Error Code 80710A06

Posted by on Thursday, April 21, 2011 · 14 Comments 

Hey Playstation owners. First of all, I’m disgusted to count myself among you. We’re a sad and miserable lot of Godless communists. Second of all, I’m sure you’ve noticed with the same sense of childlike wonder I have that PSN is politely declining to render services I pay good money for. Be reassured, a lot of people are getting this message right now, and have been for at least the last two hours. There’s nothing you can do, it’s not your fault, just bite down and wait for it to pass.

Have you ever wondered what code 80710A07 means, or the code after that? Hit the jump and I’ll write up a list. These handy combinations of numbers and letters will inexplicably make it okay that you’re not doing a thing you’re supposed to be doing. Enjoy while you wait for PSN to stop going all SkyNet on you.

80710A07: rip out this bad boy when you told her you’d wear a condom, and then you didn’t.

80710A08: use this one if you hit another car on the freeway while sexting an 800 number.

80710A09: ignoring the ship upgrades all the way through “Mass Effect 2,” then watching helplessly while your love interest bites the dust

80710A16: red-ringing your Xbox 360 while you watch “Ghost with a Teeny Bikini” and/or “The Good, The Bad and the Beautiful” on Netflix Instant for the 50th time

80710A17: buying a Playstation 3

80710A18: purchasing “Portal 2″ on the Xbox 360, as opposed to any other platform at all.

80710A26: using an Albert Einstein quote on your Facebook wall about the power of imagination/dreams

80710A27: Zerg-rushing on “Starcraft II,” but telling everyone on TeamSpeak that you “totally don’t Zerg rush”

–AA

    At least the system works. Lookin’ at you, Microsoft.

    I have been getting this error message for the past two days. Is the network itself down? or are they just blocking certain accounts ? The PSN is a joke, it’ so fragile, it rarely works properly. So are they people that are getting this message screwed? or is it a temp. thing?

      its said that anonymous is responsible for this but its uncertain it could be lack of protection

    No one’s sure at the moment, Amy. Sony released a statement saying it could continue for another day or two. Some are theorizing that it COULD be related to that anonymous group of hackers that threatened to down the PSN a while back.

    You are not screwed, though. There’s nothing wrong with your account. The network is down because THEY are screwing up.

    Not long ago, Netflix went down for 2 days, and everyone flipped their shit. Its hilarious.

    It’ll be back. Play one of your other games for a while.

  • http://padinga.com/members/laughingfish/ Andrew Allen

    Or play your Xbox. Which is what you should’ve been doing all along.

    The one on my shelf or the 4 red-ringed ones that preceded it?

  • http://padinga.com/members/laughingfish/ Andrew Allen

    You’re welcome to use my PS3 which has YLOD three times in spite of being repaired three times if you prefer.

  • http://padinga.com/members/maul42/ Maul

    PS3s are virtually indestructible. It must have been something you did.

  • http://padinga.com/members/laughingfish/ Andrew Allen

    Not really, I keep it in a clean airflow situation with no obstructions, play it in pretty small intervals, and I don’t even leave it on standby when I’m done.

    Statistically, however, you are correct. The behavior of mine is a little unusual. But frankly I find the RROD, which I’ve only encountered once in spite of playing my 360 rigorously for as long as its existed, to be a relatively forgettable problem. Especially when taken in consideration with Xbox Live, which I find to be a vastly superior service to PSN.

    Oh, and my PSN is still down.

  • http://padinga.com/members/maul42/ Maul

    I can’t call it a forgettable problem. I think Padinga, as a collective, has gone through at least 11 360s. Break could tell you stories…

    Still down.

    This is exactly why I pay for Xbox Live. My brother can’t even play co-op on Portal 2 with me on his PS3 in the other room because PSN is down. My brother and his friend couldn’t play MW2 co-op together with two PS3s sitting right next to each other.

    It is a really lame situation. The only thing more disappointing is their lack of news updates. All they’ve done is say “We were hacked. Now we’re taking an unspecified amount of time to harden our network against future attacks.”

    Gee, thanks. I’m really glad I just bought Dungeon Hunters so I could play it by myself.

    Gotta wonder if Anonymous and they’re just not fessing up.

    It wouldn’t really be like Anonymous to not fess up. They flaunt pretty much everything they do.
