whether the ps3 has been hacked or not, it pretty evident, the for whatever reason that the cons outweigh the pros' of hacking the ps3. mainly because hardly anybody does it on the ps3.

other possibilities are: ps3 firmware updates actually bring in new features (in-game xmb). staying downgraded (which i'm assuming you have to do in order to play back ups), will deprive you from new features.

also, you need to have the latest firmware to play online. log on to psn with an illegal firmware and prepare to be blocked. psn security is probably really tight.

with online mp being a big part of many games these days, is it really worth hacking your ps3?
