| Damnyouall said: For the n00bies who don't get it: This is game over for PS3's security. We can now sign any code; indistinguishable from Sony's own signature, and execute it on any PS3 (any firmeware, too!) without the need for any hardware-mod or even a jailbreak dongle. And Sony can't revoke the previous keys because that would render ALL old games unplayable.

I told you so:
Remember my enraged posts from back when Sony stole Linux from previously sold consoles? Just like predicted in March, they painted a HUGE target on their backs with their idiotic, short-sighted (and illegal!) action, that really prevented nothing. Now they got what they deserved, in a worse way than anyone could have possibly imagined. No doubt, this will hurt them dearly. This is a huge victory for consumer rights: We got back what they stole, and then some. Maybe next time they'll think twice before REMOVING advertised features from their products after the fact.

Better luck with PS4. And remember, don't screw with the wrong people.

If this leads to me not being able to play my games in peace without cheaters/hackers doing unwanted things online, then I don't see this as a "victory".
And this is coming from a consumer.
