And again, excuse upon excuse. Do you trully believe that? There is no way in hell that they didnt tried to hack it untill now, especially with a debated console like this. I call this BS. Also, why do people act all innocent about this? We all know that the entire homebrew this, and homebrwe that talk is just there to mask the truth. This will lead to piracy sooner, rather then later. So how can anyone even admire them? They are a bunch of nolife loosers, whom could potentially leave plenty of people whitout jobs, just because they need to satisfy their need of power and popularity in some way. |
And this is coming from a guy showing signs of emotional distress over their pet gaming console being hacked. But by all means keep up with the ad hominem attacks, I'm sure you need the vent.
Anyways, is it really great security when they have a huge hole like the one exploited in this hack? A security system is only as strong as its weakest link, and sony made a pretty major mistake. Its equivalent to boarding up your homes windows, install a finger print door scanner, ect all in an attempt to make it bugler proof, but leaving the kitchen window wide open.
Oh, and as for importance, this is a pretty big hack. I don't think anyone has found the private encryption keys for any system, not even the PSP. Most hacks work by some flaw that allows unsigned code to be executed - while this hack will allow code to be signed. In other words the PS3 won't be able to tell the difference between real Sony approved executables, and those written by hackers and pirates. So, with this hack any PS3 will be able to run homebrew applications, regardless of firmware and wether or not it was jailbroken.
This will likely make the PSP hacking and pirating scene look like nothing.
