huh I am chilled, lol, I am backing up Sony here they said sorry and explained it is for the greater good, I thought it would be better if a sony fan posted this instead of just a random person, lol |
So all it takes is for someone to claim something "is for the greater good" and your fine with it. Nevermind Sony said it was for security reasons only.
They've never once actually mentioned piracy to my knowledge. So, how is this for the greater good for removing it because of security issues... that the majority won't ever expierence because they won't even use it?
Not to mention... security problems with Linux on the cell? Is there even a MORE obscure thing to design a security exploit for? If they don't bother with Apple why would they bother with this?

Unfortuantely I know so much more about this than you think, GeoHotz went to alot of trouble just to get this far, after thinking about it really it would not surprise me how much futher hackers would be willing to go, do not under-estimate them
I do not just believe Sony, I know alot of things, unfortunately, I am a programmer I can program in c#, c++, Java, Visual Basic and Assembly language, I could develop some nasty applications if I put my mind to it, but I am not like that.

Believe sony... about what? Once again, this security issue doesn't effect ANYBODY who doesn't have other OS installed? Yes?
So... uh... what's your greater good?
Stopping the phat PS3's from pirating? That's not the greater good... that's Sony having left a door wide open that they should of known would of been a probelm when they were designing it. Period.
They didn't they put it in. I feel sorry for Sony, but it's wrong of them to remove a feature they sold the product with.

right you do know developing HD games cost a lot of money, it is hard for a deveoper to make a profit in recent times, hence the reason why alot of them are going multi, now stop being silly please, this is for the greater good, piracy is bad.
Finally if you enable piracy on the ps3 via custom firmware I am betting you will have to overide it's security features, this will leave the door open to attacks such as stealing personal information, I am sorry but I think you are living in pixie land if you think people will not try and take advantage of newer abilities on PS3

People don't bother on Linux or Apple... why woud they bother on PS3... also... if pirates get their information stolen by hackers, fuck them they're pirates.
As for the "HD games cost a lot of money" Sony should of thought of that before they put other OS in to begin with... not to mention there aren't THAT many phat PS3's out there where it should make a difference. Let alone phat PS3's belonging to people who are going to want to pirate.
People who pirate a lot tend to not buy a system until the way to pirate has been created since you know... they don't want to pay for games.
The end result would be a small amount of hackers buying up old PS3s. Hardly catastrophic... and even if it was... it's Sony's fault to begin with.
