I think it might be eminent but that would be mroe amusing than the call of duty demoting and all the call of duty hacks.

Also i pity when that happens cause of all the people that payed for it.

I don't think they'll ban over something this trivial, they'll just decrease the trophies to either the original amount or completely deplete them. You see that's the thing about PSN: It's free, no detterent, so if your PSN account gets banned you can just make a new one and start playing again without losing any money or anything, so they'd have to disable the console's online like MS did.

The only deterent is that you lose anything you paid for over PSN. can they even disable a consoles online. seems like they have an impossible task in front of them.

I think someone mentioned it before, they do have the option to disable entire console so probably have an option to disable consoles online. If they disable console completely there'll be a shit storm, so they'll have to stick to just banning it from PSN like MS does. And if you do lose the DLC, they can just go off to create a new account, fill it up with like 1.5k trophies and trawl online like pheasants with coloured wings. I really don't see the point in this but yeah.. Some people are just extremely vain.

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

I can't believe people want them so bad they cheat to get them. I would find it incredibly boring to get them that way and it would take all the fun out of gaming.

Exactly!

In all seriousness, it's a shame this kind of thing arises because the homebrew scene can be so cool. I remember when we took an xbox and turned it from a measly little video game console to awesome emulator and media player.
