I wish this had been tested in court. It would have been groundbreaking to have a ruling that Sony has no power over the machine's software after they sell it (which is the only result that wouldn't produce chaos).


Same here. I wonder what the full terms of the settlement are also. I dont blame hime for not wanting to take it all the way it was risky. Oh well until next time.


He can always ask for more donations.

Why are you so negatively emphasizing donations towards his cause?  All the leftover donations are put to a charity, btw.


How am I doing that?

you apparently missed the freedom fighters rap video!

anywho sony made him look like an idiot after all that talk, and as they wanted in the first place, he will leave sony products alone...sony won.


Then tell me how geohot was 'fighting' for us? 

And how exactly is he looking like an idiot... 


ugh again did you miss him saying he was fighting for our rights bla bla bla in the media (even in the rap video lol),,about how he was saying he will surely win, how sony has no case against him etc etc.? and not to mention this is the guy who were taking pics with philips T's on LOL and actually made the most lame ass song (if you can call it that) next to Blacks' Friday! Sony got exactly what they wanted :)

he came off looking like a real idiot to me :) I can understand why some might NOT want to see it that way even if it's the case

its a win for all the artists, developers, techicians, and most importanty legit gamers.

i cant believe some people are shocked by a hacker's lack of principles who had his legal fees paid for. lol

And that's exactly what Geohot is o.o 

But be honest here. How would 'legit' gamers be affected either way??

hahahahahahaha
really?

And from what I see we are still allowed to do whatever we want to our PS3s. Geo wasn't sued into oblivion as most of you guys were hoping for. Sony looks like it bowed to the pressures of Anon, as well as losing one of the better PS3 fans(he owned what, like 6 PS3s?) around. 

Well, you aren't exactly non-biased...



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

He developed custom firmware, and he didn't pirate any games. :) 

Now tell me what you would describe as a developer, and a 'legit' gamer

@Ethomaz

My sidebar lit up awhile back and you were the only new post in the thread. I'm sorry to say but when GT 5 came out, you were really getting on my nerves with your complaining so I blocked you, sorry ^^

That's hurt... you boycotted me . It's fine sometimes I even annoy me.

A legit gamer is happy to play his game cleanly and fairly without worrying about things that are not necessary. Exactly how does opening up the ps3 affect how you enjoy Uncharted 2 for example?

I'm not sure what you are going on about tbh. What did YOU think sony wanted with this case? obviously it wasn't money or anything. They started this case cuz the guy would not leave the ps3 alone, and now he has become a lil bitch who will be raped by law if he does exactly that....sony won. And what pressure by anon? geez. Afaik that situation is under control just fine. If you honestly believe that Hotz even slightly believed that he had a chance in winning he would settle for something like this? Hell No! Sony is the one who put the pressure on the guy from the begining and all the hotz fan and media backing did nothing to change that. He caved in and settled. simple as that.

and yeah losing him as a customer must really hurt sony at this point >_> I'm sure they regret it now alright

if the bold is true, you aren't either :) he lost, sony won, hotz is on their leash now when it comes to their products, get over it
