PS3 non-slim owners beware (as of 10:15 pst 2/28)

[kozzm0]

I doubt many people will look here before trying to log in, but on the off chance, trying to start a game right now with a non-slim ps3 will almost surely give you error a message that your trophy info couldn't sync with the network, and trying to sign in will fail with error 8001050F.

This happened just about an hour ago, and the widespread panic includes stories of people's game saves and trophy data corrupted or gone forever, and even their DL'd games missing from their hard drives. You'll also notice your ps3's clock thinks it's 1999 when you first turn it on.

You may want to check playstation.com forums to see info on when the problem is fixed, and avoid starting any games or signing in to PSN before then. Also might be wise to back up all your saves. They don't know what the hell caused it, yet. Maybe it's George Hotz's fault.
