Sony is just buying time. Sooner or later someone is going to hack the PS3 and users will be able to install whatever they want.

- sp332 17y agoOne of the Wii hackers who gave a presentation at the 25th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin said that the only reason the PS3 hadn't been completely hacked yet is that you could already do most of what the hackers and homebrewers wanted, without modchips or removing the hypervisor. http://www.flickr.com/photos/55502932@N00/4314288066/sizes/o/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/55502932@N00/4314288066/sizes/o... Now that you can't boot other OS's, the PS3 hacks are only going to get more intense.
- TeHCrAzY 17y agoInteresting. My assumption was mostly that piracy motivated the hacks, and running "homebrew" was a minor aside. This was mostly the case with the PSP custom firmware scene, at the very least.
- sp332 17y agoHomebrewers and pirates are surprisingly distinct groups.
