Wasn't there a problem similar to this related to changing your PSN in a specific scenario?

Have you tried creating a different account and using that? Have you tried using a different connection (neighbors without security or at a friend's place)?

I've never once heard of this happening.
To be honest I don't believe you.
I think you be trollin'.

>every time I try to play a game
> try to play a game
>play a game

>>50998941
I don't know...but I only have one PSN ID, so I never change it.

>>50998981
No. And no, but I've tried rebooting my connection. And I've been playing on this connection for years....

There was another thread on this. Seems they fucked up on something

>>50999166
don't worry bro. It's happening to EVERYONE

It's happened to every single PS3 connected online.
What the fuck has Sony done?

Playing a game on my PS3 right now, no issues.

You broke it, bro. gj.

shit just happened to me too bro.

I have no clue what the fuck is going on

Oh god this is hilarious.

>>50999387
quit your game then re-enter it. Then talk so smug

This actually happened to me once, OP. Only it would happen when I tried to view my friend's trophies, it would just get stuck loading something and not progress and I would have to turn my PS3 off.

Like an hour later it just went away.

>>50999332

I guess I'm lucky that my internet went out last month and I haven't been able to go online. Whats going on though? Is this from and update or what?

>>Try to play Grandia
>>Unable to start the boot operation
>>Press triangle, look at info
>>Owner -
>>Start time -
>>End time -

oh god.

Just turned it on to play SF4 and it instantly signed me back out of PSN.. They got to be doing something right now

>>50999499
Hmmm.....
You know what? I actually just updated Demon's Souls...

I'll just throw this out there...
The last thing I did before it broke was play Demon's Souls. I updated it, played for a little bit, then shut the system off. A few hours later, my dad fired up MW2 (or tried to). It froze up before he could get into spec ops.

hahaha enjoy ur virus PSfags!

Apparently everyone's dates are also set to Dec 31st, 1999.
Y2K10 Playstation!

PSN servers are having problems right now.

I have owned a PS3 for almost a little over 2 years now, first time I have seen it.

But it isn't you guys, PSN is down.

Ive had the same PS3 since its release date in Finland and that problem has not occurred to me infact no problems what so ever. Unlike my Xbox 360. I have had to buy a new one once already.

>>50999847
Yup..

That's funny

>>50999877
But are the effected PS3s going to recover? Usually when the PSN is going wonky, you just get a message saying "Bro the PSN is going wonky". Not "Lol you have an unfixable error".

>>50999959
Sony paychecks?

>>50999847
LMFAO I don't see a year, but yeah, date and time right now are 12/31 6:39 PM

I haven't turned on my PS3 in 2 days.
Now I'm terrified.

Would somebody please make it clear on what the fuck is going on, I need to know If I should disable internet connections for now or what.

>>51000043
I get "You've signed out of PSN"

>>51000043

Yes I'm sure they will.

If for some really fucking weird reason they don't, then I'm sure they will take responsibility.

IT'S TIME

THE MACHINE IS BECOMING SELF AWARE

RUN

>>51000137
No... god damn, the PSN servers are just experiencing problems... calm down, they will have it fixed soon enough.

>>51000251
Well then good thing i didn't hook my up to an ethernet cable for a whole month.

Also, how do you use wifi for internet connection?

>>51000251
Skynet, jesus fuck

>>51000207
And I agree that it will probably be fine...but I actually have my doubts. Like what if whatever messages the PSN is sending out triggered something in my PS3 that made my alleged error legitimate? And if it happens to a lot of people, how do they replace them all?

Guys, My PlayStation just turned into a bear.

What do I do?

>>51000416
.....

Why the hell are there so many people freaking out... and why the hell are there so many idiotic PS3 bros.

To use Wifi, set up a Wireless router in your home, and when you set up your connection on your PS3, select WiFi > Search >...... > Profit

>>51000251

SHIT I JUST TURNED AROUND AND MY PS3 ISN'T PLUGGED IN. IT'S GONE WTF

>>51000658
It is nothing they can fix via a firmware update, but they wouldn't even need that.. I can assume the reason the time is off, because the server that has the time on it, that you PS3 access to get the time, is offline...

along with all the other servers, when they come back online, everything will be fine.

>>51000918
HOLY SHIT! IS THERE A NIGGER IN YOUR HOUSE!?

>>51000695
Well I was freaking out because my PS3 randomly said it was a gonner. It wasn't like "Hey...I'm sorry, give us a minute and we'll be back on track". It was more along the lines of "PFFFFF, HAAAA! PS3s broken, BITCH! Have fun backing up your data before sending it off for a week! trollface.jpg"

OH MY GOD MY DATE AND TIME ON MY PS3 IS " 12/31 1999"

WTF DOES THIS MEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder.

I just tried to start playing Soul Reaver (PS1 classic) and was getting the "error failed occurred during start operation" shit, and then the PSN giving me another error.

Me thinks I'll let them do their magic and try again later.

>>51001209

see

>>51000251

the ps3 has gone to FIND soME FUCKING GAMES

I can also assume the reason you can't play your PSN games are that it cant verify it is on your system since... again.. the servers are down

>>51001518

Yeah, and you need to go FIND soME NEW JOKES.

Xbro here, enjoying my functional console with working online.

>>51001688
lol red ring

>>51001688
Spoke too soon, just RRODed

>>51001688

Like I said before.. I have owned my PS3 for over 2 years, use it daily, first time this has ever happened.

I'm sure xbox live goes down more than that.

Well the ps3 trophy system is a knock off so...

>>51001873
It never goes down unintentionally, only for updates. It never crashes because its a superior service.

>>50999847
I just noticed this.
The fuck?

>>51001916
XBL Achievements, Steam Achievements, WoW Achievements, I know EQ got something... You have always had "Badges" and other like things for completing certain task for... a long time.

>>51001209
Y2K MAN. ITS HAPPENING

what the fuck. I cant play anything, ive disconnected, reset time. Nothing fucking works. Im not even trying to play a psn game. AKA future of ubisoft games. inb4 has no gaems

>>51002123
Guess who started it.

You get what you pay for

>>51001873
Had my xbox for 2 years. Only E74 me once but got a year live for the delay. Such great customer service

I guess Sony never informed you on this fuck up of their eh?

Them delicious sonytears.

>>50999959
>Finland

Shouldn't you be sleeping at this time?

Ahahaahahha I was about to buy a PS3.

This has stirred me away permanently.

>>51002344
Yeah bro, just sit tight. The thread's consensus is that it's just some PSN downtime. Just wait for it to come back up.

I'm lolling pretty hard at this because I was playing Tekken 6 campaign mode and when I beat a stage NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED.
I was like what's going on here.
Hard reset, tried to load the game again, syncing trophies didn't work. Reset again, went to connect to PSN, lol nope borked.

Why the hell won't Heavy Rain work?

>>51001209
PS3 IS SO STRONG IT THROWED ITSELF IN THE PAST

>thread's consensus
You'll regret the day you start to trust /v/...

>>50999583
OHSHI-
Backing up saves.

>>50998791
everyones having the same problem

a whole ps3 thread and nobody has saged it, very impressive

Anyone who can't accept a little bit of fucking down time should stay of the internet, away from cable/satellite TV, cell phones, hell any phones, or electronics in general.

God damn I I'm not a fanboy, but I'm sure that 360 has had more unexpected downtime than this..

Also, I own 360 and PS3. Thank you.

This is all pretty hilarious to me as this is my PS3 wallpaper.

I read that his problem is only occurring with the PHAT ps3's ...

Mine is a phat ps3 :( and unable to sign in

8001050F

MY PS3 JUST JUST HAD A MESSAGE SAYING

"Sony unfortunatly has no gaems"

WHAT DO I DO?

Is this only happening to people who played heavy rain?

mine is fine. i think it is the last functioning ps3 in the world.

>>51002869

Its not simply downtime, learn to fucking read. Peoples saves are being corrupted.

>>51002836
you rang?

So I guess the bug of 2000 reached Sony's console with a 10 years delay.

>>51003014

lol

>>51003014
failed sage?

lol at the panic

Man if this shit is happening because of a leap year bug, then sony is fucking stupid

>Turn on PS3
>Auto-sign in set to 'No'
>No errors

Feels good man.

WTF is going on I demand satisfaction

>>51003276
I have that off too. There's more to the problem here.

The same amount of bullshit will happen with Assassin's Creed 2's DRM, lol Ubisoft servers down; massive shitstorm.

What I don't get is why this is a PSN problem that won't let me play offline games. That's like "My comcast connection is down, so I can't use mspaint".

anyone wit a slim having this problem? i have a slim and everything is normal for me.

>>51003366
Piracy protection for non-existent piracy

my system time is December 31 1999!!

FUCKING PS3 APOCALYPSE SKYNET OMFG

>>51003405
not working :/

>>51002900
mine is a fat ps3 too and not working

Y2K is now.

>>51003366
This is probably due to the PS3's clock being set to 1999. This probably leads to digital license problems. In other words, it's Sony's fault for overlooking this problem.

>>51003638
shut up stephen

Oh these sonytears.

this warms my heart so much.

>my face when I think of how close Bad Company 2 is and there being a chance I now won't be able to play it right when it comes out

Same symptoms here. Fired up Dragon Age and...no. Checked the system time and it it's the eve of the millennium.

Because it seems like as good a scapegoat as any, I did play Heavy Rain this week.

this is activision evil deed!

Works just fine for me OP. It's definitely YOUR problem

>>51003790

>>51003775

>>51003790
anyone here crying should be shot.

Also enjoy your unexpected downtime whenever it may happen ( and it will happen) on whatever online services you use.

WITNESS
THE TRUE POWER
OF THE PS3

Not saying that they won't fix this, but what a disaster this would be if you'd need to take all these PS3s up for maintenance to get them running again...

>>51003977
way to ignore the ENTIRE thread dumbass

>be xbro
>watch ps3fags rage
> NO GAEMS
>Feelsgoodman.jpg

Anybody actually thought about calling Sony?

I'm watching family guy on fox

>>51003790

It's not about NETWORK downtime. It's the fact that we can't play single player games offline once the system has gone into this mode.

enjoy your ps3

And then suddenly, people coming into the thread glad others can't play video games.
But people will continue to say those who own Playstations are just plain hateful.

>>51004113
Exactly my (OP) thoughts...

>>51004140
>Greentexts feelsgoodman.jpg instead of just using the actual fucking image

>hmmm

>clock is on the correct date and time
>playing bioshock 2
feels good man

man, I sure hope it gets fixed soon.

Don't worry, it'll be fixed soon. Just some minor technical difficulties.
It's still better than having a 360.

>Xboxfags laugh at a small connection issue
>Enjoy your RROD and lack of exclusives

i bought my ps3 in early january and i have no problems. anyone who bought a ps3 recently getting fucked over by this?

>>51004140
I'm loving it also xbro. How about we play somes games what the ps3 currently don't have.

They also can't play online! Guess bad things are always free.

>>51004310
u mad?

>>51004288
I understand, I guess since I was planning on playing some MAG (how I found out about the error)

Just find something else to do till it's back up.

Is this happening to the fat PS3s only? I'm having problems with my 60 GB one. And I also played heavy rain, though I don't know if that means anything.

>>51004475
True That

>Sony has no gaems

I wonder...

Don't know why it would be, but what if it's location oriented?
Indianafag here.
Also, PHAT PS3.
Bought it about 3 years ago.

>Mega Man 9 starts up fine
>say "Trial Version"

>>51004480
Not really, I just think that you (or whoever I was replying to) is a raging newfag trying to be cool.

>>51004442
I actually just bought mine yesterday. Signed in to PSN downloaded GoW 3 e3 demo, played for a bit turned it off and took off Ethernet cable because i was using it. Still runs fine but im scared to connect to internet now.

IF YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH PSN, QUIT PANICKING, IT WILL BE FIXED SHORTLY. ALSO, SLIM MODELS ARE UNAFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. JUST FINISHED SYNCING TROPHIES AND PLAYED A TROPHY ENABLED ONLINE GAME. JUST CHILL, OLD MODEL BROS.

Apparently, Sony released (or is releasing) a statement saying that the PSN network is down due to making some repairs in the network and should be back up soon.

>>51004567
ps3 has themostgames

How's the free Online working out Sonyfriends?

Wait, what's the error code people are getting?

Same shits been goin on with me,
But i have a PS3 slim (just in case) and i can get on the same WiFi connection as my old one, and with no problems, idk wtf is goin on

>>51005028
8001050F

>>51005128
Okay, nevermind.

I just booted up Fallout 3, I can play the game, but all the trophies I worked for last night disappeared. Fallout 3 isn't even on my trophy list anymore.

>>51005015

Considering it STILL has less downtime than Live, pretty good.

Enjoy paying for things that should be free, Microfriends.

I'm not having any problems. Playing Killzone 2 online right now.

I need MW2 Sony!

My Heavy Rain trophies are gone.

>>51005015
We already paid for the internet connection dont know what you're talking about.

Guys, remember that article about that guy who hacked the PSN website?

Are you fucking retarded? You're 4chan. You're supposed to be up-to-date.

Servers are down because some douchebag decided to get his revenge on Sony because they kicked him out of a tournament on the PS2 game for using some kinda cheat.

>>51005603
Don't know if serious

>>51005603
Source?

>>51005603
Yeah, because hacking the PSN website is the same as taking down all of the online servers.

>>51005701

Considering that all of the PSN accounts are on the website? Yeah, actually.

I think this is a leap year bug on the fat PS3s.

360fag here.

All systems are go.

Not sure if this is an American exclusive problam. Eurofag here, thread got me to check my phat ps3 out of fear. Booted up with correct date and time, trophies there, enjoyed some smackdown vs raw 2010 online.

And you all say RRoD is bad. This shit always happens to PS3 this and the Yellow light of death

Someone who doesn't have a PS3 here,
how much do the downloadable content cost for PS3 (themes and such)?

brb paranoia.

>>51006186
Some are free and some costs like 1-2 dollars.

So when are they going to fix this?

How does one play games on a system with no games?

wiifag here. i dont see this internet problem you fellas are talking about

yeah, i'm suffering from the red screen of death right now. shit is toast.

free via interwebs

It's just internet problems, nothing to do with hardware. *cough* 360 *cough*

>>51006155
LOLNO, this is the first time that I've seen this.
I've seen a similar case with server down time for 10 minutes, and that's all.

Fuck, I had deleted my Demon's Souls data too, just when I found the build of all builds.

Reports say this issue doesn't affect the PS3 slim

This isn't PSN related. People who weren't connected to the internet are having problems too. This is a bug on fat PS3s.

Quick question: If I manage to get a trophy during the internet downtime, it will sync up later right?

>Game will now shut down
>PS3
>game
Sounds fishy OP.

>>51006742

actually it does not

>>51005995
Swedefag here. I was playing Heavy rain or rather, waiting for a loading screen that froze. I quit the game and restarted it and then I got the error message everyones getting. I first thought that the save data was corrupted, but what the hell is this? I can't even start downloaded games. Megaman 9 and Tekken5:DR gives the error message 'The copyright protection information is invalid (800259513).

>>51006723
>>51006718
I have a friend with a fat who got on.
And people in here have said their slims are acting up, as well.

Canadabro here can still connect to psn.

I get some problems goin on rite nao

>>51006723
Ok, well it's happening at the same time to everyone....

Meaning, way back in the day when they made all of our fat PS3s, they were programing them to pull this stunt (including the date change to Y2K eve) on this day.

Sounds plausible to me.

>Idiots in this thread don't realise the playstation network is under scheduled maintenance

You guys...

can it still play movies

Potential disaster for Sony here...

>>51006274
HAHAHAHA. But seriously i should do that sometime soon.

>>51007007
see
>>51006723

Yah, my trophies and themes are fine, I just cant connect.

<baaawwwwwwwwww

>>51006155
This does not happen all the time so stop spreading your lies.

now you really don't have any games

>check trophy list
>demon souls trophies dissapeared

Slims are getting it too.

What should I play while I wait for this to pass, /v/?

are you guys prepared for PLAYSTATIOCALYPSE 2010? im sure Fox will have a news story written by the 11pm news

got off the phone with sony an hour ago, PSN's going through the old ps3's connection. Slim PS3's don't have this problem. They said it'll be back up within 10 hours.

I just got my PS3 Slim a few days ago, and everything seems to be working fine for me now. My condolences, fellow PS3 owners. I think everything will be fine soon enough.

>>51008681
What about not being able to play games then?
