Sony made huge mistakes in the design of the security measures?????

You're kidding right? It's only the console that has put up the longest and hardest fight to hackers ever. And it still doesn't allow for a widespread method of pirating. But you find faults in the security measures.

That comment deserves a very hard facepalm.


At everyone saying they didn't make a huge mistake--

First off, I'm very much against piracy and I do hope this falls flat (but I suspect it won't), but just because it took them four years to find doesn't mean it wasn't a serious flaw.  It just means it took them four years (actually less than that since trophies took about a year, correct?) to come at it from that angle because they were trying other things first.

Also, to everyone saying this is too complicated--

It's too complicated now.  If it truly works, they are in their early steps and are still refining the process.  If they really have the security key then firmware updates won't do a lot since every other game uses that key I assume.  If it works then they will probably make it about as easy with the PSP and then it will just be the constant back and forth like it is now.
