Well you can play on Xbox Live with burned discs, so doing the same on PSN should be possible.

The Xbox and the PS3 are two entirely separate beasts. The fact that it's taken three years for someone to allegedly hack the hardware should have illustrated that it simply has better anti-piracy measures implemented, some undoubtedly tied in to PSN.

He started working on it 5 weeks ago.

 

Not impressed at all.

 

Took 5 weeks, 3 in Boston, 2 here, very simple hardware cleverly applied, and some not so simple software.

So if it only took 5 weeks of effort, what was he doing the past three+ years? Biding his time?

Do you have any idea the complications of creating a hack for a console? I'm not sure if you've been following or not but ALOT of effort has been put towards PS3 hacking. If this does work, this guy is a motherfucking genius - on the level of people like Dark Alex.

Also, yes, I know a shitload of ppl who are still playing Live with burnt discs. I personally got banned during the wave that hit when Modern Warfare 2 came out.

Fun story.  Mac's are easier to hack then Windows computers.

They hardly ever get hacked because few enough hackers care.

PS3 is the same way likely. (Not eaiser... but the reason it hasn't happened is, not enough people put time into it.)

While you're right about Mac's, I disagree completely. When 360 got hacked, it's userbase was not even CLOSE to what PS3 is right now. I'm pretty sure it's the same case with Wii. Hacking PS3 is harder, it's as simple as that. Initially they tried to hack it in similar ways as the PSP, but the streaming limit on the hard drive pretty much massacred that idea. There's also the fact that Blu Ray was mad expensive at first. I'm not sure where it stands now cause I stopped following a while ago, but I'm sure a lot of ppl are looking into it atm.
