PS3 General Discussion

So this may sound like a stupid question.


Will my netflix disc work if I have the PS3 connection to a different internet connection?

Assuming the connection is still strong enough to support the stream, yes. It should be registered with your hardware so that it will work no matter where you are.

It's my cousins house and they have the fastest connection Qwest offers so it should be fine.

Thanks.
 
One question and one announcement ;)

After installing Oblivion GOTY I have 5,6 GB free space left but when I try to download GOW III demo which is 2,6 (AFAIR) PS3 says that I have not sufficient free space :/ is it due to Oblivion "page" file or is there something wrong with my HD ? (60GB 3 years)

The announcement would be:

Yesterday after not playing seriously SSHD for at least a year I sat and did my record run on first attempt :)
75M pore than previous record - so now it is 481M

140th in the world and 2nd in my country.
Still at least 300M possible to make I think...

Sorry for bragging in this topic but search had no results for SSHD or Super Stardust HD, maybe some of you play it and have much better results,tips ?
 
nope. My controller has been synced to my ps3 the day it came out of the box and has never synced to another ps3.

You're saying that you'll be playing and then after turning it on the next time, its not in sync? I don't have a clue why that would happen, but my only guess is that you synced it to many different ps3 units that it got confused. Farfetch'd but that's all I can think of.
 
I will turn the PS3 on with the controller and then shut it off the same way. The next time I go to turn the PS3 on with the controller, the PS3 will not "recognize" the controller and the controller's four lights will just flash until I hit the reset button on the back of the controller. It is really starting to get a bit annoying that every other time I use the PS3 having to reconnect the controller with the USB cord.
 
That happened to me last night. I had to connetc the USB cord also. But it turns out that my controller's battery was also dead.
 
I guess I posted this earlier in the wrong place, so I'll try posting this here. First thing is I have a 60GB PS3 with the BD/DVD currently out of the machine and is getting fixed. So when ever I try to play games on my HDD, I select the game, the screen turns black, then it flickers for just a moment and then the screen just remains black. No game. So I backed up amy HDD, and then I restored the HDD hoping that would solve my problem. But not this time. Was wandering if anyone else experianced any of this before or something similar? Or maybe you just know whats wrong. I guess the worst case would be a mother board issue. Anyways if anybody has a clue to how this can be fixed without sending it off, that would be awsome. Thank you ahead of time.
 
I cannot sign into the Playstation Network at the moment. This is the exact message I am getting:

"An error has occurred. You have been signed out of Playstation Network. (8001050F)"

I also cannot do anything on the Campaign either, as I get this message:

"Registration of the trophy information could not be completed. The game will quit. (8001050F)"

I get the second message when trying to play any game.

EDIT: I just found these: Page 1, Page 2, and Page 3.

So it seems to be a widespread problem. I was already contemplating going out and purchasing a new PS3 Slim based on some of my early search results on Google. The three pages above are a fairly big relief to say the least. :lol:

EDIT of the EDIT: Just gave the Sony forums a very quick once over and there are a bunch of active threads there also.

On another note, this problem has seemed to go away . . . for the time being. :odd:

Yup, seems to be a widespread problem. Doesn't seem to be affecting me though. (knocks on wood) Signed in automatically as usual when I turned my system on, ran a couple specs ops missions in MW2 and now I have the GOW III Demo and episode 2 of The Tester downloading. :sly:

Hopefully Sony gets the issue resolved soon.

If you ask me, I'd prefer that problem over not being able to sign in at all. :)

You have a slim by any chance? :dunce:
 
Well I am getting the error at the moment. Rather irritating since I just got home and would like to play some MW2.
 
It's just speculation, but I think this is what really happen... it 's most plausible IMO, but then it's pretty bad too cause we will have troubles to get an FW update / fix.
Found on yahoo answers:

It is not a network issue. The error is from a bad code written into the date program for leap year (February 28th). It is a firmware error that will need to be updated. This error only effects older version PS3s (Fats, not the slim version). This error is caused even if your system is not connected to the internet. Hopefully sony will release an update soon.

That would make sense if this was a leap year, but it isn't. Further, it would be the 29th then, and why didn't we have this problem last February 28th?
 
Whatever the problem is, my downloaded games, pixeljunk monsters and wipeout, don't exist anymore, except in demo form. Not good.

Leap Year isn't for another two years... but after reading this thread I went and turned on my launch 3yr PS3 and right away I noticed something wasn't right as the default theme color had changed back to December's Gray & White background when it should be showing February's Green background.

That's when I also noticed the date and time were no longer correct. Instead of 2/28/2010 9:40 PM it is saying it is 12/31/1999 5:38 PM, so clearly something regarding the date and time is not right.

However, I went to the Date and Time settings menu and while it would not let me set it automatically via the internet, I was able to change it manually.

That said, when I tried to log into the PSN, I am getting the 800105F error code.

I checked the PS3 web browser, and it works fine, so I knew the Internet connection wasn't the issue.

I then tried signing in on my other regional PSN accounts, like JP, HK, and UK, and none of them would allow me to sign in to the PSN, all resulting in the same pop-up error message as before.

The next logical step was to change the date to a past date, but that made no difference, and I was still getting the same error message.

It may be a coincidence, but it is interesting that on the same date this happened, SCEA made a huge change to their website and official forums.

I also did a search on Sony's official PSN forum for that error message, and until today there was no report of that error message before.

Doh, yeah, that's right, I just took it for real when the guy wrote that, cause in theory, it makes sense.
Still I find it remarkable it happened on the 28th of February and also the date got resetted apperantly( haven't check this myself,yet). :odd:

Did Sony fix it yet?
 
31/1/1999.

I'm going for a pint to celebrate the Millennium!

:cheers:

Same here, I'm sure what ever the issue is it'll get fixed, and me worrying about it isn't going to make it any better.

Meet you at the virtual pub, first round is on me. :D
 
Members here are reporting this issue all over the forums. It's actually quite funny. There's a post in the NFS Shift Forum, one in the GT PSP Time Attack thread, and actually a full thread dedicated to the error, so now all the info is jumbled all over the place. :lol:
 
Official SonyPlaystation Twitter Update
PSN status update: We're narrowing down the issue and continue to work to restore service to all. Updates as soon as we have them.
