I think Sony has a decent chance. In case you didn't realise, a phone and a console are very different. The mobile companies force you to stick with them even after the contract ended, unless you pay to unlock it. On the PS3, it can only run games sold by Sony, you jailbreak it to play pirated as well as homebrew (hackers' defence). Its very hard to call though, I think it may go either way.

I see your point on mobile phones. but the article is talking about the iphone. Even after your contract is up on an iphone you can't pay to unlock it.

The hackers could also claim that they just want to put linux back on the ps3.
