joeorc, my thinking is that I bought the PS3 because it played games (something that is not at Sony's discretion like my access to PSN) and becuse I could install Linux if I wanted to (i never have). Once a game comes out that requires 3.21 then I've been harmed. *shrug*

Geohot's hack is not really a hack. As far as I can tell it won't allow anything to be done until they figure out how to use it to access to encrypted part of the drive with firmware (new systems) or access the firmware in eeprom (old systems) and who knows if that will happen any time soon. I do understand why Sony did what they did, so you don't need to explain it to me. I simply don't agree with it. That would be like recalling the new Camaro to cut its horsepower in half and refusing to perform any warranty work on cars that aren't de-powered because a few drivers caused accidents.

yes it is, he used a chip mounted onto the PS3's motherboard to bypass the security and encryption, that is the very definition of a hack.

and it still can play game's even new one's but , due to Hacker's breaching a part of the PS3 that they should not have done in the first place Sony took action in a Deterrent, in stopping it's use. you can hack all you want but Since geohot and other's now want to do CFW's they are by the very definition of try ing to now bypass the PSN security.

that's the problem, Geohot think's the rule's do not apply to him, he did what he wanted He even knew what this could be used for and again he decided to release it anyway.

just because it's still early in the hack does not mean that you should wait before it get's worse. this is mainly about keeping mod chipped PS3's off of the PSN.

there are already Mod chipped PSP's So

slowing down the hacking attempt's is pretty much the only thing they could have done.

some may say this will increase Hacking attempt's, but not many are willing to open up their PS3 to do it.

Some may Say CFW's would not need this hack, maybe maybe not we don't know but I guess geohot is working on it  we will see i guess.

I have all the respect for Geohot's talent's. I am starting to have no respect for Him though.

for ME I hope he fail's. Not because I would not want Linux back for myself an other's , which I would.

no I hope He fail's because of his attitude that rule's do not apply to him. The very fact that He had an open source OS on his system and yet he wanted to break the security and encryption of the PS3 in order to play back up's just show's that He cares only about himself.
