So, if you are like me and you have one of the pre-slim ps3s you probably can’t play any games right now because of the infamous error 8001050F.

When it first happened last night I googled it and the geneeral response was just to wait it out, it usually fixes itself; then, wow, everyone had it, and all of a sudden playstation announced a “scheduled” maintenence, yeah right.

I wake up this morning to check forums and such, and this thing is almost as big as 911, I guess it simultaneously hit everyone. I thought for sure that someone had hacked sony and f’d their stuff up, but it appears that something way way dumber happened. From what I read this morning, it is actually an error that occurs/occured while synching trophies, wtf. Also, this is so stupid, because there are a ton of offline games that can’t be played because they require trophy synch, like my GOW collection, or MW2, or Heavy Rain, or… pretty much any badass game put out in the last 14 months.

So, unfortunately I have to go to work or I would keep reading, but… it seems that it doesn’t affect the slims, which is completely insane, but w/e. If that is true, then I’ll have a slim tonight at midnight.

Are you guys experiencing this? Keep reading about it and keep posting, I’ll be checking this all day when I get a free couple minutes at work, so let me know what’s up.
