If it is an April fools joke it is a very poor one.

This is a very serious issue for Sony, the threat of piracy is looming and with the losses they have made on Hardware they need software sales to balance the books. If the system were to be hacked and pirated games to become available, then the damage it could do to the division could be huge.

A shame though, since I like Linux, and i think they'll give Microsoft and Apple a run for their money in the future, and that will benefit all of us.

The greatest iPhone hacker is working on the PS3.

I can see him alone being the reason they shut this down. To give you an example of his skill, he has been out of the game for a while on the iPhone side of things. The best the rest of the world could come up with for a jailbreak to the latest iPhone, was tethered (meaning if you had to reboot the iPhone, you had to plug the phone back into your computer to jailbreak it again).

This guy decided to take a look at it, and what the world could not do in months, he solved in two days. He is good.... very good. he goes by the name of Geohot.
