I could only imagine the law suits that would come if sony even tried to black list PS3's from playing Blu-ray movies or games,

after all thats what you got the system for, now what ever about them banning you from PSN they would have grounds to do that but if they ever stopped you from playing movies or games then that would be grounds to sue and id imagine alot of poeple would do just that and win...

Hell even MS will only ban you from live if your drive fw is flashed so the is no way would sony or any other company get away with doing that..

They can do it individually, so they probably have sufficent proof that your PS3 has been compromised with a CFW, which gives them the right to add your PS3's device key in future Blu-Ray blacklist.

Its similar to M$ blacklisting cracked CD keys and I don't think they got into any lawsuit for that.

Blacklisting an OS that you never payed for, and blacklisting a console that you did pay for is not the same thing.

the is no way sony would be able to do it without getting sued and trust me alot of people would sue if they did start doing this.

the worst thing they could do is just ban you from PSN anything else and they are taking away something you payed for.

I payed for my Ps3 to play games on how ever i see fit, if sony took that right away from me then that is grounds to sue.

Well.. I don't want to get into another heated debate about what they can or can't do.. but they already blacklisted cracked players on the market without any lawsuit shots fired. They have yet to blacklist any PS3 because it has yet to be cracked but if mr.geohot decides to go further, the consequence of people using his CFW could be having their PS3 blacklisted for FUTURE Blu-Ray movies/games. That is all I am going to say. It is up to you to decide if you want to go through with the risks.
