hacking has resulted in almost nothing but bad results for psp and ps3 owners regardless of what the hacker supporters here may say... it resulted in piracy, cheating online, removal of features, etc because the assholes who hack usually don't keep the results of their hacks to themselves if that were the case i would be one of the biggest supporters of console hacking ever... but i can't get behind it seeing the results of what guys like geohot and dark alex have done

you need to refocus your anger at those that cheat and pirate and hack others. Not those that simply hack their own consoles (and telling others how to hack their own conloses is fine too). That is the problem with a lot of people on this site, they want to label all hacking as bad when hacking is just an act that can be bad or good. You should clarify that its the pirates and cheaters you loathe and not "hackers" as that just will make people come out to define the point. Hacking your own console for your own uses if perfectly fine and should not be looked down upon.

i'm quite sure this wasn't what ajescent was reffering to i'm thinking hes reffering to guys like geohot who knowingly release hacks that have effects on all of the specific console's community

Geohot did not pirate nor did he hack the psn. So what did he do wrong exactly in your eyes? All he did was utilize equiptment he bought the way he wanted and he harmed no one in the process

 

The people who hacked the psn and pirated were not geohot. If he had, criminal charges would have brought against him as both of those actions are illegal. So if you are fine with people owning the items they buy than you should be on geohots side.
