What we heard: PlayStation 3 owners globally have received an unwelcome surprise in the last few hours, with a yet unexplained error preventing some games from being played. The error--commonly being reported as "error number 8001050F" by console owners on user forums such as GameSpot's--prevents gamers from signing into the PlayStation Network and in several cases disallows gameplay in both offline and online modes. Though Sony Computer Entertainment did not immediately make an official statement on the issue, various online forums said pre-Slim PS3 models have been the most affected. Forum goers have speculated that the issue could be related to a Y2K-like error with "Fat" PS3 internal clocks, or something more along the lines of a PSN server failure. If you have a PS3 "Fat," you may be seeing this screen. The official story: A Sony Computer Entertainment Australia spokesman told GameSpot AU that Sony was "aware of the issue and are currently investigating it." Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus that there's a massive issue affecting plenty of consoles globally. Internal testing performed by GameSpot staff has found that while some games can still be played offline successfully, others--such as Tekken 6, Darksiders, and Heavy Rain--cannot be played, with error messages reporting an inability to obtai

A post on PlayStation Blog has confirmed that the problems are "being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system." The statement puts a loose timeframe on a fix for https://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-use-your-ps3-until-internal-clock-bug-fixed/ the issues, saying, "we hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours." Additionally, the PlayStation Blog post includes a word of warning to PS3 Phat owners: "if you have a model other than the new slim PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained Trophies, and not being able to restore certain data."

Error 8001050F Demystified [UPDATE]March 1, 2010 Written by Jonathan Leack More than 24-hours ago, PlayStation 3 owners around the world began reporting serious issues with their consoles. While some PS3s have been unable to play games and log into the PlayStation Network, other consoles haven't experienced any problems. The question is: what is going on?The first thing to note is that this is not a PlayStation Network issue. These errors and issues are directly related to the hardware side of the PlayStation 3 console. Specifically, the system and OS clocks are conflicting, which is causing erratic system behavior. The system clock is running at all times and only counts forward. When powered on, the system clock confirms what time it is to the OS Clock. On top of that, when a PlayStation 3 is on, a battery inside of the PlayStation 3 gets charged which runs the system clock in the background even when the PlayStation 3 is turned off. What's causing the problem?The system clock thinks that today is a leap year dated February 29th, 2010. Meanwhile, the OS Clock doesn't have that date available in its table since it doesn't exist. What we have are two very conflicting dates which have caused the PlayStation 3 to change behavior. It's hard to tell exactly why the date on many PS3s has been rolled back to 1999, but it could be a protocol set in place by Sony for situations like this.Why does the system clock think it's leap year?Apparently, the older PlayStation 3s have been programmed to think that every even year is a leap year. You might be asking, "Well, why didn't PS3 consoles face this issue in 2008 then?". The answer is, because 2008 WAS a leap year. This is an unfortunate set of circumstances, because in reality leap year is every four years, but the console thinks that
