"Phat" PS3 error 8001050F thread

It's very strange, makes me wonder if this is all setup by Sony to disguise the fact that the older phat systems may be nearing the once thought to be untouchable door, that opens up homebrew possibilities and other avenues of acquiring games. Of course they don't want this to happen, so is it not possible that this is not affecting slim models purposefully because the option to install "OtherOS" has been removed, closing the door on geohotz exploit.

Recently Ubisoft revealed that they will be running DRM servers for there future pc titles, meaning the end user will need an internet connection to play the game with the original game disc in the drive.
If Ubi's servers are down, or down for maintenance, end users will be unable to play games until the servers are back up again.

Is it a possibility that Sony may be implementing DRM on there servers to combat what may turn into pirating PS3 titles, but are only targeting PHAT models? Hench the reason why even single player offline mode titles cannot be played. That's just ludicrous, I mean come on, who is going to believe the reason that was given (dynamic trophies). I certainly don't.
It's definitely a possibility that they may be considering to have yet another safe guard in place.

I realise that information has surfaced explaining the differences between chipsets in launch PS3's and phats, pre-slim PS3 outlining that the phats with a particular chipset are unaffected by this "Back to the Future" bug.

I call bs, I think Sony is hiding something, and I refuse to believe that such a minor problem as an incorrect date/time would halt the giant that is Sony, who it seems have the longest standing security system in console history.
