Let the purge starts !!!!!!!!!

Burn them all I say ;)

Here is the rumoured ban email:

“Important: Access to PlayStation ® Network and access to post Qriocity ™ Services

Access to the PlayStation ® Network and access to services on your Qriocity ™ PlayStation ® 3 system is permanently terminated due to illegal or pirated software and unauthorized devices on your PlayStation ® 3 system.

This conflicts with the “License of the PlayStation ® 3 System,” and the “Terms” of the PlayStation Network ® / ™ Qriocity and their conduct. In the unlikely event that the termination was incorrect, please contact the Helpdesk. “

Yes. The last firmware released took less then a day to crack

Great news, I don't play games like mw2 so it doesn't bother me all that much but I hate cheaters so roast those fuckers sony. Also with them taking goehot to court I doubt anyone would want to try and crack a new firmware update right now.

The beauty of it is that by getting on the banwagon so early after the hack , the huge majority of the people that will get banned are relatively hardcore pirates that probably wouldn't have been buying any more PS3 games so by banning those Sony isn't going to loose much if any revenue and will actively save some money ( why provide free PSN to freeloaders ?).

Well, contrary to what some people are saying is a 'desperate move' by Sony, I think they did this to be the 'good guy', especially for the press.

For example, since they sent out a legitimate, fair warning telling people "We can and WILL ban you, so unless you stop pirating and stuff, we're going after you. We're giving you a second chance." that seems a lot more of the good guy than Microsoft's move of suddenly blocking thousands of piraters without a public warning.

Sure everyone also supported Microsoft's move, but at least Sony's doing the "second chance" routine, and giving the foolish ones a chance to reconcile and go back to the way of legality.

guess what stupid pirates/hackers are also receiving emails from sony as well hahaha

I don't think they deserve a second chance...just my opinion.

They don't deserve a public warning.

I can admit when I am wrong. I can see they did figure out how to ban the DNS dodging pirates if the rumors are true. Hats off to Sony
