You said that it's safe to assume that hacking a console is legal, citing pc and cellphones as reasoning.
You are making an argument based on a theory. Theory =|= fact.
We can talk all day about why pc and cell phones would be exceptions, and you can tell me how it's all the same. We'll never agree.
In the case of cell phones, it was decided that not allowing jailbreaking gave too much power to cell phone companies. In fact, the ruling on it is more related to the number-integrity case that happened a few years before in which it was decided by law that cell phones were required to let you take your own telephone number to a different carrier. The idea was that phone companies were locking people in unfairly by a customer losing their number.This is the same situation people with 600$ phones face today. Want to leave verizon because it's 100$/ month? Nope, not allowed, otherwise your phone is worthless. Cellphone jailbreaking ruling is consumer protection, not consumer rights.
