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.

Wow... you fail O.o
1. The 360 isn't hacked perse. The disc drive is tricked into thinking that the disc is legitimate.
2. The 360 was hacked into running linux at one point. It's a Jtag'd console. MS was actually smart enough to stop the hacks in a way that wouldn't get on it's legit customer's nerves...
3. There is Linux on Wii.
4. Guess what? :o The team that found both the PSP and PS3 master key only did it because of the lack of Linux. If Sony kept Linux the PS3 would of either taken a lot longer to hack or wouldn't of been hacked like this to begin with... Yes, you would have had the people playing backups and Geohot's original useless hack but you wouldn't have had all these people with the PS3 master code...

If Geohot had kept his mouth shut, people with fat PS3s would still have linux. In my book, he's an asshole. Not only that, but he had the nerve to release the master key, essentially dooming the PS3 to an era of easy piracy.

Pretty much. I'd beat the fucker up if I saw him, nothing good came out of his hacking.

Once again people will not apportion any blame on Sony, you guys astound me.
|
You shouldn't be. Certain people can't see the forest for the trees here. They will happily bend over and get reamed to defend a company that is screwing them. You can blame hackers all you like but the bottom line is that Sony removed a feature from people's consoles after the fact. Which is inexcusable. The PS3 isn't the first console to get hacked, but Sony is the first console maker to react in such a despicable way.

See... this is why in marketing everyone wants to be a "Lifestyle" brand.
Videogame companies are very much "lifestyle" brands. It started out when kids were either labeled "Nintendo kids" "Sega Kids" or "Weird/poor kids."
It's like all those people who identify with Nascar and buy Nascar beef jerky and the like.
When you identify with a Lifestyle brand you basically give it a part of your life and personality... which gives you as a company HUGE leeway.
