But what does that mean? What's the benefits? I'm quite unfamiliar with hacking, so I don't really know/understand the benefits of hacking a console? I'm guessing they're trying to hack it so they can play pirated games or something?

Contrary to what some self righteous people may tell you, all hacks are about playng pirated games. And a hack that gets pirates into the system proper will basically mean custom firmware that will allow features and apps that sony doesn't support. Basically you would be able to play almost any game as long as you are wiling to not carry your console online.

Problem with hacks like these though is that they never last. Everytime you see a "stability update" they would be fixed. Which in turn limits the amount fo people that really ever has them. Actually in this dy and age and with the only wy to play online being a paid service, teher is very little gain in hacking a console.

Aaah that's what I thought; piracy. Weird name actually for downloading an illegal copy of a game... Piracy is all about sailng the seas and raping and pillaging. I would imagine that most "pirates" sitting at home (in their moms basement) is everything but what an actual pirate is all about :P thanks for the info!
