While that is true that wasn't my point. My point was that having actual, legit hackers who are smart, coordinated and just want to run linux on a machine go from having a legit way of doing so, to not having a legit way just means that they WILL hack the machine and games will start being pirated.

End of story. Period. Perhaps the same thing would have happened once all phat PS3s died and none existed but that time will probably never happen nor would it have happened on April 1, 2010. Either way, way to go Sony, you're opening the flood gates.

Why do people here seem to act like hacking things illegally in resonse to this is fucking noble or something?

All i see is "oh by golly buddy boy, those nice little hacker kids were all easy peasy and wantin' to shine yer shoes mmr. Sony exec. They were just trying to conquer the challenge and show their darndest skills, now youve gone and made them all victims" Bullshit. Thats all it is, bullshit.

This niave mindset that this punk and otyher punks who have dwindled th ePSP market, who cost game companies 360 software sales are some beacon of technilogical brilliance with kind hearts is making me sick. Give t a rest. This kids a douche, theyre all douches, if they were kind hearted and this smart theyd have a nice 6 figure paycheck from IBM, Intel or AMD or whoever the fuck would use their skillset. Instead the industry we all love and those trying to make an honest living in a legitimate market all lose because of these fuckwads. Give it a rest.

If anyone seems to "get it", it'd be you sir.

well it sure doesnt take much. Anyone who thinks even the possibility of the possible consequences is good is out of touch.

Yeah, its fun to rag on Sony but if these hacks ever see the light of day, its not the EMPIRE SONY people love to hate suffering, its people in offices, secretaries, small studio developers, actual families. These execs we love to hate arent the ones who feel the downfall from piracy, so i dont see how people say "Sony is evil or liars" The real people who would suffer form this might be people right around the block from you trying to pay their mortgage. Not Kaz Hirai or Jack Tretton. Some perspective could go a long way for the illogical who frequent these boards and fight the good fight against the PS3 at every opportunity.

But hey, its the interwebs so ill go back to streaming porn and watching fat people fall on youtube.
