Another theory
- First off, I noticed that my time and date has been reset to 31st December 1999 and I can't change it back to what it is as it keeps resetting and when I try to set the time I get this error message: The current time and date could obtained. (8001050F).The going theory is that the PS3 is storing some form of date in GMT, then modifying that to get whatever you see in the on-screen clock. That modification process seems to be fine--the system can take 2/28/2010, 9PM GMT, add four hours, and get 3/1/2010, 1AM random time zone.
What's apparently effed, as speculation goes, is when the internal GMT-tracking rolls over to 3/1. It's either not rolling, or rolling to 2/29, at which point a system tries to add/subtract from 2/29, which it can't do because the front-end calendar doesn't have a 2/29/2010, and shit explodes. Seemed to happen around 4PM PDT, which I think is 12AM GMT, so.
And the PS3 launched in 2006; it's hit 4 2/28s so far. 2007 and 2009 were odd-numbered years; 2008 was an even, and a leap year. 2010 is the first even non-leap-year the system's been around for. If some sort of base-level math is choking on itself, it may have ruled out the odd 2007 and 2009 successfully, but is convinced the even 2010 is a leap year (this part I'm less sure of, but is why leap year could theoretically come into play at some point.)
The following is a list of errors that I have recieved.
- When I try to load up Dragon Age: Origins and Smackdown vs RAW 2010 I get this error code: "Registration o the trophy information could not be completed. The game will quit. (8001050F).
- When I to sign into the PSN I get this message: An error has occurred. You have been signed out of PlayStation Network. (8001050F).
- When I try to play a downloaded game I get this error message: An error occurred during the start operation. (8001050F)
