If one can hack the PS3 and the other can't, I think we have a clear winner in the calculator wars.

A firmware blocking the code shouldn't be too far away. And then downloading and keeping the games on hard drives with many gigabytes of data isn't very affordable. I predict piracy to not have a meaningful impact on the PS3 business for Sony.

A few comments mentioned th code running using the PS3 controller... if that happens I'll cry....

An $80-$120 calculator isn't just a common calculator.  Wait a few days or weeks and im certain it will come down much lower.  And possibly with the PS3's own controller.  That would be a real joke then.


those calculators are almost mandatory in any university level calc course or bio/chem etc and high school maths (usually private schools)



Damn... it seems a nokia n900 and a Palm Pre can also jailbreak the PS3...
