this is an outrage!

i paid for it with my own money and i can do whatever i want with my property!

what next? will they tell me i can't shoot people with the gun i bought?

Oh my god! Can you make your sarcastic comments at least somewhat relevant and funny?

Shooting people is illegal. Hacking your console is not

Edit: a better example(still not even remotely similiar) would be, I bought a gun can I modify it to be an automatic?

True, but pirating is.

they have been sending out emails from my understanding those who were emailed did in fact hack there console so it seems that sony already know which accounts have hacked systems and are warning them to delete there stuff and go to OF b4 they get banned

sounds pretty fair to me

those who have been banned already it looks like they were trying to avoid going to OF and i dont know if error 8002a227 is a permaban they could luck out and just have a temp ban

This won't effect those playing offline though, will it? I don't think many of the pirates are actually stupid enough to be playing pirated games online.

As PSN firmware gets updated newer games tend to require said firmware to work.

Besides that would solve issues like the current MW2 hacking...

It is a big deal. A lot of people will not risk it due to the loss of PSN and other programs acess. It will not completely stop piracy but it will reduce the level of it.

Assumptions ftw! :D

NiKKoM said:

didn't the hackers already returned PSN acces in their custom firmwares?

yep...

poroporo said:

Besides, playing offline with a 360 or a PS3 is just dreadful. Most games benefit greatly from online services nowadays.

They can play offline all they want. :>

I haven't played on PSN for about a year now. And maybe six months on the 360. Never on the Wii, and never on the PC :)

You're an exception, obviously. :P

I don't play on PSN, and i have a 160Gb PS3 original

Yes, but you use the PSN. The proof is in your sig. If you were a pirate, you would be detected (assuming Sony knows what they're doing). Just one synch of the trophies and you're flagged (or so I read).

I'm responding to the one saying that don't playing online is a exception... and my PS3 isn't modded. PSN is in auto logon.

I don't play on PSN because i don't like shooter that much... for Multiplayer i preffer local.

Whether you play or not it's pretty hard to not log into PSN.

I haven't played any shooter in a long time either but I am logged on the PSN daily, be it because most games actually try to connect when they start ( ME2, GT5..) or just because I am syncing trophies or mailing ppls on my friend list.

People seem to don't understand me... i log into PSN, I leave it at automatic, what i mean is that i don't play on PSN, i don't play online ¬¬

I don't pirate, but if i got banned wouldn't make a difference to me... i just said in accordance with dsister that also don't play online and got said that he is expection.
