Sony’s Repairing The Playstation Network…

Over the past 24 hours players on the PSN network have found difficulties logging into the network.

Players have been receiving error faults when trying to login and can no longer connect. Sony have stated they are currently fixing what’s wrong.

The problem has only been accruing to the “Fat” PS3’s and not the slim line PS3’s.
On PlayStation’s Twitter feed, Sony have confirmed that “Readers/followers are confirming that “slim” units (120/250 GB models) are connecting normally”

Errors that players have received are:

* 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 playback certain rental video downloaded from the PlayStation Store before the expiration date.
