PS3 Error Code 8001050F Announcement of Fixing by Sony Today – What is the latest news about the PS3 Error code 8001050F and the Sony’s announcement of fixing within the day?

Owners of the original model PS3 woke up to a bit of an annoyance this morning with widespread reports that the original 60GB PS3s are now unable to connect to the Playstation Network (PSN).

The on-screen message reads “An error has occured. You have been signed out of the Playstation Network. (8001050F)”, and seemingly prevents any of the consoles from getting online. Some users have been reporting that their offline gaming has been affected as well.

Hence, Sony’s PlayStation 3 appears to be in the throes of an inadvertent global gaming lockdown, suffering from an unidentified glitch that prevents gamers from playing specific games whether online or offline. The issue appears to be related to the monthly turnover (February to March, last night) and occurs whether you’re connected to the Internet or not. The company isn’t responding to press emails at this time or detailing what the problem is, only that it’s working on an “issue” and attempting “to restore service to all.”

Meanwhile, Owners of Slim model PS3s shouldn’t have any trouble connecting, but Sony isn’t saying exactly when it will be fixed for those who have been affected. Sony engineers are reportedly hard at work to rectify the issue as we speak, but there is a rumour (and it is purely forum rumours at the moment) that Sony might need to issue a recall to manually reset the affected systems.

We doubt that this will ultimately be necessary, eitherway, it’s annoying enough that these little issues keep cropping up on an otherwise excellent gaming platform, so we can only hope that Sony manage to get a fix out soon.

Now its for you to judge now what will gonna be the next endeavor of Sony in connection with this current error code that gave a big problems to a lot of customers.

Many pre-Slim PlayStation 3 owners are experiencing error 8001050F on their consoles and it’s preventing players from logging into the PlayStation Network plus improperly displaying or corrupting trophy data.

Sony has posted on their Twitter page stating that 120GB and 250GB Slim models are working correctly and they are looking into the situation.  Users who have converged at the NeoGAF forums theorize the error is due to the PS3’s internal clock having a leap year-related bug and are advising everyone to not use the console for at least 24 hours in the hope that the problem fixes itself.

Sony have recently confirmed that they are experiencing connectivity issues with the classic PS3, they confirmed this on their official Twitter account, here they have acknowledged the problem and stated that they are working on a fix, also they believe that 120GB and 250 GB ’slim’ models are not affected.
