PS3 suffering from global network lockdown

Haha I was just about to make a thread on this. What the feck is going on?

Error 8001050F.
 
I'm struggling to make sense of that sentence tbh KK.
 
I was wondering why Heavy Rain trophies were not unlocking for me, perhaps this is it.
 
It also seems date and time have changed for a number of people to 1999, I wouldn't boot up any games as of yet some reports it might wipe any trophies you may have earned for that game.

Sony Epic Fail

will be interesting to see does this begin to affect all users or is it localized.
 
Reading through forums, it's not happening to the slim PS3's. It isn't localized either, reports coming in from Asia, Australia, The States and all over Europe.

:nervous:
 
If you’re trying to get onto PlayStation Network as of right now, sorry, it’s down. Many users of PSN have confirmed that the network is currently unavailable, with them receiving a 8001050F error message. That’s not all, many more issues have appeared, leaving PlayStation Network users are less than thrilled, voicing their frustration on forums around the ‘net.


The date on your PSN clock has also apparently changed as well, to December 31st. The time has also been mixed up as well. This is probably due to the fact that there is no network access whatsoever. Users have also reported that games are not working, because trophy access is unresponsive. If you try to play a PS3 or PSN title, the game will give you this message:

Registration of the trophy information could not be completed.
The game will quit.
(8001050F)

Purchased PSN titles are not working as well, and some are reporting of copyright issues. Demos however, are working fine.

We’ll bring you more on this network error as soon as more news hits.

Hmm, interesting. Apparently it was down initially for scheduled maintenance, so somebody has fecked up something pretty badly it seems.
 
If it is only effecting phat PS3's and even offline then its a firmware related issue I would imagine.
 
Spot on some slims seem to be fine a few reports of some acting up aswel, not sure why it's affecting some it's like when you turn it on the ps3 if it has a chance to get to the net whilst loading said game Which has trophies to either update or sync or whatever it's goosed

it's a very odd one Sony have only said they are looking into it
 
I can hear the tapping rumble of 360 fanboys gearing up for war.

Well you obviously didn't get my christmas day reference!

Xbox Live having trouble. Again. On Christmas day.

We hear a lot of people are having problems with Xbox Live today (we're not, for the record), but if you're feeling a bit sheepish about giving the gift of a 360 + Live service to a loved one, just imagine how Microsoft must feel. The service -- which we'd like to remind everyone is paid, unlike the competition's -- has been up and down since Christmas weekend. And it's not some surprise that there would be an influx of users today, nor is it any mystery to Microsoft how many Live accounts and Xboxes were sold over the past couple of weeks -- which is precisely why this kind of thing is so annoying. Thankfully, it seems to be a bit less widespread than last weekend's outage. Feel free to shout it out in comments.

Grand once the likes of the states are getting it aswel they are going to have to get the finger out on it, shame too I was looking forward to some GW tonight
 
I am pretty sure someone is phoning weaste right now to make him aware of the situation, and he will probably bang his head in excitement like that bloke at the beginning of Independance Day.
