if it's a completely new model and uses a new code, won't the people who purchased older models get shafted? I don't think the code problem can be solved short of launching new hardware, I am probably mistaken.

Sony and hackers have both said, the only way to stop it would be a new key in a new model, but i do agree anyone with an older model can still do the hacks

What I thought was, games will require both the old key and the new key to work on both the older and newer systems, in which case hackers can just limit the use to older systems. If PS3 is updated with the new code(somehow) what prevents the hackers from obtaining the new code in the same place? I really have no clue how console revision will help, maybe someone with expertise can shed some light on the matter.

maybe the new key games would be limited to the new games and older games left to the pirates - like remember they postponed GT5's release so they'd make it only work with the new firmware, older games still worked with the older firmware etc.

very hard to say lol

OT: i thought the discounts were for all the consoles?

GDC is so close now lol
