PS3 users are you thinking of switching to a Xbox 360?

Sorry ignore that last sentence. However GeoHotz did restore features of the PS3, and was sued for distribution of jailbreaking methods. I believe BC was one of those features, but I'm not sure.

BC is my complaint, and it's one of the features that can be restored with a jailbreak. Just an example I can expand upon, because I'm not sure what other features were restored with GeoHotz.

I have never heard of Geohot's JB being able to restore BC. He was sued for releasing/distributing the root key the ps3 uses to authenticate software from what I hear. That is the company's IP and just cant be released at will.

It's possible someone could've figured out how to create some ps2 emulator for ps3 tx to Geohots release but what came out first was how to play games you didnt buy. I'm also not 100% sure non-BC ps3s can even read ps2 games but they can actually tell when it's a ps2 game so who knows.

Root key allows users to do anything. I'm sure using it one could install a PS2 emulator, such as one you have on your PC. I believe a root key can do that.

I limit my arguements to BC because I don't know what else you would use a root key for other then backing up or pirating games, and BC. However I heard using the root key can restore the PS3 to older firmware, or return functionality.
