I think that the PS3 hardware should have been open from the beginning, if anything this guy provided a service. Hell, the game hackers are a far darker shade of gray and I support some of the things they do, mainly conveinience and the no-bullshit releases they have. If companies didn't act like they owned the hardware after a sale, then maybe all this shit wouldn't be happenig in the first place.

god. how did sony act like they owned your hardware?

don'rt you even think this is not about your hardware it's about protecting PSN!

WHEN GEOHOT DID HIS HACK he knew that it could be used to bypass PSN PROTECTION AND ENCRYPTION

thus it could also be used as a vector into people's personal information or hack someone's account or worse steal credit card info.

but that's alright because Geohot is just hacking the PS3 HARDWARE right?.

He did know what would have happened if he released his hack to the internet.

so it's alright for anyone to come into PSN and take what they want even your Info, but is somehow Sony's fault for trying to protect consumer's from theft?

 

Wait, so your whole argument rests on the case that the PS3 can be used to hack other PS3s? Can you show me a proof of concept of this please? Because to steal information not only do you have to bypass your own encryption, but also the remote host's encryption, which I haven't seen anyone d yet.
