Forums - Sony Discussion - Self-proclaimed PS3 hacker GeoHot: "DO NOT UPDATE" to 3.21.

Wow at all the people acting like the guy's doing something illegal.

And the comments about his hair or that he needs to get laid? Please... what is this, high school again? At least he accomplishes something in his free time, which is probably much more than can be said about most of the people in this forum.

Amazing how so many people would rather side with Sony than with other PS3 owners who are pissed off about losing a feature that they paid for.

I hope he does release custom firmware, If someone hacks the PS3 there will actually be a reason to buy one.



Omg Nerd vengeance has cometh!

balls will be shrunk.

F you geohot.

 

What sort of nonsense is this?  A Criminal for using custom firmware?  Get real.  If he made custom firmware to let you sign into PSN AND keep costum OS feature...what exactly is the crime?

don't you know what he does OTHER than that? =s

What does he do?

I never heard of this guy doing any illegal activities. Then again, I don't really follow his stuff.

Irrelivant.  If a man uses a knife to stab someone then uses another knife to eat his dinner the latter isn't a crime too.

thats true in philosophy but in real life if a normal man uses a knife to stab someone he won't have the appetite to eat anything.

I'm calling BS on all of those who are screaming "illegal" and "criminal" without any evidence to back it up.

This post makes no sense. I think you're taking an analogy way too literally.

 

Also the guy isn't doing anything illegal as far as I can see. He may be enabling others to commit crimes but should the makers of a crowbar factory be sued because of somebody emulating Gordan Freeman?

Hacking is illegal. whats so BS about that?

and before you ask why is it illegal? , look at the third party software sales of the Wii / DS and PSP. do you think these guys work for free? and work just for teh lulz? no they work for living, and because of some random nerd with no life they're losing their jobs, now isn't that a crime? or is it okay for someone to steal your money from you and you call "BS he didn't steal anything"
