| kingofwale said: no, I'm not shocked about piracy as a whole, there has always been and always will. Every console in the recent history has been cracked... except one. That's why I'm shocked is that PS3 is YET to be cracked. Considering how easily hackers like Dark_Alex can crack a PSP firmware, and yet the newest Sony console release is yet to be defeated. Do you think that Sony finally learned their lesson from PSP and got it right this time? |
I don't think that the PS3 is especially hard to crack. There's another thing: you can run Linux. Often pirates aren't the ones that crack consoles. They often lack technical knowledge. Mostly are the crackers the guys, who try to run Linux on every piece of silicium in the world. They have technical knowledge and an interest to find a hole to install Linux. For the PS3 no hole is needed. Linux is already on PS3, mission accomplished. So the community that tries to hack the PS3 is decreased by a big amount. And that's why it needs longer than normally to crack the thing.
