A hack similar to the PSP one for PS3 would be disasterous to Sony.  Any hack that is extremely easy to install without having to even open up the hardware would spread like wild fire.

you cant play online with the psp hack. so it would actually help sony.

Yeah, that is a pretty bad analogy.

The PSP pretty much restricts WiFi/network use to PSN store access as virtually all online play is AdHoc mode only, meaning the only time most will ever connect to a network is when they are downloading something from the PSN store or using the *barely* functional web browser.

The PS3 hack requires a hardware dongle for the time being. Restriction One that will keep everyone who owns a PS3 from using one.

Restriction Two: any future firmware updates from SCE will likely detect hack use resulting in XBL-like console bans from PSN. Meaning, anyone that wants to use the hack will have to stay offline on that console from that point on. So, buy a second PS3 if you play online.

Caveat Two on a related note would be that future games may also have updates or require updates (like RDR) to the console firmware, which could also ban a console or disable the hardware dongle or ROMs loaded on the internal HDD. Meaning, future games that aren't compatible with firmware 3.41 won't run on a hacked console (running 3.41 as future updates will undoubtedly be incompatible with the hack) regardless of whether it's reading from a BD or HDD.

true. i dont see the hack being succesful. a main reason the psp is hit by piracy is because its big games dont necessarily use online. my friends psp got fried because he did a firmware update.
