Forums - Sony - "iPhone Hacker Claims to Have Cracked the PS3"

http://www.tomsguide.com/us/ps3-hacked-cracked-unlocked-iphone,news-5633.html#BOM_comments

"Famed iPhone hacker, George Hotz, who was credited in getting the iPhone completely unlocked and freed from AT&T's network, is at it again – this time with his efforts concentrated on the Sony PlayStation 3.

"The PS3 has been on the market for over three years now, and it is yet to be hacked. It's time for that to change," Hotz wrote on his blog. "My end goal is to enable unsigned code execution, making every unit into a test and opening up a third party development community, either through software or hardware(with a mod chip). The PS3 is a prime example of how security should be done, very open docs wise, and the thing even runs Linux. But it isn't unbreakable "

Five weeks after Hotz began his endeavour, he posted on his blog a message of victory: "I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I've also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip.

Hotz did not reveal which exploit he found and hasn't reached the point yet of running unsigned code (that he's told us about); but if things continue to go well for the 20-year-old hacker, we could be seeing a cracked open PS3 system soon."

So they are saying the PS3 has been hacked, what do you think it's been hacked for? To play PS2 games? Games on the hard drive? Lol, or playing burned bluray discs?
