On February 28, 2010, many thought this is the end of their Playstation 3′s (many called this event ApocalyPS3), because many of the original PS3′s (PS3 Fat or non-slim) was affected by a bug on the internal system clock which was like doomsday to many hardcore gamers who cannot go online and cannot play their PS3′s. The root of the problem was the consoles clock was reset to December 31, 1999.

8001050F was the code most of the users encountered and most users were unable to sign in to Playstation Network, play games, use dynamic themes and sync trophies. On March 1, Sony stated that the affected models incorrectly identified 2010 as a leap year was already fixed.
