Earlier today, the fat PS3's crashed "millennium bug" style.

The known issues are:

- Clock/Date reset to 1/1/2000

- No access to PSN

- Games with trophy support may/will not work

- Games purchased through PSN may/will not work

- Dynamic and some other themes are listed as "corrupted data"

The slim PS3's did not get affected; only the fat PS3's. Sony have yet to come up with a fix for the problem but have addressed it. It was rumoured that someone hacked PSN and introduced a trojan but that has since been denied by Sony.

Unfortunately, no COD for a while :down:

Yer was just about to post this. Got home onto my PS3, insert COD-MW2 cd and right as i was about to hit resume game, i get this error:

Registration of Trophy Information could not be completed - (8001050F)

I'm thinking f**k, which mongrel was f**king about with my ps3. Format the system and restore all defulat settings, still no luck. Googled the error code at the end and found out it was a gobal problem.. pheww

Official announcement from Sony

Some consumers are experiencing a network connection failure when signing into PSN and may receive the error code 8001050F.

We are aware of this issue and it's currently under investigation however at this time there is no estimated time to fix. Please refrain from calling your local PlayStation call centre and keep watching this space for further updates...

PlayStation Network Status Update

Posted by Jeff Rubenstein // Social Media Manager

We’re aware that many of you are having difficulty connecting to the PlayStation Network this evening. Those of you with “slim” PS3s (the 120/250 GB models) appear to be unaffected.

Know that we have narrowed down the issue and have engineers working to restore service even as you read this. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, and genuinely appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this.

Well the gist is that the ARM SYSCON CPU that is used to power up the front panel of the ps3, that is responsible for doing things like sleep mode, eject, RTC etc. Is an old batch that sony picked up from the shelf like other manufacturers that has that calendar year bug regarding feburary 29th on certain periods. Causing the ps3 system clock and the real time clock to desync, messing up security measures like Digital Rights management software and sometimes games that relies on clocks for whatever reason. As well as signing up to the playstation network... This CPU is always on even when your PS3 isn't even plugged in.

This problem is also happening with various of test Ps3 models, particulary the ones that has the emotion engine cpu/gpu for ps2 dev.

This is the one of the same type of CPUs that is powering up mobile devices like zune and blackberries, they have been affected with this bug, so they done some software patches. A syscon update can also fix this problem

The Slims ps3s aren't affected because they use a newer up to date revision on the syscon cpu that fixes this bug.

A quick way to fix this is to remove the RTC battery for at least 5-10 min and plug it back in, you will see the date and time reset, and voila...

So we're being told to not even turn on the PS3 until the problems fixed...

damn and I was right in the middle of Uncharted 2...

Well chances are you wont be able to play it anyway due to the trophy sync error, i can't play any of my games due to this, but demos work fine

So i'm guessing the older games will work?

so no Dante's inferno, bioshock 2 or uncharted 2 for a few days...

F**K Pull your head in Sony!

all is well now, although if you were unlucky enough to try and play any games while the ps3 shit itself, pretty much the whole of the 1-3-2010 then you most likely lost a whole heap of trophy data *sucks*

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
