine either. I have an 80 gig Motorstorm bundle edition. Here's an interesting note - Netflix "Watch It Now" will not work! It simply won't connect (and my internet is fine). I didn't know Nextflix used the PSN? Also, another interesting note, I was able to finish downloading episode 2 of The Tester while my playstation wouldn't connect to the PSN! Wasn't it downloading the Tester from the PSN?! Tell me how that makes sense.... I did do a network connection test, and everything was fine except for the PSN. I have to say that if this is a 'world wide' problem that can't be fixed, I highly doubt Sony would/could force us to buy new PS3's.

Hey, all. I have a rather interesting experience to the problem, as I have a 60gb PS3 AND I was already signed into PSN when the problem originally occurred. I was able to continue playing and use the PSN, and I had several friends online at the time as well. But, I decided to turn off the ps3, and in response to the problem shared by my friends and others around the world, I created a video shown HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT6e_jCDKA0) with respect to the error. If others have expressed a similar experience as I have with this error, please respond either here or comment on the video, as I'm curious if those with older PS3 models that were already signed in were suddenly logged out of PSN (or if they were able to play as I was).

2010-03-01 04:04:00 Author: obsoleteXeo Posts: 134

Well, we can confirm that even if it was working earlier on older models, it won't work the next time you boot up. As evidence, mrsupercomputer was on just fine, but then turned it off. Upon booting up again, it didn't work. So, in conclusion, if you have an older model, you cannot play LBP if you intend to use any DLC. Can't go online for any game, and some games don't even work offline (Heavy Rain). Not much else is known, except that it's internal, and I really don't know how Sony will be able to fix this, since it seems to be a problem with the clock on older PS3's, and not even the network itself.

Ya, I'm curious how they will fix it as well, especially since I'm going into computer science next year. I'm also curious as to what started the problem. I've heard several rumors. Some say it originated from an unscheduled maintenance, and others say it was part of a planned update. I'm not sure I believe either, but I do hope they resolve the issue soon. Hmm, I wonder if I left my PS3 on.....if it would continue to perform properly on psn. I guess I won't know now. Haha.

2010-03-01 04:09:00 Author: obsoleteXeo Posts: 134

They might be able to patch the problem by releasing a downloadable file which you can transfer to your PS3, and then install (since we can't downland on the ps3 itself). I doubt that there's no solution to this problem!

# PSN status update: We're narrowing down the issue and continue to work to restore service to all. Updates as soon as we have them. 26 minutes ago via web # PSN status update (part 2): Readers/followers are confirming that "slim" units (120/250 GB models) are connecting normally. 24 minutes ago via web Wow.. it's been down for hours and this is the best, most recent info (http://twitter.com/sonyplaystation)they've come up with? lol check out their 'followers' on twitter.. it's going up a few numbers every second

Darn PSN! I had to pick the perfect day to end my competition for Insectoids. Same problems here: Clock was off by 4 hours, LBP DLC didn't work, Themes I bought were corrupted. I got a 80g PS3 MGS bundle, North America. Hope that helps narrow down the problem.

All my data is fine though. It's really funny logging into LBP offline, though. When I popped in, my Sackboy was missing his Monkey King torso get-up and Kratos beard, even though the picture appears correctly in my Game Data thing when I look at it. It's also interesting to try creating without all of that DLC. I was only able to enter Edit Mode with one of my levels. You can still mess around with Water, though. Weird.

Well, in terms of addressing the problem, I think they are doing a decent job, as something like this needs many outlooks in order to solve the problem. However, I do agree that maybe they could provide more info, but it's probably community support that is updating via twitter, and that is a separate department from the people fixing the problem.

I also tried playing Heavy Rain just now and can't even load it up. That is seriously messed up to me.

That's very unfortunate for those who just purchased Heavy Rain. I've felt similar disappoint with the release day of SOCOM, but this may be more crucial since it's worldwide and large-scale.

Arg can't even edit my most recent level due to it containing things that are part of DLC. I get the message saying I need to buy all the DLC before I can edit the level. So no more LBP tonight for me. BS. At first glance this looks to be a firmware bug that affects only older models... don't you think?

Potentially, but the problem occurs when users login to the psn, so I can't be certain that it's a firmware issue. Also, calendar dates reset to a day in 1999, supposedly the day that computers reset to involving y2k...so I'm not sure why that occurs along with loss of trophies and DLC. Very peculiar. I can understand server issues, but trophies disappearing seems rather odd.

So the consensus is its only the older PS3 i.e. 40g, 60g, and 80g right? Also its happening on a worldwide scale, man that blows. Yeah my LBP trophies disappeared as well and I just barely had 100% I guess I'll pull out the old PS1 for now. (blows the dust off) Haha still works like a charm. Man I love this thing!

I have a launch 60GB... and my trophy information is intact. I simply get the cannot connect to PSN error, and found my system date reverted to 1999. Also puzzling is why my LBP DLC is not recognized given that it's stored on the drive and not across the network. *shrug*

Well I got that info from NeoGAF, Leap Year somehow messed up with the PS3's Internal clock, it has nothing to do with PSN. The clocks have been reversed by 10 years, they say the best thing to do is wait 24 hours for the "bugged" day to pass. Your game saves and all that should be safe, aswell as the tophies you synced, it's unknown whether or not unsynced trophies with appear after all this is done.

. Also puzzling is why my LBP DLC is not recognized given that it's stored on the drive and not across the network. I popped into a level that had Water in it - as I've said before in the thread. Oddly enough, water is the only DLC object that works in the PS3's current state.

Well that doesn't make sense, given that 2010 is not a leap year. My PS3 functioned fine in 2008 during the leap year then, and functioned normally in 2009 when there was no leap year.... As well, technically the leap day wouldn't occur until tomorrow, so I'm skeptical that 24 hours will make any difference unless it comes with a fix from Sony.

Side note: I made a backup of my profile yesterday. The date on it? 12/31/1999. Lol. It went back and retroactively changed dates? Weird. *twitch* As well, technically the leap day wouldn't occur until tomorrow, so I'm skeptical. GMT... Makes sense because it happened right when GMT rolled over to the 29th. Besides, I only have 3 minutes before it's 'tomorrow' here.

Algorithms, my friend. I learned this from /v/ as well: The PS3 has been out since 2006. Sony must've programmed an algorithm to deal with leap years - specifically, 2008. What the problem may be is that the machine is programmed to consider even years leap years even though they're not. Woah, freaky, there's only 3 people online on my friends list out of 60 or 70. How did you get online? ...you have a Slim, don't you?!

2010-03-01 05:06:00 Author: SLS10 Posts: 1129

Well here it is, and it might not be wise to turn on your fat PS3s... Everyone READ THIS PLEASE. Here's what's going on right now: something with the PS3's internal clock has borked in some pre-slim models. This is not a PSN issue; it has to do with your PS3's clock. This clock is NOT related to the OS clock. It seems to be a leap year bug. Setting your clock ahead will do nothing. All PS3s around the world were affected at the exact same time. Does this affect me? -If you have a Slim PS3, you're good to go. Continue playing it as normal. -If you have a "fat" PS3, you may be affected. Some fat PS3s have worked ok, but it seems a good majority have been bugged. What does this bug mean? -If affected, your date and time has been set to a random past date. This prevents you from signing into PSN, playing any PSN games, or using any DLC. Your trophies will also not display correctly or be able to sync. How do I fix it? -You can't. Even if you don't sign into PSN, it won't help. This is a hardware issue. So, what do I do? -Wait 24 hours. Other products that have had similar bugs have corrected themselves after the "bugged" day. On Monday around 6pm central time, all PS3s will automatically correct themselves...maybe. -If that doesn't work, we'll need a firmware update from Sony, which should be a pretty important priority for them right now. Did I lose my data/themes/etc? Your save data/games/dlc/themes are fine. They'll be fixed when the PS3 is fixed. Trophies are uncertain right now, but they'll be fine if you've synced them before the PS3 was bugged. Unsynced trophies are an unknown right now. If I have a bugged PS3, can I still use it? It's probably not a good idea, as I have no idea what will happen to the trophies you earn during the bugged time. Movies/media will work fine. So there ya go, my handy FAQ. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=20030745#post20030745

If you look at your trophy list, at first glance it appears fine, but look again... I popped in a couple of games to see if they worked, and each one I launched the trophy list disappeared for. For example, since i launched LPB, the LBP Trophies under "my trophies" are gone. same with Ratchet and clank, and a couple of other games... The trophies for games that I haven't played since the bug are fine. Just a heads up to any of you who have trophies that aren't synced. I'm sure if the trophies are synced you can't lose them but if they aren't they may not come back if they disappear off the list...

This whole DLC thing has me confused now.... Let's say that 10 years from now, I want to play some of my old games for a bit of nostalgia and they have disabled the Playstation Store for PS3. Will I still be able to use DLC I bought? It seems to me that this downloaded content on our consoles isn't actually ours. EDIT: Also, have you guys tried disabling your internet connection on your PS3? I don't know if Borderlands WOULDN'T have worked with it enabled, but it worked with it disabled. I also reset the clock because some guy on the internet told me to.

Waiting for the clock to tick over is a wast of time,it has no efect. It's been the 1st of march in Australia for 18 hours and the problem still persists. This is more than a bug,it would effect all PS3's if it were so. It is too much of a coincidence that only original fat BC PS3's are effected as badly as they are. look at the chain of events just prior to this occurring and see if you can spot what might actually of happened and why. 1] Mid JAN , A Certain person announces to the world that they are near to cracking the code to the PS3 by using a 2nd OS on a original BC PS3,also announces that this way of cracking the code and possible pirating of games is only able to be done on this model of console. 2]20th FEB ,Sony announce 12 hour PSN down time for "system maintenance", longest on record,it is actually down 16 hours, problems with player being logged out of online games persist after PSN comes back up. 3]Sony unexpectedly announces that the PSN will have further shutdowns for several hours on the 23,24 & 25 of FEB. Then you have this recent event. And what suffers the most,for some strange reason the only badly effected consoles are those that happen to be original BC PS3's, the very ones that can run a 2nd OS, and the only ones it is theoretically possible to crack the PS3's code on. A bit too much of a coincidence I think. More like Sony has tried to change something that was only supposed to effect these consoles to stop possible cracking, but there was a basic coding error and this is what happened instead.

It is too much of a coincidence that only original fat BC PS3's are effected as badly as they are. look at the chain of events just prior to this occurring and see if you can spot what might actually of happened and why. 1] Mid JAN , A Certain person announces to the world that they are near to cracking the code to the PS3 by using a 2nd OS on a original BC PS3,also announces that this way of cracking the code and possible pirating of games is only able to be done on this model of console. 2]20th FEB ,Sony announce 12 hour PSN down time for "system maintenance", longest on record,it is actually down 16 hours, problems with player being logged out of online games persist after PSN comes back up. 3]Sony unexpectedly announces that the PSN will have further shutdowns for several hours on the 23,24 & 25 of FEB. Then you have this recent event. And what suffers the most,for some strange reason the only badly effected consoles are those that happen to be original BC PS3's, the very ones that can run a 2nd OS, and the only ones it is theoretically possible to crack the PS3's code on. A bit too much of a coincidence I think. More like Sony has tried to change something that was only supposed to effect these consoles to stop possible cracking, but there was a basic coding error and this is what happened instead. 1. I remember the guy basically only broke through 1 of the many walls of the PS3 security (and could barely do anything on it), and I remember the firmware of this "hack" is very low. Like launch date low. 2 & 3 I don't recall at all, and those dates were very recent too.

After further searching I came across a pretty good theory on what happend besides (HACKERS) and here it is, The going theory is that the PS3 is storing some form of date in GMT, then modifying that to get whatever you see in the on-screen clock. That modification process seems to be fine--the system can take 2/28/2010, 9PM GMT, add four hours, and get 3/1/2010, 1AM random time zone. What's apparently effed, as speculation goes, is when the internal GMT-tracking rolls over to 3/1. It's either not rolling, or rolling to 2/29, at which point a system tries to add/subtract from 2/29, which it can't do because the front-end calendar doesn't have a 2/29/2010, and $#!T explodes. Seemed to happen around 4PM PDT, which I think is 12AM GMT, so. And the PS3 launched in 2006; it's hit 4 2/28s so far. 2007 and 2009 were odd-numbered years; 2008 was an even, and a leap year. 2010 is the first even non-leap-year the system's been around for. If some sort of base-level math is choking on itself, it may have ruled out the odd 2007 and 2009 successfully, but is convinced the even 2010 is a leap year (this part I'm less sure of, but is why leap year could theoretically come into play at some point.) I copy/pasted that whole thing.

the issue being related to a calendar bug in older PlayStation 3 consoles what i hear. but sony not saying other thn "We're narrowing down the issue and continue to work to restore service to all. Updates as soon as we have them."

Another possibility is that during these recent down times of the PSN, Sony has tried to implement the basic sub structure of the tiered "Pay for features" system that has been proposed, which if true would me that the "Pay for Features" was already decided on, and the so called "INFO LEAK" was just a softening up & damage control before the actual system was put into place, and people are asked to cough up some $$. Whatever they have done it's stuffed up Big Time.

Well its 1:16 AM Pacific Time and the problem still persists. The clock on the ps3 states its 4:02 PM. So do we have to wait until the clock on the ps3 resets? In any case, I think i'll back up my HDD just in case. Hopefully they'll have the problem resolved by the time I wake up.

Loaded up LBP and Heavy Rain this morning only to realise afterwards that I've lost the trophies for both games. Not too big a problem cos it'll be a pleasure to earn them all agian on both games no matter how unnecassary. Has anybody else experienced this problem or am I just an unlucky gadder?

Losing trophies has happened to pretty much everyone. Doesn't mean they're permanently gone though, as long as you have your trophies synced (in other words, has your PS3 ever been on-line) I'm confident no one will lose any trophies once this is all sorted out.

I got it as soon as it hit...;( Those people with a PS3-Slim are lucky...the problem doesn't effect them. I'm concerned about all the stuff I have bought from the PSN not working...most of it being for LBP...thats over ?90 worth of Costumes, and packs I can't afford to loose...;_;

I wish i didnt turn my PS3 on now! I read about it on IGN and its a global problem affecting pre-slim models. It pushes your date back to 31/12/1999 too! :eek: Hope they can fix it soon!

Well, I stumbled upon this article (http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-12218-Video-Game-Examiner~y2010m3d1-PSN-Up-and-working-properly) that claims the following: "After calling Sony's technical support and speaking to one of their representatives, we were told the issue would be fixed by morning and that there is no need to fear about game's trophies or save data, so it's safe to assume these will be fine once the problem is taken care of. It sounds like the fix will be made relatively soon and that there won't be any ill side-effects from the bug. What time the fix will go up exactly is yet to be determined." Hope this is true.

This is scary. I don't know what to do now. As you may or may not know I suffered the YLOD a couple of weeks ago and got a replacement which was also one of the old stytle 60GB ones and had to redownload all my DLC. I haven't tried switching it on yet today but I was on LBP until around 3am with no problems so I'm wondering if it would be ok or not if I switched it on now ? Obviously I was unaware of this problem when I turned it off this morning to go to bed so I never thought to check the date or time settings. Well you don't normally do you ? Does anyone know if the fact I was on it well into the 1st of March would mean it will be ok or would turning it on now still cause me the problems regardless ? I don't want to sit here twiddling my thumbs when I could be creating but by the same token I don't want to mess it up by trying it and wish I hadn't. I guess I answered my own question there didn't I. Probably safest to just wait do you think ?

I think i'm gonna unplug my new ps3 and plug in my old one, you know, just to join in the fun. I should get SOME use out of the glorified paperweight, after all. I'll even vid cap it.

I'd say leave it mrV. I doubt the "damage" being caused is permanent but seeing as know one has any real idea what's causing this, you certainly are better off on the safe side. With any luck it'll all blow over in a day or two (sony will be working all out on this so hopefully it will be fixed ASAP). I wouldn't trust any 3rd hand "official" word on a fix time though. Could just be someone claiming to have the official news for a bit of attention (see earlier, clearly bogus, claim about hackers and malware ).

uhm. my old ps3 signed in fine and asked me to update it....I'll check the model in a second. Its a model CECHG01 manufactured in september of 07 and has the 3.1 firmware on it. I'm gonna update it to the latest and see if it signs in. I should point out, now that i think of it, that it Did say 12/31. and, the update threw an error.

ok, i got the same error as you guys. it started after the whiteknight update (1.24 was it?) and now its permanent. Seriously.. how epic dumb must someone be to fff up the code on a date so much? (if that is the case... but all rumours go back to the date-problem) on some forums this is now reffered to the "ps3-date-rape-bug" lol.

I thought that too, seing as a leap year calculation is a very simple thing. However, looking into it, the way the PS3 calculates a date is somewhat convoluted, due to the nature of the hardware, so it's possible something slipped through. The real problem here seems to be the date issue tripping up slightly overzealous DRM / Authentication systems - causing a massive effect from a tiny bug.

Im reading more and more on forums about people losing savegames for various games when they played trough the night and made it to 0:00 am and beyond. havent read anything about lbp savestuff yet though) I dont want to start chaos by saying so.. but I so hope this doesnt mean I lost all my work. sure I got backups, and plenty of them.. but I have done so much work the last two days.. and that backup was made this morning.... (well.. yes.. i do like mass hysteria.. carnage results in good photo's!) For roflfactor: We're aware that many of you are having problems connecting to PSN, and yes, we're looking into it.

You will be able to use your DLC again. For the simple reason that Sony cannot afford to give everyone the refunds that would be required if DLC stopped working, nor can they afford to turn this PR mess into a PR catastrophe. The servers record the DLC you have downloaded, and the records also probably still exist locally on your machine. And to clarify: The downloaded content on your console is not yours. Be grateful for that. If it belonged to you, you would be liable for keeping it intact. As it is, you have a license to use said content, without any rights to ownership, which means it's Sony's responsibility to get it working again

what RTM said is true, But.. I have done some in depth research about this, (half a year ago as microsoft denied me my access to various live arcade games) and (at least in the Netherlands) if you buy something, in real life, or on the internet. Its yours. So even if sony (or in my case microsoft) said its "only a license" they are actually breaking their own contract and dutch law when they deny you your access to the dlc. its a long story and would be way OT, and I am a poor writer.. that would result in only copies of the dutch correspondence with the lawyer I contacted to look into the microsoft user agreement and everything that had to do with it. on other roflfactor: According to Sony's US PlayStation blog, the company has "narrowed down the issue and have engineers working to restore service even as you read this." However, despite more calls to Sony there's no indication on the time it'll take to fix – or indeed what the fix will be. More updates the instant we get them. One theory points to an issue with the console's internal calendar, which is reportedly resetting pre-slim models to 12/31/1999. As sony now lives in 12/31/1999, I assume it might take them 11 years before the fix is made.

Oddly enough, water is the only DLC object that works in the PS3's current state. Presumably you mean the water settings in the Global Settings page, not the Global Water Object. That's because the former isn't actually DLC-locked, only the latter is. You can actually get the water settings in the Global Settings page without buying the PotC pack. You just need to complete the first level of the PotC pack via someone's hearted levels to 'unlock' it. Back on topic, my PS3 was already on at the stroke of midnight on the 1st of March, and it was working fine. Note that everyone's clocks will rollover at the same time, regardless of timezone, since the time is stored internally as UTC (a.k.a. GMT), with a separate timezone offset parameter, which is why it would've starting occurring just after 7pm in the EST timezone. I switched it off before I went to sleep last night, but I fear, however, that if I turn it on today, I'll encounter the same problem as many other PS3 'fat' owners are experiencing right now. I'm not even sure that just waiting until midnight on the 2nd of March will help either. If I can cope with the LBP withdrawal, I'll probably wait until we get some sort of official resolution from Sony before I dare turn it on again, but if it requires a firmware patch, and that requires you to log in the PSN, and you can't log into the PSN, then I don't see how they're going to manage it.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you don't need to be logged in to PSN to download firmware updates. In the state my PS3 is in now, I can still browse the internet, so it's still connected. I'm guessing they will tell us to manually update it by going to the settings page and clicking the update button...

I just thought of something that would cause quite the conundrum. We all know (assuming you've been following along) that this is affecting even people who haven't ever connected to PSN. Say, for example, that someone owns a PS3, but they do not have internet access. How, then, are they expected to update their PS3's to amend the problem? I suppose, though, that the issue could have accompanied the latest firmware update, in which case only those who had updated will be affected. Still, wild stuff. This is quite the major "eff up." On a side note, the Stock Market opens in 38 minutes. Who's up for witnessing a potential Sony meltdown? Let's watch: Sony Corporation (SNE) (http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=SNE#chart1:symbol=sne;range=1d;indicator =volume;charttype=line;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;l ogscale=on;source=undefined)

Even if firmware updates required PSN, you could always update manually by downloading the update to a USB stick from another PC.

Yeah, if this problem is a hardware malfunction, people who don't have on-line are screwed. I suppose though they'll call Sony, and maybe Sony will send them a fix on a disk or something.

I'm sure that for people who do not have internet access, Sony will offer a disc or something with the fix.

You know, they might have mentioned it before around the forums, but with this recent problems, certain people , which one could think are parts of the negative side effects caused by digital inclusion, wont disrupt the peace using a fat PS3 for a while xD (You name them: Trolls, h4hers, people who hate without having a reason to do so, etc) Ironical to think that in this specific situation we are facing a moment of peace (Not having to deal with the above mentioned problems), yet we are facing the chaos of not being able to access psn, our dlcs, etc.

Anyone else find it a little amusing that people are getting so worked up over a few hours without being able to play games? It's the nature of the inability to play games, no one cares if they can't play the game due to other commitments but telling them they can't play because the console is broken is an entirely different thing, even with no intention to play games today people would get worked up over their expensive equipment breaking for no reason.

Also bear in mind that it (allegedly) works for some people, but not others. Personally, I'd recommend ensuring that your PS3 can't connect to the PSN before you turn it on, even if this means switching off your router for a while. I think the distinction between those for whom it might work, and those for whom it won't, is whether they previously attempted to connect to the PlayStation Network while their system clock was reporting the year to be 1999. If you did try to connect to the PSN during this time, it's possible that it intefered with the authentication/encryption algorithm in such a way to cause some lasting effect, which can only be resolved by Sony. If you didn't, then there's a chance this might work. However, it's at your own risk. Personally, I'm too paranoid to try it right now.

I think the distinction between those for whom it might work, and those for whom it won't, is whether they previously attempted to connect to the PlayStation Network while their system clock was reporting the year to be 1999. If you did try to connect to the PSN during this time, it's possible that it intefered with the authentication/encryption algorithm in such a way to cause some lasting effect, which can only be resolved by Sony. If you didn't, then there's a chance this might work. However, it's at your own risk. Personally, I'm too paranoid to try it right now. Sounds much cooler!! I am gonna try it!

"We will be updating you the second we have some news." In my opinion, comments like these show a bit of insecurity on Sony's side, sounding like Sony workers are afraid we might kill them and their families, thus desperately trying to calm us with messages like this, which are kinda obvious and not that helpful. (C'mon, we know they are gonna update when they have news, this obvious comment is not what we want to hear.)

I just thought of something that would cause quite the conundrum. We all know (assuming you've been following along) that this is affecting even people who haven't ever connected to PSN. Say, for example, that someone owns a PS3, but they do not have internet access. How, then, are they expected to update their PS3's to amend the problem? I suppose, though, that the issue could have accompanied the latest firmware update, in which case only those who had updated will be affected. Still, wild stuff. This is quite the major "eff up." On a side note, the Stock Market opens in 38 minutes. Who's up for witnessing a potential Sony meltdown? Let's watch: Sony Corporation (SNE) (http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=SNE#chart1:symbol=sne;range=1d;indicator =volume;charttype=line;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;l ogscale=on;source=undefined) Stocks are fine, thus we have some hope to have our systems repaired. I didn't read all the pages, but guys, you shouldn't have lost anything, since all the data (savings, trophies, etc...) are all in your PS3, still the system can't recognize the datas because they are in a future that the system doesn't see. In the same way they can't open any kind of exec file of games, since they all sport a "time" that doesn't exist yet. This is a huge time paradox, like the ones in the movies...WOOT! Does anyone has a Fat PS3 with swapped hard drive? I never had any of the common problems PS3 has, and I have a 40GB with a Western Digital 250 GB. I still imagine the problem is there in any case, still I have nearly 4 hours before I can get back home and check the stuff out.

So what are you guys favorite things to do on your PS3's? Personally I love changing the themes and fonts, did that for about 2 hours. Also it's pretty fun to look at the information of your songs, see how many MB they are, etc. I heard they can do other things too, ..and maybe one day they might be able to play videogames, but that's just a rumor I heard.

FWIW, if you want to check the status of your trophies, as far as Sony's servers are concerned (which may be different to what your PS3 thinks), you can append your PSN ID to the URL... http://us.playstation.com/publictrophy/index.htm?onlinename= ...for example... http://us.playstation.com/publictrophy/index.htm?onlinename=Aya042

I've actually not tried my system. My husband's reset itself to 1999 last night, though. I'm scared to death to turn mine on. I'm going to probably wait till all of this blows over and revisit some of my lovely handheld system games that I need to play, i.e. phoenix wright. ^_^

guys, im new to this forum. my downloadable content will not work. i cannot continue to edit levels that i was in the process of making with some packs i purchased. i can create a new level with water from pirates ....... but when i try to work on my level i was in the middle of ...... it will not let me??? i dont get how a network error can cause this problem? any help would be appreciated. im probably in the wrong forum ....... but i need some answers if you got em. thanks

same as me man its ok weve all got the same problem except yes i could use water when i was a bt confused last nite wondering wot was happening.... i wonder if we'll get our downloadable content back or will we hav to download it again, if so it better not count towards the 3 times we hav to dowload it to a system....

I must admit, I was really scared when I saw all my DLC was gone... that, and the fact that I couldn't sign in. Hopefully they'll get to the bottom of this and fix it! For now, it's time to play CRASH BANDICOOT 3.

From what I've read, and due to the selective nature of the problem, it seems to be linked to the hardware/firmware and not to the network. Not being able to access the PSN seems to just be another symptom of the underlying problem. I'm going to wait until everything is resolved before trying to play LBP again, though I did suffer from the same issues since I was finishing Darksiders that day (and it would not let me sign into PSN, which I simply wrote off as a network outage at the time). It's in Sony's best interest to fix this issue to the total satisfaction of its users. With so many users afflicted, there will be backlash...

The DRM on your dlc is screwed up because of that. At least that is what I'm lead to believe. Something similar would happen to other media devices if thier internals glitched. In latin (poorly translated, albeit) 'Post horologium ergo proctor DLC' Thats right, folks. Its a good old fashioned 'post clock fallacy' Yay comp and rhetoric!

I'm seething with this issue! My console got the dreaded error code today! I paid ?600 at launch for my console and then another ?150 to get it fixed bexause of YLOD, and now this! If I'd have waited and paid ?250 for a slim, then these issues would't have affected me. It almost feels like Sony are punishing me for early adoption! Sony better get their act together and offer me a slim for FREE or I shall boycott Sony forthwith! And how am I gonna live with no LBP?! Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh!!!!

Yesterday the only things I experienced was disconnection now and then. A few times more than usual. I was watching some movies on the harddrive and playing a bit of Oblivion. I was never asked to download any updates so I've not experienced any problems or errors yet....

On the bright side, my dad was doing some work in the backyard, and he needed something to help support the deck while he fixed part of it. I thought...

So this is disconcerting to me. I've played games for a very long time now. I earn money to buy games. I play games. I like games. That is the old philosophy. I have to really examine this new world order and the stranglehold it has over me. Thanks to this design flaw, I now have the time to remove myself from the matrix... So LBP boots up but with 'no' community aspect, (right now, I'm actually down with that!), but then I discover all the DLC i've purchased (read ALL) isn't available to me... thus, I cant even edit my own creations. The illusion shatters. What is left? *gulp* Oh boy. No matter how long this goes on for-- the damage is done. Sure- to the masses its just plain angering, but, there are some real dangers here, and real reasons why you know SONY is working their butts off to get this thing fixed. That it's going on this long just tells me SONY was slow to react, and they got no easy fix... So your addicted to LBP? It's true, if your here you probably are... So what happens if you are deprived your fix? Time heals all wounds... You'll find something else to do, and it don't take long either. Just a couple of days. As mentioned earlier, I was addicted to LBP and even needed this site. LBP was in my PS3 for over a year straight! Thanks to (some ugliness here) and BIOSHOCK2, I broke my LPB addiction. And ya know what? Some DLC content came out that I didn't buy! So while there may be no need to throw rocks... (yeah, it's inconvenient), yes -it will have reverberating consequences, yes -it will hurt how the PS3 is viewed--possibly future sales--even could propel SONY toward its next platform-- Who knows? Ultimately, for me it calls into question gaming in this 'Century of Connectivity'... because, YES!, I do miss just powering up and being transported away. All of you, were always just a bonus, and (a cold consolation prize at best), as compared to not being able to 'PLAY' and 'CREATE'. The 'SHARE' of this new century for me comes second.

Okay so I was on LBP until just after midnight (GMT) (****!) , I haven't switched on since then, so is it trophies & DLC that are screwed or is my PS3 going to be totally bricked if I try powering up?, yes I have a FAT one (no pun intended!) ???

It doesn't show Heavy Rain trophies even if I have unlocked a good 40-ish % of them, not even the Star Ocean's ones...now that I look better. Bear in mind that it will only show the trophies you had at the last time you sync'd your trophies with the server. If you feel as if you've lost some since then, it could easily be a symptom of a date problem, e.g. upon sync'ing, your PS3 is telling the server "I got this trophy in December 1999", and server is responding with "I don't believe you, since the game wasn't even released at that time - go away". I think part of the trophy problem is that the PS3 has reset the timestamps on some of your local files, and there's no easy way to fix this without some intervention on Sony's part. Ditto with the DLC problem - the local certificates which authorize the use of your content probably have a time-limited scope, and it now believes you're outside of that scope. Still, that's the price for investing in a computer with such a closed and proprietary architecture. Quite frankly, only an idiot of a programmer would implement a synchronization protocol which actually believes what your local time is set to, as it's so easy to exploit this to do all sorts of evil things (e.g. the LBP level photo timestamp exploit (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/lbp/board/message?board.id=pod&thread.id=47945)). However, hopefully whomever is responsible for this piece of code is getting a good kicking from management as we speak.

lol so your PS1 didn't work, you thought, "hmm, I wonder what would happen if I turned it upside down?" What made you think to do that? My boyfriend at the time told me that it worked for him because he had the same exact problem. The cut scenes wouldn't play for various games when it was right side up, but upside down it worked like a dream.

So is my PS3 bricked or is it just trophies and DLC? will I be able to play LBP at all, or not until fixed? waited for effing ages for a PS3 and LBP only had it 10 days, grr! (as long as the machine is not totally bricked)

I see the Trophy issues because I'm sure I synched Heavy Rain trophies just to compare with Miglioshin's ones and see what he did unlock. So I'm dead sure I last synched my trophies Saturday at 0:30 am. As far as it concerns the PSOne upside down issue, I knew it only worked with modded consoles.
