I wonder if you guys would feel the same if the dude had posted a way to hack visa card transactions...
|
You're missing the point, since all hardware that makes those transactions IS owned by Visa, whereas a sold PS3 does not belong to Sony. It belongs to the consumer.
|
Visa owns my credit card ?
That's new to me... They may own the devices that read those cards but in most civilized countries ( except the US that are very backwards in that area) credit cards actually have chips and software on them...
These is what I am talking about :

Yes. Read the terms and conditions when applying. All credit cards remain the property of the credit card company.
|
Sony have their own TnC's about the PS3 and its security...
|
Sony have an EULA. The difference there is that a ToC requires a signature, and can be held up in court, whereas an EULA has little to no chance.
Sony are nailed to a wall here. Credit cards are cheap plastic. The PS3 is expensive electronics. If Sony gave the PS3 away for free, I wouldn't complain at all about whether they own it or not. However, to say that you pay upwards of $599 and NOT own your console is absurd.

I paid over 300k for my house and I can't paint it the color I want and I won't sue anyone over this.....
|
Really? I would be pissed. Did you buy a house as part of a housing gated community that had pre set rules or something.
|
Nope.
there is a HoA but it's not a gated community, just a standard suburb and I understand the rules. if everyone does what they feel like, it's anarchy, which is exactly what happens in online games with cheaters...
|
You're using an A-bomb to kill an ant here.
In order to stop cheaters, more security is needed between the PS3 clients and the PSN servers. Relying on security on the client-side will not work, and Sony are fighting a losing battle. They need to concentrate more on securing anonymous clients from legitimate players.
