Great post, A+++, would read again.
Care to back up your opinion with some reasoning at all?

I'd love for my PS3 to be able to run XBMC, act as a central fileserver for sharing documents and media between my home computers, or have alternative codec support (such as MKV or proper flash support). In order to do this, I'd need to "hack" my console. I don't want to do anything illegal, I don't want to pirate games, I do like the idea of expanding the capabilities of hardware I own.

In what way do my intentions make me scum?
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Sony will now spend so much time with silly new OFW to defeat hackers that they won't actually add anything legit owners could actually use. And as it stands they are just wasting their time trying, but I guess they have to try or developers are just going to walk away.

No offence, but if your intentions cause other repercussions that negatively/adversely affect other users experience with their hardware through no fault of their own, then you can see why some get annoyed...

With any unauthorised hacking there is always a negative side to whatever good intentions you have in the first place, so please dont be so naive to believe that such good intentions exonerate yourself or the hackers...

You made the bed, now lie in it...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Unless you're one of the actual hackers, I'm not sure you have anything to be offended about.

That being said, I don't know why so many people want their PS3 to do all these extra things whilst being happy to watch the platform as a whole potentially suffer as a result of it. The PS3 was never advertised as being a fileserver or as being able to support MKVs, so the idea that people are entitled to have that support is ludicrous, quite frankly.

If it didn't mean that the entire platform would suffer I'd be able to understand, but as it stands I find it rather selfish.

The PS3 is designed to be a games console, there is no need at all to hack it to suit your needs, you could just get something that was designed to do what you want :confused:
As usual, the minority stuff it up for the majority. The people responsible for doing this knew that games would be affected, look at MW2. Its unplayable. Did they care ? They are selfish scum and complete and utter morons.

I know how you feel, I am in a similar situation, I bought a toaster and I am annoyed that it doesn't support boiling water so I can make a cuppa, really annoying! I obviously assumed since it could warm bread I have the right to use it to warm anything. :D

you need to use waterproof tostabags works a treat :D

personally i loved the psp hack as i ended up playing emulators and PS1 games more then anything else but its a different thing altogether when its an online gaming console.

i met my first COD:BO hacker the other day and although i didnt see any real changes in his weapons he seemed to down players very easily and he had played for a full 7 hours yet was at lvl15 prestige with all gold camo.
 
I'll be honest and say hands up i only care about pirated games, dont care about mkv or using my ps3 as some sort of server running linux, all i care about is not having to pay for games, if i can get it for free then i will!

I dont want to hack and cheat in games and ruin peoples fun, but if i can pick a ps3 up off ebay for £130, add a 500GB HDD and send over loads of games! well im a happy person.

You might think im a **** but unlike some other people trying to justify why they want this hack and avoiding the true reasons, im just being 100% honest :)
 
Some of the responses crack me up scum etc

Ps3 hacked rocks and hopefully some more CFW soon. The rest of us just wont update till its released :D
 
You want a server or media center then buy a PC. Hacking the PS3 is nothing but bad news for PS3 owners. It totally ruins the gameplay experience, to the point where some games are now literally unplayable.

If it just let you pirate games like other consoles in the past then fine, go for it if that's what you want to do, we've all done it at one point or another and I really don't care about that. But to do something that knowingly will have an adverse effect on ALL players, well that's just downright selfish.
 
You will always get tards hacking the multiplayer doesnt mean you should tar all the folks who like there modded consoles does it and call them scum :P

Would it not be a lot easier just using a low profile PC? New Mini-ITX PCs are good at this.

I already have a htpc/fileserver that's on and accessible 24/7.

This isnt about me wanting something I don't already have, or feeling entitled to something I'm not.. It's about me being excited at the prospect of furthering the capabilities of hardware I own. Of course, some posters assume i feel hard done by with a console that doesn't make me a brew or poach me some eggs - this is not the case. I'm happy with a console that plays games (I mean, I bought the thing!), but I'm also happy that the console's potential *could* be met!
 
I think you're under estamating the cooking capabilities of the PS3! Fry your eggs and steak on them.

OT: Darth is awesome. :p

Why would you do that when the PS3 can do it once it is hacked? That means more expense for no reason at all. When there is already a bit of hardware there that can do it but can't because Sony don't want to support a fileformat?

How hard can it be for Sony to chuck in MKV support?
 
Because he can go buy it right now without waiting for someone to 'hack' a console? And have a lot more capability than a PS3 will ever do right now.

Plus Mini-itx is smaller, more powerful considering NV's Ion chip, quieter and a lot less power hungry. No brainer for me but I guess I'm a little too retro when it comes to consoles and I expect them to just play games. :p
