well, perhaps sony links your psn-account to a unique ps3-id? then it would not be possible to make another account. i guess there are several methods for sony to identify non-ofw-ps3s. like on xbl, just don't do it ;)

This is my doubt too... Can Sony dp hardware ban???

well, they *will* do, for sure. the method is the only question :) it is not only because people could pirate games - cheaters will arise on psn and destroy multiplayer experience.

but, what does "dp" mean? or did you want to write "do"?

lol yes "do".

this should be easy for sony. a very easy way to identify hacks:

calculate md5-sum (or any other hash) from: mac-address wlan-nic, ethernet-nic, firmware. perhpas combine them, obfuscate this more, linking it to other unique numbers/strings they can easily read from the hardware. and link this stuff to your psn-id.
