| haxxiy said: I'm not sure of it. Even in the case you are right, there would still be the issue of a firmware contaning all the white/blackmailed lists that could be easily edited, rendering useless the entire process. Besides, if there was no fix for both the PSP / Wii homebrew scenes, I doubt Sony would go all the way to stop it - there is sort of a myth around Sony and the PS3 security IMO that they would go any lengths to make the PS3 a fortress of sorts. Yes, they had a lot of fw updates who fixed security issues and whatever, but most of them were second thoughts to, say, giving the XMB and PSN to what Microsoft and NIntendo already offered. Anyways, what should worry Sony the most (and the others too, for that matter) is the AACS keys leaking. Every PS3 released so far is a potential and unfixable blu ray ripper. Simply taking BD support like they did with linux would be suicidal, since it would obviously be deemed illegal and lawsuits would follow. The best things Sony could do IMO are: 1 - completely revamp the BIOS and usie different encryption on future consoles. Since those will mostly be sold at 3rd world countries, it would be very effective against piracy. However, due to full access to previous PS3 master codes and so it wouldn't be long until someone came with a modchip or neo Jailbreak. Anyways, it wouldn't be different from most consoles on this aspect. 2 - give the PS3 everything the homebrew scene are looking to offer - different browsers, Linux, 3rd party support etc. It would keep the big hackers uninterested on it and diminish the appeal of methods which could be used to games / blu ray piracy. 3 - release PSP-2 and PS4 earlier than planned if the worst come to be true. Honestly, we stand very close to it so far... Sony's bad luck has been of karmic proportions the last few days. |
lets not talk about PSP2 and PS4 as that won't help P3 in any case and SONY spet way too much money on PS3 to let it go before they make some significant profit.
although all hackers say they hack it for linux of homebrew,most just want to gain fame
i don't think somebody like GEOHOT will ever just let go
