Holy shit I was about to make a thread and I just searched on google "PS3 error code resetera" to see if anyone had talked about this in the past months, and I see this.
I've been going crazy for the past two days because of this and the issues seem to have started TWO years ago, around the time they said they were going to shut down the PS Store for the PS3.
I've started FFXIII-2 again with the intent to finish it this time (dropped it twice since it came out but now I really wanted to get back to it and see it through). So I bought one of the bonus Episodes DLCs since they're cheap, just to test if it worked. Well it didn't. Then I bought a costume at 1$ to try again after going through some troubleshootings steps, still didn't work.
Everyone gets the same error codes.
I've tried everything suggested on official forums, reddit, gamefaqs etc. It sometimes involves turning off 2FA, sometimes turning it on, set a unique device password for the PS3 on the PS website... sometimes it's said to wait for two hours or even a full day for the changes to take effect. But be sure to turn off 2FA. No actually make sure you have it turned on! Or not. Restart router, yada yada. I even did a database rebuild of the console. I've seen people say that some of these steps worked for them, but for many others it doesn't. Nothing works.
Seriously wtf, I didn't pay much for these but what about people who are buying more expensive DLCs?
I've considered giving up and start the game again on PC but I've heard the port is awful and it's the third time I've played up to the point I dropped the game, so I'm not doing it again from the start. And I really wanted to keep playing this time, but not having the bonus episodes (especially the Sazh and Lightning ones) sucks...
At least it seems to be a widespread issue, I thought I was one of the only ones currently having this issue.
I've spent so many hours in the past two days on this shit, my god...
