Geohot and Fail0verflow are getting sued

I hope Sony lose. I have the opinion of when you buy something, you are can mess with it in any way you want.

Sony will never stop this now, the next time someone breaks their system, just stay anonymous. Upload files from public locations etc. It's all about the fame game now though, can't blame them.

EDIT: Just a restraining order for now.

Thing is it will be stopped next FW when usb updates are removed and you have to do either on PSN or via a disk.

What are you on about. They could just put their own custom firmware on a disc.

At the end of the day, Sony messed up, they had a good 5 years and built a solid user base. Not everyones a pirate and will still buy games regardless. It's their own fault.

What do you mean it was rape?

She was wearing a miniskirt and no panties! It was her own fault.

Yeh, quite the analogy.

That’s fine, as long as it doesn’t affect me, but it will if a firmware update due to these hackers bricks my PS3.

Sure many won't agree with me.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but the PS3 has many redundancy procedures when doing a firmware update. I think it stores the old firmware and if theres any issues updating, reverts back to it.

Yeah they could but it wont work lol, a BD player checks certain areas of a pressed disk to see if its a BDR or pressed, a BDR has no access to these parts so a BD player knows what is or isnt a "proper" disk. This is in the hardware of the drive and hasnt been compromised and as far as i know is secure. Could easily be put on game disks or even requested from Sony so shouldnt casue an to those not connected online, games could require this to be installed before running.

Ahh, its early lol.

Piracy killed PC Gaming?

How about...

Internet gaming consoles that puts everyone on a level playing field ( same spec ) and makes it hassle free to play with friends.

Maybe this took away some of the PC marketshare.
