doubt this is going to lead to pirate games... they open the otherOS and unless they can put linux launching ps3 software they just going to play with the power of the console in linux applications... hacking the PS3 OS its an all other story... from what i understand, its going to pass another year before they come up with a game loader for linux and other year for getting all games running smooth, if ever they go that way!

my hats off to Geohot for getting this far, but i now have some real doubt's if there is any way to get to that secure SPU security  root key,

I am sure there may be some way, Hell Geohot may be on the right direction with a board shocker! lol, but getting that root key is just as far as i can see quite well protected,

aside from that there is still the runtime security to get unreg code to run.

I think it may be a clear problem the fact that since the Slim does not allow other OS installed, there may be a way for a live boot, but then there would be a problem of still getting past that SPE secure processing vault.

so i congrat George for getting this far, no easy feat that is for sure but i VERY much doubt this going anywhere due to the very reason of the way you cannot dump the SPE secure vault root key to gain full access to the system.
