Hello,
The PlayStation Network is down at the moment. Sony Entertainment is working on this. The code is from the site not a physical error with your PS3.
"While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we're able to get the service completely back up and running. Thank you very much for your patience while we work to resolve this matter. Please stay tuned to this space for more details, and we'll update you again as soon as we can."

Error Code 80710A06??? Personally I think the network has been hacked. I don't believe any 'Routine maintenance' would take so long. PSN say the network could be down for a couple of days, so It'll be Saturday before we're all hopefully back online.
Hope this helps.

Hello,

The PlayStation Network is down at the moment. Sony Entertainment is working on this. The code is from the site not a physical error with your PS3. That code says - "80710A06 - An error occurred during the install operation (error when downloading game from PSN - network error occurred." The only way I have heard of to fix this is to reset the system to defaults. Go to the settings -> System Settings --> restore system defaults --> then restart your system. This will clear your code. HoweverThe PlayStation Network is down and this too can be in part the problem but the hard reset is what takes care of the issue when the PSN is running normally. I'd wait till the PSN comes back online before a hard reset.

I just got the same code it means you have violated the terms of the playstation network and have been banned from the network for a certain amount of time. It can be from few days to a couple of months to forever depending from the offence sorry for the bad news :(

This error can occur when the PlayStation Network is down, or when your router is not forwarding ports.

It does appear that the network is down, as stated here. However, you can still check to see if port forwarding is the issue.

To check if you are port forwarding, visit this site and select the router you are using.
http://portforward.com/
These are the ports needed to be forwarded:

-This may not be required if your router has an option called UPNP-

• TCP:
• • 80
  • 443
  • 5223
• UDP:
• • 3478
  • 3479
