What does the error 8002A318 mean? I googled it but there's no results. What happens is I try to sign into PSN but it signs me out after half a second, showing that error code. Anyone have any idea what it means?

It means that you aren't actually connected to the internet.  Your PS3 or Vita may show that it is in fact connected but the actual connection itself isn't working.  Your internet provider could be having some issues or you may need to reset your modem.

The last thing i did was:changing the comment on the box of the XMB profile. Oh and update it to the latest update.

Ok  i found a way of fixing this error.

Im gonna post it here just for future reference.

You know the users menu at the ps3? delete the user on the ps3 that is related to the PSN account that is having the issue.(error)

Dont worry,by deleting the user you wont lose you thropies or any othe online game progress,since it is attached to your PSN account and not in your PS3 system itself.  

So yeah..just delete it  ,restart the PS3 then create a new USER,then go to the PSN logo,click it and pick the "use existent account" put you email and password..then you should be  logged in.

There fixed! 

I hope this helps people with the same issue
