PS3 Users Experiencing 8001050F Error

If you are owner of Fat PS3 then chances are that you are unable to view your trophy collection and sign in to play station network. Many pre-Slim PlayStation 3 owners are experiencing error 8001050F on their consoles and it's preventing players from logging into the PlayStation Network plus improperly displaying or corrupting trophy data.

Sony has posted on their Twitter page stating that 120GB and 250GB Slim models are working correctly and they are looking into the situation. Users who have converged at the NeoGAF forums theorize the error is due to the PS3's internal clock having a leap year-related bug and are advising everyone to not use the console for at least 24 hours in the hope that the problem fixes itself.

The internet browser is working and I have tried everything from restoring to re seting to default setting and setting up my system again. Still same error. Sony better fix this as early as possible. Compared to XBox users I considered myself lucky for using error free console.
