If Sony neither cares about those models or has control over them then where is my OtherOS?
And it would seem that the PS3 was hacked pretty much the same way the PSP was, with a clone of a device that Sony uses internally.
I hope it is detectable. Pirates deserve to have their consoles banned, not just their user accounts.
That was a really good article on the subject. If it does indeed work like the Pandora battery then the people who are intent to use this can probably avoid having the hack disabled by not updating their firmware until their dongle arrives. Like the Pandora battery, the ability to install custom firmware probably isn't all that far behind. Which means that when Sony releases firmware updates cracking groups will be able to release modified versions that thwart Sony's attempts to disab...
Hmmm...firmware updates didn't fix the PSP Pandora battery hack. If this is legitimate, and I'm not saying that it is, then the next logical step is custom firmware that people can install via this dongle instead of using Sony's mandatory updates. This thing supposedly lets you run unsigned code, so as long as you don't pull another official Sony update down what can Sony really do?
Sony probably outsources this kind of thing.
Honestly, my first question was more focused on why a journalist would have such poor grammar. And next I wondered who else answers these annoying surveys, because I sure don't.
Caveat emptor.
Sounds like a scam to me.
If this is a hoax it is a pretty elaborate one.
Every single engineer? They'll never get a fix if that's true. Pair up their 2 best and they'll get it taken care of in time.
This is nuts.
It's probably gone from the crazy media frenzy that's driving people to the site. I imagine they have the cheapest web hosting available and they've burned through their free bandwidth already.
The pirates are certainly persistent, aren't they?
This story is weeks old.
I actually liked ET as a kid. I was young and didn't know any better. Levitating out of the pit by raising your head, pure gaming win! Running from the federal agent? Priceless! Calling Elliot for help? Blah, blah...
It really was a bad game, though.
My 360 with a 20GB HDD (which is actually 13GB) still has 12GB free. But with that said, I think that 4GB is a joke. They probably could have put in a $20 60GB HDD in it and not have made a dent in the production cost.
Piracy isn't the 360's primary issue right now. It is an issue, but it isn't the biggest one. For the most part the 360 moves as much or more multi-plat software through retail as the PS3, and there's no PS3 piracy. If piracy vanished tomorrow I doubt we'd really see much of an uptick in software sales.
Microsoft's biggest issue is that there's declining first-party support for the console, and that's what's going to kill it. Unless Microso...
All of that gum flapping about how Mass Effect 2 wasn't an exclusive because it was also on PC. Now the very same people who were crowing about it not being exclusive to begin with are crowing about how the 360 has lost one of its only exclusives.
So which is it? Was it exclusive? Or was it not exclusive? Because you can't have it both ways.
My personal opinion is that the 360 is in a serious state of decline and that Kinect is the basket that Microso...
Agreed. Microsoft's first party support is lacking, in my opinion. At least when it comes to the games I want to play.
I like Mass Effect more than Mass Effect 2, personally.
