PS3 Error: 8001050F/Do not turn on PS3 today!

[Arron]

I got this error whilst trying to sign in to go on MW2 online.

I've seen on forums that you have to request a replacement.

I bought my PS3 off my mate, second hand. Will I still get a replaced PS3?

Or does anyone know a way to solve? if there is a way.

Thanks, all helpful answers receive +rep ||

There is a MAJOR PS3 error today. Turning the console on will corrupt save data!

MAJOR worldwide error. People suspect it's to do with the leap year as it's March 1st. Turning your console on - just doing that - will corrupt your save data.

Sony are asking people to follow that for updates.

Slims are unaffected.

but yes Sony have been useless this entire time 6-9 hours ago was the last post by them on there twitter which they have been telling people to follow for updates.

I wanted to plat Heavy rain last night aswell >.<

Check your save data IMMEDIATELY! LittleBigPlanet corrupted for me. I know Heavy Rain has done the same for people.

Corrr, this has caused more hassle than what changing to 2000 ('00) did 10 years ago

Yep, if you have a phat PS3 DO NOT TURN IT ON. Until the problem has been fixed.

How?
Why?

[CHA!NGANG]

Turned it on. Didn't work. Now annoyed. I don't care too much if my save data goes though. Would only annoy me because of COD.

isn't that online data though so might not be affected.
