Hey there, after reading up on the removal of the ability to install linux on the PS3 fat it had me thinking that I distinctly remember the reason that the PS3 hasn't been hacked is almost exclusively down to this feature. Basically the "real" hackers were cutting Sony some slack for doing the right thing including it.

Watch from 43 mins for the juicy stuff. The point he raises at about 43.30 deals an uppercut to Sony imo.

This is a conference the guy that hacked the Xbox 360 did a couple of years ago explaining how they did it. They are the best of the best.

I'm not trolling\flaming whatever just curious what you all think. I'd recommend watching the whole thing it's pretty interesting stuff.

They have already tried and failed.

Nobody thinks this is a big deal then?

Have you got a source HKN, I'm talking about the proper hackers not the piratre ones.

Sony trusted them, geohot hacked the PS3 anyway (and now don't say "because of the slim",for then geohot is more stupid than I thought,as he hacked a "fat" one) -> Sony closed the system

What Lafiel said. SONY give and inch but there's always a douchebag out there that spoils the fun and tries pull out a mile.
