Sony is gonna keep feeding us firmware updates that will be a waste of time, time that could be used adding features. Also, the cheaters online will start to gradually increase, especially if Geohot wins, which further steps on the toes of legit gamers who bought their console to play games, not some ridiculous linux function that probably runs 1000x better on your PC. I'm all for consumer rights. But when your rights step on my rights as a consumer to enjoy the console I paid for, then we have a problem. That's why I'm hoping Sony wins this case. |
I do understand what you're saying and I hate the few that abuse this hack but I'm more concerned about consumer rights then about getting annoyed by some pirate every now and then in a game or annoying firmware updates. Also, Sony and game publishers will figure out how to block my pirates and cheaters. MS has done a good job at keeping them at a minumum and Sony has already banned some people. It will just take Sony time to figure out a method.
I'm not going to diminish the havoc that pirates cause but my rights are more important to me. If Sony wins, this will set a precedent for all electronic devices and I will never support that, even if it hurts my online experience.
