First rule of Sony...
Never talk about Sony. Second rule of Sony Never talk about Sony! So if you talk about something certainly that came from Sony, you're liable to have Google look up your IP address and give it to them. So not only has Sony installed a new rootkit firmware that allows them remote access to their servers, they want to overreach and destroy the 4th Amendment and charge these people with statutory damages because they hacked the PS3 to put on Other OS. Seriously Sony... I want some of what you're smoking. |

To be fair Sony Spent and Lost a lot of money to make the Ps3 "unhackable." Some of the price tag goes to the anti-hack dedicated processor, money and power that could have been cut to make a much cheaper model or a much stronger system. All for the sake of protecting their market. However, It still doesn't give them the right to do this BS (considering that the ORIGINAL PS3 could be repartitioned and made to do the same thing!)

None of which worked because it was cracked wide open in a few days, and just goes to demonstrate the problem I have with Sony as a business, and the problem I have with DRM technology in general.

you cant make something unhackable even if its a built in firmware you will see tons of mod chips to bypass it and thats assuming no one figures out a software solution that works. And if its possible someone will.
But here is a better idea, make a better system so we wont have to pull this crap. Stop limiting what we can do, its only hurting your sales

And which didn't happen until they removed the ability to put linux on it. And cracking the whole thing has now made it easier for pirates.

We are all on watch lists by Sony for saying the words "hack" and "ps3" together in a thread, looking at the thread, and knowing of the existance of the thread.

Now see, I'm about to start a job that would pay me enough to keep up with a console gaming habit. And I was planning on getting a PS3, not even jail breaking it or anything. But with this kinda crap I don't even know if I want it anymore.
Is this Sony's plan? Are they trying to stop the fact that when a PS3 was sold it was sold at a loss? By getting people to NOT want to buy from them? I'm just confused how this does anything good for them, but I'm not "in the know" on this gen of consoles anymore.
