Agree with perpride
Infact there were more people trying to hack the PS3 then WII or Xbox because its HARD hacking the PS3 would be the thing which they can earn the most fame for. And if you are only one you can sell your knowledge.
Third is the PS3 Hardware can do a lot of things due to cell its very very interesting for hackers and homebrew coder. Its cheaper then an IBM Blade server which sots 10000 Dollar. A hacked PS3 could encode 1080p mkv I heard a lot of people on different sites to different themes saying that over and over again. A full opened PS3 is probably the biggest bang for your buck out there thats why the army buys thousends of PS3s and even they dont have full access.
A hacked pS3 can enable also the 7th or even the deactivated 8th SPE (not all PS3s hae 8 functional SPES but some.
Thousends of people tried to hack it. In different countrys with 5 Ps3s you have already a strong Computer Cluster. And a PS3 can run MAC OS X atleast I read that today on BBC or was it CNN ?
It is an PC Xbox and WII are not. A full hacked PS3 would be a pretty powerful tool even today, The Price is low because its sold at loss. A comparable IBM Server cotst 10 times more. Thats why all are so eager to have an hack for the PS3.
its really a fantastic and still very powerful system.
