1. Geohot walked away without any problems m

2. Sony spent over a million dollars trying to prosecute him

3. Sony lost a customer(who bought quite a few PS3s)

yes, Sony definitely won

No. Sony kicked  his ass... read the document.

Geohot will ever do anything releated with Sony produtcs... it is out the game for life... that was the Sony's first and unique objective.

a hacker and everyone related or associated with him has been banned from messing with nay and all Sony products forever or he will be fined $10,000 and up to $250,000 if he sheres anything over the net. The haker also kept none of his promises about any settlement having to unclude OtherOS and an Opology.

Sony lost nothing but money from this while Geohot lost his rights relating to any sony product, these so called "rights" that he was alledgidly fighting for... did you even read the settlement?

Yes, Sony kicked his ass.

Wait so he can still use his ps3 to play games?

sony never had an issue with that, Sony got him to do exactly what they wanted. and apparently he is on a boycot sony proucts mode now LOL it makez sony zo zad

If would have costed Sony even more money in the long run when hacking tools are "running rampant" more than they would have been if Geohot hadn't just sold himself out.

Nope. I picked up what I needed to from the thread. And what was Geohot fighting for in this case? He was the one being sued... the OtherOS case is a completely different case ;)



Sig thanks to Saber! :D
