I did both because both lack various important fuctions such as region free games. The PS3 doesn't lack ANY and hasn't benefited FOR SHIT. His own actions annoy the fuck out of me, too - he's an attention whore.

So homebrew is only good when it benefits you? I've heard several people who came through the IM that used to be on this site who said they used Linux for the great multimedia properties, and emulator use. In fact that would be the only reason why I would use Linux on the PS3 because the media playback on the PS OS is kind of weak.

And CFW might open up so many more games for people. Just think, what if people started making fan translations of games like they do on the DS! Or heck b/c :D

Plus you complaining about Geohot just gives him more of that attention that he is looking for ;)

I can't (not) complain. And yeah, hacking is only good when there's room for benefit or somebody tries to extract benefit - but the PS3 has neither. Linux on the PS3 was infinitely slow and the homebrew... let's say... "rudimentary". There isn't a lot of games that you can patch, either, and nobody will be interested since Japanese imports are goddamn expensive.

Media playback is incredible on the PS3 Media Center. No less. B/C? Get a PS2. That's what I say about all B/C cases.
