Thread reported I hope mods ban you damyouall, because you have no idea what CFW could do to people's PS3's when it does come out.

How juvenile

Reported you for making highly ignorant and misleading statements about CFW, I hope mods ban you as well.

If you knew ANYTHING about what CFW was about then you would know there is virtually no maleware for CFW consoles, PSP for example has had 1 "virus" written for it that I can recall and it was causing bricks, however in most cases CFW is tested as much or more then OFW and is, for the most part just as stable and reliable.

 

obviously the poster of this thread does not know the rules, I am pretty sure it is against rules to post anything related to hacks, in this case posting any info in here about CFW is a bad idea.

also what i said was not wrong,  I am not being juvenile, beleive it or not some of us are against CFW coming to PS3, please try harder next time to insult me.

 

Just one major problem with your logic here. Hacks are designed to access functions within a device which were either not available at the time of sale or not marketted to work with a certain device. As the "otherOS" function was both present when units were sold and marketted as a feature of the PS3, if the CFW is designed to metrely restore the "otherOS" then it is merely restoring a feature which owners of the console were entitled to to begin with (in the case of older model PS3 owners). As such CFW which was specifically designed to work around FW3.21 cannot be classed as a hack. If anything, as Sony have acted illegally in many countries under consumer protection laws, legally this CFW would have to be classed as indirect restitution.

Furthermore if you want to blame anyone for CFW coming to the PS3, blame Sony for thinking that they were big and bad enough that the consumer protection laws of countries they export to, simply don't apply to them.
