Sony PlayStation 3 owners in multiple regions (including North America, Europe, and Australia) are facing the inability to sign into the PlayStation Network online gaming service, corrupted user data and inability to play some games online or off. The problems are accompanied by the 8001050F error code.

When they try to load up certain games — including the just-released Heavy Rain — they receive the error code and the following message: Registration of the trophy information could not be completed. The game will now quit. After the message, the system reboots. The problems seem to mostly affect older, fat models of the PS3. Slim models are either not impacted or affected far less frequently.

Trophies are prizes given to players for accomplishing certain tasks in each game; the trophies are synced with the PlayStation Network so players can compare their achievements. Gaming blog Joystiq found reports that the consoles were having their dates reset to 12/31/1999; that might somehow be related to the trophy syncing problems.

Once reports of the problems started to appear, Sony tweeted: Were aware that many of you are having problems connecting to PSN, and yes, were looking into it. Stay tuned for updates. Thats all weve heard from them so far. Theres no solution just yet; even disconnecting your console from the Internet doesnt help. Well post an update immediately when we hear about a resolution.
