You can write whatever you want in a ToS, but it has to be consistent with case law. If case law dictates that something is allowable, the ToS can't deny somebody that right. Therefore if case law determines that it is legal to hack a system, for example a cell phone, the ToS can't take that right away. Likewise, if the courts were to determine it's ok to hack a console, then the ToS could not deny a person that right.

So does this apply to Sony in regards to the PS3?

If you think about it, the PS3 is a computer, not really any different than a Mac or PC. You have the right to hack your Mac or PC as you like. Therefore, I believe the court would have probably ruled that the PS3 is a computer, therefore can be hacked. Then ToS can't be used to take that right away from the user.

So if this is the case, my point still stands.  Thanks.

To be honest, I don't even know what anybody is arguing anymore and care even less. But if you want to declare victory, go right on ahead. Have a parade.
