Thanks. I knew I remembered reading the PS3 had something unique, securtiy-wise, for each individual system. So does that mean that every single person who wanted a modded PS3 would have to go through the same initial procedure that the hackers did to find out their systems keys? And does that mean there might not even be a guarantee that a homebrew app would even work across all PS3's if it was built using an individual console? Or would that only require the public keys?
And don't worry, I don't expect you to know all of those answers.
