yeah great I will write an email tomorrow and I will see whats happening.

Oh it definitely would be nice, especially considering how cheap and easy it is to upgrade a PS3 HDD.

I would love to turn on my system, boot up a program in my "Games" section and be presented with a nice looking UI that lists all of my PS3 titles with their boxarts.

I have that on my Wii and I absolutely love it. The games runs faster too. It did wonders for Mario Party 8 and would be a dream for fans of sports games, which happen to be worst culprits when it comes to insanely long loading times.

the problem is that jailbreaking phones and the PSP is illegal because your breaking the licensing agreement for the software on the phones making it so Apple, HTC, Sony, etc all have legal right to brick your systems.

Read the TOS one of these days for any piece of software including Operation Systems.

lol i know most people will do piracy via custom firmware, but I advise against custom firmware it will open the doors to worse things as to what I mentioned, again my view is the worst case scenario, but do not under-estimate hackers, they are the scum of the internet

Trust me, if it was going to happen it would have happened at least once in the last decade or so.

I on the other hand support custom firmare. Do you have a PSP? If you do and if you enjoy many of those great features it has, you should go ahead and thank those hackers you despise so much because most of those features were implemented by hackers first and later added in by Sony to try and get people to update back to official firmware.

Hackers cause Sony to add more just to keep up with them.

lol yeah using blu-ray medium will take a long time(with piracy), but what if they find a way to store and mount images via hard drive, as with the wii, yes you will need a huge hard drive, but that option would make it more accesible to many more people, why am I giving people ideas???

and yes I know about CFW on PSP, lol I never used it on my PSP, I have bought all my PSP games and don't need CFW, but I must admit they have made some very nice apps for it, but to be honest I don't trust CFW lol.

CFW won't do anything negative to your PSP, it just opens it up to homebrew and the ability to play your PS1 titles on the PS1 without needing to repurchase them, which is what I do with it.

It is also how you got your internet radio, Internet browser, RSS, .avi support, etc...

Anyways, don't worry about George Hotz or any other "hacker" since their actions won't effect your games at all, just like how it hasn't effected the 360 users games and the 360 has been hacked for years now.

I disagree with the "illegal" part.

Jailbreaking is only breaking the TOS and/or EULA between you and Apple (Apple being an example of a company).

You bought the phone, so, you can do whatever you want with it without breaking the law. TOS and EULA are not laws, they are just terms that you agreed to the company (which you never read anyways).

Finally, if jailbreaking your phone is illegal, won't you think we'll have a whole lot of people in jail by now?

Thanks. Yeah, funny, Sony protecting us, hahaha. This almost makes me think some people are brainwashed.

The fact remains that taking away Other OS was wrong (morally, legally), no matter from what perspective you look at it, and it won't stop any hacks. Sony should just reverse their decission before it costs them a whole lot of money. I wonder why some companies find it so hard to admit a mistake and only learn the hard way.

I'd like to hear if anyone else who bought their phat PS3 at Amazon got a partial refund.
