No interest in pirating games will continue to buy,but will use this method if the home brew scene kicks off

This is only the beginning. They have a long fight ahead of them. First punish those responsible, then attempt to fix the damage. I really don't see what is with people gloating that it's too late or that Sony will never be able to stop it. I see nothing to celebrate about.This will cause more harm then good and mess up our future gaming experiences and instead of concentrating on making epic games, they have to spend precious resources fighting against this.Yet everyone is acting like the hackers gave you an early Xmas present or something. It's not the fact that if Sony will survive or not that you should be concerned about. It's what they might have do to survive that might hurt us the most.This is not the PS2.The stakes are much higher this time.

"Teh codes are out" Ain't gonna stop Sony from banning you turds that already have it. LOL! L-O-S-E-R-S.

of course they're going to BAN jailbreak because it will damage part of the australian economy & at these tough times the judgement given is very wise one.

@ the guy above

actually Sony can & will BAN them permanently from PSN rendering their Ps3 useless.also stop them from playing newer games by patching the code of the blu ray disc. ;)

Week old news

At above DONT CLICK ON IT THEN

Firmware is coming to disable the hack. Yawn. The PS3 iz doom3d

not many people are smart enough to make it and even if u are u will go to jail when they rat out who sold them it. How about the idiots just stop right now and take this as a loss. Dont try and be soar loosers and wreck your life more and other peoples.

If sony starts giving out rewards and psn games for catching or telling on people making and selling these things then ill be on board to rat them out if they just cant take there lose as a man.

LOL at the idiots that preordered. Hope they get they money back. Good job Sony.

I love how when someone who does something wrong can always find some reason to justify what they are doing. They latch on to any excuse. Linux was a feature that barely was used and wasn't even that practical. And that gives you the right to break Sony security and allow thieves in to mess them up? And please spare me the 'I will only use it for homebrew' speeches please. If you are dishonest enough to use things from thieves and criminals when the pirates start making cheap PS3 copies I am sure you people will be first in line because you still think Sony 'owes' you. Just stop with the long speeches trying to make what you are doing sound right. It's wrong and every other hack was wrong and no matter how you spin it, it will never be right.stuie10 you are a selfish idiot to ruin other peoples' fun just to get what you want or think you deserve.

Consumers lose again. Let say they disable coding coming from the USB ports. Well now you have a problem, whenever someone goes into a Best Buy to get their console fixed they have to ship it way out to Sony Japan and wait weeks for them to figure out the problem by hand. Its a loss for consumers if Sony does it but their still trying to contemplate if its the last solution.

They are all still using the same stolen maintenance code and it can be detected on PSN, so anybody dumb enough to leave it plugged in is going to get caught. They might just permaban accounts but with the court ruling in their favor, since Sony recognizes this as a violation of their EULA, they could charge a cancellation fee to your PSN account before closing it. It is not a fine, it could be called a Violation of EULA Cancellation Service Fee.
