The 8001050F



If you own an old phat PS3 you'd probably knew bout this already.

problem:
It started on the 28th February 2010 when
phat PS3s are effing up all around the world.
What happens is when you start up a game
you'll get an 8001050F error
this is usually associated with online games
but some offline games are also reported to be affected as well
then after a while the PS3 will tell you there's issues with the trophies and it needs to exit
trophies and game saves WILL BE corrupted!!!
and also you can't sign to PSN

a pissed off PS3 gamer


cause:
apparently the problem was caused by the reset of the PS3's internal clock
and not PSN coz PS3 slims are working just fine

solution:
Sony could PROBABLY fix this with a new firmware update
but that's not possible since you can't go online with your now effed up PS3
fixing it with a file from an external drive COULD be possible...
but that's a very big COULD
or worse comes to worse
Sony could recall back all the phat PS3s in the world like what Toyota did with their vehicles
to date, Sony had sold about 24 million phat PS3s worldwide



though Sony tweeted that they're working on resolving the problem
i say its pretty much the end
basically the machine's completely useless now
so if you own one, you might as well give it to me
im in need of a grill :D



Basketball Stars get's custom gaming rig

2K games, the company that makes all the big sports games e.g. NBA, NHL, NFL etc, has been giving out portable xBox 360s to big names from NBA e.g Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul. The console is included inside a suitcase along with controllers, and LCD screen, remote controls and headphones. I would sure like to see a red ring of death on these babies.



Aside from xBoxes, Sony has also been giving away custom PSPgos to the playaz.
Below is PSPgo with a Chris Paul logo.
