The Happening! PS3's mysteriously stop working worldwide?

[heybtbm]

What the hell? Has this happened to anyone yet? No online, no offline, clocks automatically re-set?

Ya, I noticed this problem awhile ago when I tried to play Heavy Rain. Since the game can't sync to the trophies, it gives me the 8001050f error and boots out of the game. Apparently rumors are, PSN was hacked, hence: http://us.playstation.com/PS3/dearplaystation/. So basically you can't play any games that have trophies, because it tries to sync up the trophy data via PSN. Fucking trophies. This is rage worthy. At least with LIVE you can play offline and then your acheivements update when you sign back on.

Yeah. I tried to get on Demon's Souls today and it said trophy data could not be found and would not let me start the game. This is after it failed to log in. I watched Batman the Animated series then played some Grand Theft Auto 3 on the system. So games without trophies work it seems.

Anyways. My Demon's Souls trophies were removed from my list when starting the game.

After a bit more reading, it's also happening to people who haven't been "online" with their PS3 for days. It might have something to do with the PS3's internal clock and GMT hitting midnight 3 hours ago. Crazy.

It happend to me lost trophies and save game files for Drake's fortune and Killzone 2 DO NOT attempt to play any game with trophies or log in to psn. I haven't tried any games without trophies yet but i will try one and report back soon.

...and I also heard that rumor. Some kinda error with the system clock. Maybe that's why my date and time was in December when I check it. I thought something was up with that.

Heard about this on Kotaku and now I have the sudden urge to play Uncharted 2 online.

Damn you Sony, damn you to hell!

I was going to watch some Blu-Rays but I'm afraid to turn it on until I hear that this is resolved and there's no danger of losing saves.

If I lose my Dragon Age character less than three weeks before Awakenings comes out I will have to cut a bitch.

It won't do anything to your save files (no reports anyway) and while we're at it, you won't be able to watch any Blu-Rays for whatever reason. This is a rather fucked up bug and I'm sure people who don't have the internet are going crazy right now.

I sent my 360 in for the third repair last week. Now this. What the fuck am I gonna do, read a book?

And who was the idiot that designed the trophy system to QUIT a game when it couldn't sync with the online server. Now you can't even play anything offline. (For the record, Heavy Rain is the only game I tried to play.)

What's even worse is that none of my purchased titles from PSN work either. The system thinks I only bought the demo. Mega Man 9 won't even load.

Fuckin' shitballs!!!

You know, I've noticed in general that PSN has a LOT of problems. It's always down on a Friday or Saturday night (generally the only time I have to play anything). I guess that's what you get when you don't pay for it.

[kupomogli]

There's only two times I've had a problem with it. One when I found they were updating everything and this.

I've never really experienced any problems with the PSN otherwise. Kind of sucks that this happened. I just finished Demon's Souls with my new character and was halfway through the second game. If I have to play through it again it may be quite some time before I pick it up. It took me awhile to get pure black tendency as it is.

[Poofta!]

too long, didnt read.

but i am watching a BD on my ps3 at the moment, so no problems here. havent updated the firmware in a month or two, though. but its constantly connected to the web. good thing my 360 is the game console in hte house and ps3 is the video player hehe

[gamedude45]

Ok i was able to play MGS4 and resistance FOM no problems at all also my save data for Uncharted and Killzone 2 are back.

I read all my books on my PSP - at least there is a way to un-brick a PSP if it craps out :P

Fucking epic, sir.

I went to play LittleBigPlanet yesterday and ran into the same issue. InFamous worked fine, though. Glad I got my time with Heavy Rain in an over with or else I'd have been rather upset at this debacle. Though, since I sent my 360 back in, it's my only newer console at the moment.

[Mianrtcv]

I didn't experience this at all.... Mine decided yesterday to stop accepting discs of any kind!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUUUUUDGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!!! What made it better was my dvd/vcr was broken by my 2 year old earlier in the week. So we try to watch something and get nothing.

[obesolete]

14% left to go in AVP... 14%!!!!!!!! Seriously guys... get your shit together!


I read that someone rented a movie and couldn't even watch it due to the crash.

I also read that along with trophies going ka-put that even purchases were dissapearing... there will be hell to pay if all of my download content becomes invalid... oh, there will be hell to pay >_<

It was only certain models affected yas/no? My friend could play games, but mine didn't want to do anything other than spit error codes. =(

[mezrabad]

Played Little Big Planet yesterday and watched movies and video no issues. Only watched video this morning. Everyone who has this issue still having it?
