First of all it seems like many users in this thread (not you ethomaz) don't realize that this hack is appliable for around 50m PS3s.

Then obviously this is not another breakthrough, but it adds the features of 3.55-4.30 and it should make it far easier to play the most recent games.

Don't know much about PSN, but I guess it's still possible to access it with some work (and help from little tools and programs). Most likely not for the masses though.

yes, the potential mass is quite big. as with this hack one has "only" to find a quirk/sec-issue in recent firmwares to "open" many consoles, even with firmware != 3.55. but by now it just is progress in the previous state.

for psn i think sony could quite easily detect hacked consoles and will do the same as ms does - ban them.
