Now will Sony allow people to use Linux again?

And have they learned that forbidding Linux made it more delicious for hackers to crack the PS3?

Just my thoughts exactly!

I wouldn't think it's too tricky for sony - they could get nasty and sell an unlock key with every game that's tied to the PSN account. - something like with premium content unlock keys or full-game demo unlock keys

Would kill rentals and 2nd hand market though


Would push even more people into PC gaming, which is a great thing as far as I'm concerned.

So go ahead and do that Sony.

torrents of PS3 games will most likely start to pop up soon if this thing ends up being a success.

You're late, there have been some PS3 games available for quite a while already. And I'm speaking about months, if not years.

Not sure why though. It's not like they could be played or anything.

I was about to create this, no need to do that.

"Backups" ftw in the PS3, congrats on SONY for holding such a long time.

Did you know that if you're looking at a 360 and turn 360 degrees, you'll end up looking at the 360 again? xD Or maybe it's supposed to be a joke? :P

Sony cant take USB ports out of the PS3 models, or else it would pretty much be a whole new system. Controllers, microphones and all other acesories charge in the USB. you wouldnt be able to transfer data into external drives ect. Only way they can combat this is by firmware updates, or maybe new chips in the ps3.from all the videos we've seen so far, it looks like its all been done on PHAT ps3 consoles. Maybe it doesnt work on the slims?

I think the joke is that yes, you'll be looking at the 360 again, but you'll still walk away (backwards, I suppose).

Someone even made an animation of that I think.
