Presumably the hack would only work for non-network connected consoles anyway, making it of limited value unless you were dead set on getting use of your BD burner for something other than pirated movies.

Well you can play on Xbox Live with burned discs, so doing the same on PSN should be possible.

can you still? I've seen lots of friends dissapear off xbox live list due to playing burned games when the big ban waive hit.

Last time I tried it worked, but it's been a while, I don't have a gold membership anymore :/

Would suck if it was true and the next firmware update ruins all the work he put into hacking the PS3, I know it isn't an easy task.

what i heard is M$ bricks your console if you mod your 360.

I have no issue with hacking a system to earn kudos points, but when shit like this gets released I think the person that releases it should be given the death sentence. This is peoples lives we are talking about. A lot of people hate Sony, so it turn they are sitting in wait, hoping the hack rrives so they don't have to pay another dollar to them to play games. That is BS. This goes way beyond Sony. It extends to the whole industry, and its not the companies it effects. Companies can perform like shit, and if they are big enough the government is right there to bail them out. It is us, the working man that gets ucked by these hacks. We loose our jobs, and oppertunities to find other work in the feild gets harder.

I hope for the sake of every employee working on software for PS3, that this possible situation is taken care of.

knowing Sony they will do anything and everything to make the PS3 hack proof

The Xbox and the PS3 are two entirely separate beasts. The fact that it's taken three years for someone to allegedly hack the hardware should have illustrated that it simply has better anti-piracy measures implemented, some undoubtedly tied in to PSN.

That'd be hilarious lol :P
