lol @ report section. How is it going to hurt the industry? The size of PS3 games renders pirating useless.

GodsHand6539d ago

Yeah, and stories got approved for the toggle switch to play copied games on the PS3. If anything it won't last as long as people keep getting the firmware updates, and Sony loves giving those out.

shazam6539d ago

and why dont any of these "hackers" have an hdtv?

season0076539d ago

the cost of not ever updating the PS3 firmware

most firmwares bring great improvement to the system in a lot of ways..

vhero6538d ago

agreed PS3 would be pointless to hack maybe but bluray writers are in the £100-£150 mark now and will drop below £100 by the end of the year. PS3 is the only console not hacked 360 was hacked weeks after release and wii a couple of months after.

abcdog10006538d ago

because sony was smart enought to launch the ps3 with homebrew. u can get any app u want from linux

Yipee Bog6538d ago

Oh sh't, I lol'd hard.

StreetSkaterFU? The same guy, who was/is a major member of TeamICE? The TeamICE, who told everyone they had hacked the console when they had achieved *nothing*? The TeamICE, who shortly after people called them out, simply vanished? The TeamICE, who single handedly invented the trend of bogus PS3 hacks?

There were a LOT of people trusting this bunch back then. People who thought those guys weren't just in it to get some e-fame.

TeamICE, f'ck you. You have let down those who believed in you and abandoned them. You fooled people - don't expect them to cheer for you now.

If this leads to something, good. If not, it's just the usual stuff they do.

titntin6539d ago

Absolutely mate. Not only has every BS story of a PS3 hack been utterly fabricated, but this guy has a long history of doing this.

I had to laugh when the first thing he claimed was Running War hawk of a HD. ITS A DOWNLAODABLE GAME AND RUNS OFF OF HD ANYWAY!

The problem is, that the net is full of gullible people who will believe this.. "theres no smoke without fire " they say.

But this is BULL.

Oner6538d ago

Looks to have a VERY strong sign of being real. Alek (of Dark Alex association) confirms it as well as Mathieulh.....

titntin6538d ago

Alek is not Dark Alex and one line on that site proves nothing.

StreetSkaterFU - We know this guy to be a faker and liar. It will take a lot more than a couple of forum posts to make anyone take this seriously.

xsteinbachx6538d ago

Not only warhawk, but GT4 is downloadable. He has to be better then this.

I'll believe it when I see it. Tell then ... back to the games!

chasegamez6539d ago (Edited 6539d ago )

i guessing there will be a new firmware update
real soon

Expy6539d ago

Seem sketchy. Anyway, really stupid of this "hacker" to even say that he's been able to do this (if in fact he did) because now Sony will do all they can to try and find the hole and fix it.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle73d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7773d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde80d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy80d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga81d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199281d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga80d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman80d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger80d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box81d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion80d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7281d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7581d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit81d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14981d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7781d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
