And then THAT would get abused, too!
Problem is, people don't just find these exploits by chance. They go LOOKING for the exploits!
Oops...double post.
I think Nintendo needs it. Other M would've been even better of a game if the devs had more power and capacity to work with. Give it to them, Nintendo, and stop being afraid of the internet or hardcore gamers.
Dude, think about the site you're saying this on.
This is a place where a guy who says "kill that fuck" gets a "well said" tag and gets a million bubbles.
The forums are the only place on this site you're ever going to get any REAL, INTELLIGENT conversation, regardless of side, about that issue on this site.
The main site is just full of fanboys that have been, for the longest time, sacrificed their sanity (and mat...
"darkpower, stop being such an anti-Sony whining troll. you never used OtherOS so STFU."
Because I didn't really understand how to actually INSTALL it! Maybe if I was a bit more daring, I probably would have. Perhaps I should've been.
But what's this about me being an "anti-Sony whining troll." Go look at my comment history prior to when this Hotz thing began! Or are you too lazy to do simple research before you go running your...
"If he didn't try to become a glory hunter by releasing his hack in the first place otherOS would still be there not only that."
They did that because it cost them too much to maintain, they said when they didn't include it in the slim (how many times do we have to explain this?). Red Hat said it wouldn't be removed from the fats, but Sony wanted to remove it somehow without Red Hat getting pissed at them. Someone mentioned a security hole within OtherOS...
1. You were the one that blocked me because I somehow defined myself as less than a human being because I had a different opinion than you, and backstabbed me after I had defended you so many times in the past. Now I see why you only have one bubble and what everyone was talking about with you.
2. It WAS about OtherOS. What the hell did you thing CFW reinstated? What the hell do you think the class action suit is all about?
Jesus CHRIST, THINK before you TROLL! This i...
"Notice the silence of his supporters on this article? They all thought he was going to win, and as was said from the very start, he didn't. "
Because they still could win, because you are not realizing the true reason behind WHY people were, and still are, hacking the system: OtherOS removal, which N4G's posters seem determined to defend Sony to the death about.
You still have the galf guy who is going to fight to the death, you still have ...
Hey, as long as they're BUYING, free pizzas for everyone!
I don't think anyone has a problem with the opinions.
But there's a stark difference between "I think the guy should go to jail" and "I want the guy to die of cancer".
Thing is, how can we respect the opinions if every single opinion that's pro Sony seems to be laced with the latter? And how can we get through that there has to be a difference between one and the other when they bitch that they get called out because they think...
Yeah, because it's an absolute fact that Hotz did anything unlawful, right?
Jesus, people, THINK before you fucking TYPE and act like complete jackasses and embarrass the rest of us gamers that can act like adults. This is not hard!
You're NEVER going to be able to get into a rational, reasonable discussion about that here on N4G! Can't believe people keep trying.
See, the thing is that they are ALWAYS going to think that they are cowards because they are harming their little temple. This is because they are too immature to HOLD a rational discussion. They continue to wish physical harm on Geohot without even thinking twice. And even THAT would be not as bad if there wasn't 3/4ths of the site...

They went after Scientology and the Westboro Baptist Church in the past, and have most recently attacked the Koch Brothers (the people responsible for fueling the Tea Party and the attempts to rid Wisconsin teachers of their collective bargaining rights). They have been more of on the public's side in most cases.
To me, the demands don't seem t...
In before the obvious fanboy chorus that will try to find anything they can to discredit anyone who dares to do so much as even question Sony's authority.
I mean, I like Sony, too, and I think they have the best system and have defended them on a lot of things, but not on this. And it's with this subject that I've seen how backstabbing and how Nazi-like the Sony fanboys really are. Doesn't matter HOW many times you've defended them and Sony in the past. It...
Wow! You just completely ignored EVERYTHING!
You've also took Sony's word at face value like everyone else is doing.
If it's Sony saying it, it's completely correct and there's no CHANCE they could be spinning it to fit the POV they are trying to advertise.
If it's their opponents in a court case, there's no WAY they can be taken seriously since it is just Sony's word over theirs.
For one, the ...
After seeing comments like these, I have a feeling that N4G has, for the most part, lost it!
Fails to read ANYTHING!
Fails to address ANYTHING unless they can easily dismiss it with quick one-liners that prove that they don't have any knowledge of what is even going on!
Let's completely ignore EVERYTHING about the contradictions and their trapping people with choices that would make them lose functionality regardless of WHAT they choo...
The part they bolded:
"THE COURT: So give me an example of what you would find that would be relevant to either the merits or class certification on one of the named plaintiffs’ PS3 hard drive beyond that which would be revealed by their proposal.
MS. SACKS: Well, certainly one thing we might find is whether or not any of them are engaged in the hacking that we now know was a widespread effort.
Obviously, the people in this class are the...
"the people who especially on n4g defend sony to there death I'm sure will find away to spin this"
Look above. They already DID!
You know, if this retool thing works and all, perhaps it could make history as the first free-to-play MMO that is that way not because it's too awful to put a fee on, but rather because they thought it would be an excellent marketing tool that would get a LOT of subs.
Hell, I'm thinking about trying it at this point if the free period hasn't ended yet.
Yeah, because the PS3 is called a "COMPUTER Entertainment System" just because it had a nice ring to it, right?
