Playstation Network Woes

Troubled times for Playstation owners. Sony’s PSN has encountered a serious problem which is leading to all kinds of issues. Some gamers are complaining of corrupt trophy information, others are unable to launch certain titles like Heavy Rain. Some owners of the older larger PS3 models (pre-slim era) claim their consoles have reverted back to December 1999, and received a 8001050F error code without even going online.

Sony says it is looking into the issue but is remaining fairly quiet at this point. We’ll provide an update as soon as we hear something.

UPDATE: The error may be blamed on the improper handling of leap years within the system software. Still not confirmed.
