SCEA is looking into widespread reports tonight of PlayStation Network login errors causing many left unable to play games, and even lose trophies, on certain PlayStation 3 consoles.

"We're aware that many of you are having problems connecting to PSN, and yes, we're looking into it," the company said in a statement. "Stay tuned for updates."

Forum members and e-mail tipsters are saying this problem is primarily affecting owners of the older model of the PlayStation 3, and is even causing users to lose trophies previously earned. Many titles, such as Heavy Rain, are also now unplayable due to connection issues with Sony's servers.

One theory points to an issue with the console's internal calendar, which is reportedly resetting pre-slim models to 12/31/1999.

It's unclear at the moment how widespread this issue is.

IGN has contacted SCEA for additional updates on what's causing these errors.

Update: Sony has confirmed that slim PS3s (the 120/250 GB models) appear to be unaffected.

Update 2: According to Sony's US PlayStation blog, the company has "narrowed down the issue and have engineers working to restore service even as you read this." However, despite more calls to Sony there's no indication on the time it'll take to fix – or indeed what the fix will be. More updates the instant we get them.

When I try to start FIFA it complains about not being able to load trophies and then quits the whole fucking game.

Gonna try it with the cable out, but my housemates are still at work and playing against the computer blows.

50% chance my old man has throat cancer

Shit dude, had a similar scare last year. Hope he's alright and if it is anything nasty they catch it quickly...

[gwa]

thanks, he's having an op. next week for it to be removed, I doubt it will be anything serious but it's the thought that scares me.

I have a strong feeling he will be fine tho, didn't lose any sleep over it etc

:-S

Best attitude to take... afterall, feeling bad now wouldn't change anything and I bet your old man appreciates a bit of calm. Fingers crossed.

Shit
My mum had a similar scare a few years ago, ended up being some hardcore throat nodules. Can't remember what treatment she had, pretty sure it wasn't an operation in the end though luckily.

I pulled a bit of loose skin at the side of my left index finger and it TORE HALF MY FUCKING FINGER OFF.

Well, it's not quite that extreme, but it's chuffing uncomfortable to type now.

[Dead Rats]

Not pissed off as such, but the barber's of Manor House seem to find it impossible to do anything which isn't short back & sides.

[NilsFG]

A guy I know just started complaining that he thinks it's shit that dubstep is getting so commercial.

Well then FUCK OFF I'm not the one wearing white tshirts with "DUBSTEP" in black on 'm, playing Rusko from my mobile everywhere I go and supporting fine artists like cookie monsta, mt. eden & bukezfinezt. If you hate dubstep being commercial than don't be a commercial tnuc yourself.
