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.

No, but they were more popular in terms of percentage of marketshare.
These were systems that people knew they were going to use.
Sure the PS3 is harder to hack, but it also had a lot less people trying to hack it because it's just not that popular... and they knew it wasn't that popular.
The Wii and 360 had smaller userbases, but those userbases happened in a much quicker time... they were "the systems to own." It's not like people hack consoles to steal stuff like they do PCs.
They hack consoles
A) For fun
B) For recognition
C) For people to use.
Before the PS3's big boost, you would of got a lot of recognition in the first week or two for hacking the PS3... but then nobody would care.... cause nobody would use it.

I'm going to have to go with perpride on this one. I mean the 360 was hacked roughly four months after its release, before the Wii or PS3 were released. Do you really think hackers knew how sales would turn out? Besides, hackers don't care about install base. They care about the challenge and/or piracy. I think it would only be natural that after hacking the 360, they would move onto the next challengers, the Wii and PS3, which the Wii they had hacked by the end of 2007. So even if they hadn't been trying to hack the PS3 before 2008, I would have imagined they would have started then (but I think it's safe to assume they already had been working on it.) So to actually say that the PS3 hasn't been hacked because "no one cared" is just ludicrous.
