Although there were ways to use pirated discs on one of the early firmwares, I think this is mostly the reason why we don't see a hacking (pirating) scene on the PS3 like the 360 has. A lot of the time hacking for homebrew and pirating goes hand in hand (unfortunately), and with Linux (although semi-crippled) available on the console also I doubt there is going to be any sort of hack available on the machine for a while, if ever.
Last gen was great for homebrew, with it running easily on all three consoles (XBMC plus many emulators ftw) - now in the age of constant firmware updates, the best we can get is the Wii homebrew channel (currently in a cat & mouse firmware game with nintendo), and the Linux on 360 hack, which only works on an older firmware revision, and is fairly difficult to pull off from what I remember.
