Sony can thank the hackers for that. The PS3 is now a viable choice for amazing exclusives and endless possibilities with homebrew. I'm sure the ps3 getting hacked has no effect on sales right fanboys?
*sarcasm*
Every COD I've played was glitchy and full of cheaters before this ps3 hack. Is it Sony's fault the pc and 360 versions have cheaters too? Maybe they should work on their glitchy code instead of providing numerous patches that do nothing.
Go Geohot Go!
According to the new documents the private keys are now public property, Sony just owned themselves. I can't wait to see the reactions, I bet half the people on here will hang themselves.
I love it.
Geohot has a win win situation. If he wins he's free, He loses he Jailbreaks out of jail. :)
How about I send that message and a link to the site to all known hackers, imagine you getting hacked to death, best news I would have read all year :)
If hackers got pissed for Sony removing otherOS, imagine what hackers will do if they Sony wins this court battle. I expect hackers who were never in the ps3 scene to start attacking sony, by sending out DDOS attacks to PSN and anything Sony related.
So have fun with your prolonged Black ops downtime as Sony j...
You people are clueless, this is a desperation move look at the stuff they are claiming him of doing.
The tools are out, there will not be hardware revisions and can't be patched judging by their actions. He will be cleared of these charges and you can go back to crying and acting like you never downloaded anything in your life.
It's like they took the worst kind of fanboys and illiterates and rolled them up on n4g, I'd rather listen to britney s...
I love how people comment and have no clue what they are talking about. Sure PC's have emulators and sure you can buy a cable but where is the convenience.
That's as if someone told you why do you like console shooters, pc shooters play wayyy better. Why get a console when a pc is more powerful and output better graphics. Everything is about convenience, why would I have my laptop connected to the tv to play my games. Let's see boot up windows, load emu get a dec...
There's already a pandora-like feature. It's called service mode, now that people have access to it they can recover from specific bricks, if it's a full system brick don't expect to recover. This is similar to the PSP, if you're fully bricked you can't restore even with pandora.
The end of gaming? Wow, what a drama queen. Tell that to Microsoft and Nintendo, they both outsold the PS3 and have been hacked long before the ps3.
The nintendo DS is one of the most hacked/pirated handhelds and it's outselling the crappy psp.
Some people need to chill, it doesn't affect the gamers and it will never change the way we play games.
To those complaining of missing save/game data menu in the XMB, I know, it's because this was a quick PoC, tomorrow i'll fix it. no big deal.
Quoted from KaKarot, and for the last time, Sony can't patch this....with so many articles about this, you'd think it would stick. Sony doesn't have the power to ban and keep it that way. The hacks are more advanced than the 360 or wii...they can spoof the mac address, they already have a way to change PSID, which is...
If you ever get the time or even want to research this they can do anything they want.
They can sign anything with the PS3 keys. Think of them as a digital signature that tells the ps3 and psn it's authentic. The ps3 will run it no problem as it's using the official keys.
Sony wouldn't know the difference, this means that security firmware updates are useless. They can easily modify the new firmwares and customize it, sign it and back on psn with ...
You do know what the ability to sign code means right? It means this can't be patched any security firmware sony throws from now on is a waste of time. As they can sign custom firmware to the latest and go on PSN.
The ps3 right now is worse than the Wii in terms of blown wide open.
Rent them? I don't think people have grasped that not everything involves downloading a massive file. Rent any large game and dump it to either the ps3 internal or an external hard-drive.
The problem is the PS4 will not support the ps3 after this. You will need the ps3 keys for the ps4 to have backwards compatibility. The keys are compromised, putting ps3 compatibility on a ps4 will open a door within a door and have that systen exploited.
If Sony drops P...
I've used Linux on the PS3, the reason why it was slow was because Sony limited OtherOS access to all the cores and disabled 3d acceleration. I do agree that this hacking the ps3 because of the removal of OtherOS is stupid.
The reason why OtherOS was removed was because someone all ready tried to hack the ps3 through OtherOS. 4 years or a year, it doesn't matter now. This new development isn't even a hack, they forced the ps3 to give out the keys. This isn't ...
Did any of you actually watch the video rather than commenting BS. This isn't an exploit and this wasn't done from leaked technology, get your facts straight.
This all started 12 months ago by Geohot a famous hacker who was the first one to hack the iphone. He glitched the xram on the ps3 and the rest of the hackers built from there. The PSjailbreak uses an exploit causes by a USB buffer overvflow upon bootup.
BTW, 90% of ps3 games arent near 50gb. De...
Stop putting out FF games would be a start. A Chrono installment needs to happen. Throw in some Xenogears and maybe a Bushido blade 3 and they're back in business.
Ya maybe for the xbox, PS3 has a long way before it hits it's final stretch, the 360's power is tapped, PS3 as you can see from exclusives has alot more juice left with 3d gaming...etc
A new xbox will come in 2 years, I give sony another 5 years,before the ps3 is in the final stretch. As usual once the ps4 hits, ps3 will still be supported by that time.
Both ate stupid, it destroys the game, alot of trophy whores keep looking at their trophy lists to see what they can do next, rather than pay attention to the game.
FYI, you can sync these trophies, if you have a spare ps3, you can do a complete backup to an external hard-drive and transfer to another ps3. Everything gets transferred, your profile and trophies, once you go online on the non jailbreak console....your trophies are synced.
Just a little tidbit f...
3D requires HDMI 1.4 to work flawlessly, Sony said it can be done with 1.3.
I'm guessing the hdmi cables some are using is 1.3 which is causing some of the problems.
If the old squaresoft came back then yes I'd welcome many remakes. Wada and Square-enix will ruin any classic they'll remake. I'd rather just keep them in memory as great games than have them as crappy redesigned battle system and shitty voice actors who can't seem to pick an accent and stick with it (Vanille)
When Wada decides to leave and if Hironobu Sakaguchi returns then they should consider remakes. Right now keep squareenix away from the classics. They d...
