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.

 

 

By players do you mean software players for pc? or real blu ray players?..

And like i said even MS cant stop your console from playing games with hacked firmware.

Lets just see here say little johnny got his ps3 cracked to play copied software, but yet he still went and payed for games and blu ray movies etc,

Now one day he comes home with a bunch of new games or blu ray movies that he just payed for.

pops it into his ps3 only to find that they wont play, now multiply that one little johnny to 1000's of little johnnys that has just found their ps3 has become a big expensive paper wight..

You honestly think that sony wouldn't be sued and once they where do you really think that sony would win..?

Like i said with ms blacklisting cd keys thats for software that you didn't own in the first place so you would have no grounds to sue as you never payed anything for it.

same with them black listing cracked players you didn't pay for them in the first place, its not the same thing..

I haven't done much research but from what I know, both 'real blu ray players' and software's keys have been blacklisted.

 

Well Big Daddy Sony, sold lil Johnny a key card to a shared storage room and says: "Here, lil, Johnny, Heres the key card to the storage room. The key card will only allow you to take what you own, you can't take things that don't belong to you"

Lil, Johnny goes and modifies his keycard so he can get access to everyone elses storage.

Big Daddy Sony, gets report that things are being stolen, he checks the log and found that some key cards have been modified and was able to access things that they shouldn't. Big daddy Sony, goes to the card reader and fixed it so it will reject all modifed key cards.

Do you honestly think lil Johnny has the right to complain that his key card got rejected?

CFW, allow you to access things that you don't own and having those access put you on the suspcion list when things get stolen. Can you blame Sony for rejecting your access? You can get your stuff out of the storage but you'll have to buy another key card.
