| Kantor said: Sony hasn't really gained anything, and neither has Geohot. Sony can only be sure that Geohot will not hack the PS3. The same does not apply to fail0verflow, who actually hacked the thing, rather than just saying it could be hacked. They have received no compensation for the damage caused. Geohot has lost his ability to hack the PS3. He hasn't lost any money, so this isn't a loss for him. If anything, Sony has "lost" here, because they started the case, and haven't gained anything from it. |
Actually I think that Sony did win something. How many Geohotz do you think will go public with their findings on the ps3? Anonymous might have threatened Sony, but they are always hiding. They act tough, because no one knows their identity. I reckon that any other hacker who wants to mess with the ps3 will think twice before making it public. So, yeah it might have scared a lot of people.
