Good day to you, customers and fans of PlayStation Network!  Yes, it is actually a good day for those of you who own Sony’s game console.  Whether you were personally affected by it or only read about it in the last couple of days, it seems that the crisis of Error 8001050F is now over.

The latest reports from Sony indicate that this problem which prevented PS3 users worldwide from logging into their online accounts and playing online game has been resolved.  Apparently, the problem started with the console clock of the older PS3 models.  It was a leap year this past February and the console clock is set automatically to switch over to the next calender date by day.  Instead of adjusting them to read the following day as March 1 after February 28, the console clocks thought the next day was February 29.  As a result, this confused the PlayStation Network servers and caused the consoles themselves to lock out.

Since then, Sony has been quick to reassure their customers that the problem is completely solved now with no significant, lasting damage to the consoles.  However, Sony did inform gamers that there may be some minor issues left over from the crisis such as strange glitches and loss of trophy and save data.  Thus, customers now find their online service and consoles functioning properly again.

Personally, I have to wonder if this problem named Error 8001050F really was just a random incident that happened by chance due to the nature of our calendar year.  A problem like this might actually be a sign that PS3 consoles have other unsolved, internal defects that weren’t counted for when they were made.  The credibility of Sony’s gaming system may still in question at this point.  So, enjoy today, PS3 gamers and every day after that and hopefully, you won’t again find yourself afflicted by a “random” incident rendering your console unplayable.  Check out the link below for more information.
