Because I never did the research.

fixed a slight inaccuracy in your wording.

back in my day, systems didn't have firmware. They just played games.

nope its all to priate games

linux is an excuse to justicify hacking and changing propreietary software. 

only few in numbers would of sought out to change that. 

Tools to change your IP adress are already out.

Cant we all just effing game. This is starting to get very annoying everytime i come on this site there is the same crap being repeated. Sony took away features, Sony is a bunch of morons, Sony is D0med...seriously we get it already. This thread isnt really that bad im actually suprised the 360 kids arnt here already.

Their aren't really that many Microsoft fanboys on this site in comparison to Nintendo and Sony. This could be a huge problem for Sony if they start banning everyone and this hack is legit. Then they could have lawsuites on their hands and many legit Sony gamers could turn from Sony products.

Also come on JamaicameCrazy their are just as many Nintendo is doomed threads as their is Sony. Only reason their aren't as many 360 is doomed threads is because their are less Microsoft fans and Nintendo and Sony fans don't hate Microsoft as much as they do each other.

In the end I just hope Sony fixes these problems before they start banning everyone. I know if my PS3 gets banned I will flip. Not to mention if Sony banned me I'd hack my PS3 in a second out of spite.

Didn't Sony take away Linux support away BECAUSE people like Geohot were trying to hack the system through it?

yes but those blaming sony like to leave that part out.

I understand completely, but thats IF the hack is true. We still dont really know if what is being rumored is even possible. I would also like to say i am glad i have had a chance to read this and it surely needs to fixed if true asap.

Yea there isnt as many of them, however it seems like the ones that are present make up for their numbers by a few being outspoken. Im not trying to say one side is better than the other, im just trying to say that on this subject (hacking) its getting a little old/tiring. I prolly shouldnt have just layed the blame saying its 360s people, i just say that because the two systems are so much alike so i see them more because the two crowds just want to differenciate themselves. Anyway sorry for the rant, im going back to GT5.
