Man guys this could be really really bad news if their losing information on games curently in production....hopefully they get a fix soon cause this could turn out awful

Woha this will hurt badly Sony if it spreads like this... PS3 breakings, games corrupted...

and that is most likely caused by that very same BIOS clock state fault.\

because there was a few PC's that did that until i updated the BIOS .

Not to say for 100% that's what it is exactly, but most likely that is the culprit.

QUESTION: Does it make it for every fat PS3 or not?

update from sony, sorry if already posted:

Was Gran Turismo 5 affected?

God I hope not, I have a Slim so I'm ok from this but man......if this affects games in production and everything this could be VERY bad news, lets keep our fingers crossed that they find an easy fix for this becuase I wan't too worried until I saw that.

Latest info on PlayStation Network Status

Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media

As you may be aware, some customers have been unable to connect to the PlayStation Network today. This problem affects the models other than the new slim PS3.

We believe we have identified that this problem is being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.

Errors include:

* The date of the PS3 system may be re-set to Jan 1, 2000.
* When the user tries to sign in to the PlayStation Network, the following
message appears on the screen; “An error has occurred. You have been
signed out of PlayStation Network (8001050F)”.
* When the user tries to launch a game, the following error message appears
on the screen and the trophy data may disappear; “Failed to install
trophies. Please exit your game.”
* When the user tries to set the time and date of the system via the
Internet, the following message appears on the screen; “The current date
and time could not be obtained. (8001050F)”
* Users are not able to play back certain rental video downloaded from the
PlayStation Store before the expiration date.

We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, 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.

As mentioned above, please be advised that the new slim PS3 is not affected with this error. We are doing our best to resolve the issue and do apologize for any inconvenience caused.

For the latest status on this situation please continue to check either the PlayStation.Blog or PlayStation.com.

as far as i can gather not all phat PS3's

it may be the PS3's in the 90nm scale chip's, and some maybe with the first run of the 64nm scale chip's on the motherboard.

it look's to be the earlyone's more so than later model's

YES solved within next 24 hours!

oh yeah apparently the japanese version of FFXIII runs fine on every single type of PS3 despite having trophies....odd.
