Last console to be hacked? Well they only took 6-12 months from when they seriously started trying to hack it. Linux just prevented people from wanting to make a serious attempt. No console this generation is as open as the PS3. Sure Wii hackers can get around Wii security, Xbox 360 hackers have to hunt high and low for an unupdated pre Falcon revision box but PS3 hackers can sign code as if they were Sony themselves. So how the hell can you not blame Sony when the PS3 is the most owned console in the history of owned consoles from the perspective of hackers.

Of course is Sony fault... the Hackers didn't do anything, it's their right to Hack and Sony fault to be hackable... I get your point...

So if you don't buy the most expensive and sofisticated Security System to your house and you get robbed and i were your insurrance company i would say it's your fault and don't pay? I like it, maybe you won't if it evers happen to you. Of course i don't want it to happen...

And about Linux, so Hackers are just cry baby that can't stand Linux not present in a console? Don't saw any Linux on X360 and Wii so you fail... people do things for their own benefit, money or prestigue... don't try to defend them, there are people who really want homebrew (altough i don't see the utility) but most want glory and piracy...

And if having Linux were enough to prevent hacking there wouldn't ever be a computer hacked... so much failed attempts to defend the hackers... stop the excuses.

Hackers have every right to hack a system they own. You may not like it, but it is their right. It really is no different to your replacing the ECU in your car or modifying it. The car manufacturers rights only go as far as no liability if it screws up the system and no warranty support. The hackers are no more responsible for how people use the information they gather than people who make guns are responsible for how the end user uses them.

Why should I care about Sony? Why should you? Why do you sit at your computer trying to defend a company which doesn't give a crap about you personally? Complaining about pirates and hackers does as much good as complaining about game prices and how the whole industry just produces 'casual crap' or whatever specific issue you want to specifically complain about.

P.S. The hacking only started once Linux was removed. If they hadn't removed Linux they wouldn't have bothered trying to open up the system.
