I can see how Sony is probably upset about this and whatnot, but hasn't Xbox 360 basically been able to be hacked like this right from the get-go, and they've still had amazing hardware and software sales.  I personally think its kind of funny, but I hope it doesn't make Sony completely change everything next generation as it would be so pleasant to just have an upgraded PS3 where devs know what the hell they are doing.

Edit: Not to mention if PSP2 is similar to PSP, it may well be a buy for me, but I really don't want too terribly much to change on me.


This isn't really the same as the 360, for one you can't go online with a modded or hacked 360 as it gets locked by MS sooner or later and secondly people don't have access to the master encryption governing all 360s here the data in question is at the PS3s core so firmware can't touch it and the data can be used to sign software so the console itself will always see the software as legit with out the need of hacks running and Sony won't be able to track it as the console will tell PSN everything is normal. It's a nightmare if you're trying to stop piracy and this happens as effectively pirates can now sign the software they rip.

Ok, that sort of makes sense.  The only problem I still have is how do people mod games on Xbox live then, or is that a completely different thing?



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
