Or so sony want's you to think that i hope who ever does this as soon as you turn on you're ps3 booooom right in you're face.

I am sure that they included a self combustion system in the latest firmware and now they are trying to hide it.

Does the "security expert" happen to be GeoHotz?

Lol, cause according to him, he should be hired by Sony to improve their security.

BubbleSniper5503d ago

melting pirated consoles sounds delicious.

evrfighter5503d ago

sounds great and all but it's going to be even more delicious when legit ps3's start going boom.

nycredude5503d ago

So this fool is a leading security expect who is in favor of hacking and hackers? yeah right I will listen to this fool. In the world of gaming it seems everyone with an internet connection is an expert.

Im sure he knows alot more than you...

Expertise and common sense don't fall into the same crowd 100%

You can be smart in one area, but horrible in another.

im-12-years-old5503d ago

You guys do realize Sony can't render the hacked ps3s useless right?

Only thing they can do is ban either the console or account from accesing PSN and playing games online.

Also, if Sony did implement a rootkit in the latest update it would only effect the hacked ps3 that actually updated to 3.56.

As of right now my ps3 is still on 3.55 with my emulators and homebrew still running, not to mention I can still get on PSN and im playing the killzone 3 beta as I write this.

Actually yes they can. Remember you only license the firmware, you don't own it. If you violate the terms of use they could disable the firmware. They just can't do anything to the hardware, that's yours.

What a piece of a written crap. Sony earned the enmity of gamers and hackers when they sued that brat ? really. more like anther one
who wants to make himself look like an expert.

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM3d ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum3d ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot3d ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.
