Probably Sony kicking CFW once and for all across all versions.
Nar it's just Anon having another whinge.
Anonymous have a problem that they don't know they have.
They think people care about what they do.
They think people know who they are or shall I say don't know who they are yet know the group.
The problem they have with being Anonymous is that no one has to give a fuck about who or what they are doing.
Anonymous is that homeless guy, who's drunk and ranting and talking to themselves up the street, thinking peopl...
And have you pay for IT! LULZ LULZ oh the lovely LULZ
The problem Anon have is real life isn't anything like the net.
it's not like 2 people in separate countries can stand in front of a Sony store saying don't buy anything, yet online try use a botnet of millions to close a brick & mortar store.
All the stuff they are doing is old hat stuff from the 70's and 80's when it was all new and no one had any idea of what was happening, so doing it today just seems all lame and most people don&#...
Linux as a desktop everyday OS is utter shit to be honest.
I'd rather use a MAC instead of a OS that was only intended for being a server.
That picture is the whole group of Anons, the others are just Hello, I'm Jane IRC bots.
Be funny if that guy got arrested for being a public nuisance.
@Reburn
Yes because Anon hacked his bank account/s and then put all the data into a torrent and put it up onto pirate bay.
For anyone to look at pretty good eh?!
Uh, oh. that might be bad but only for him lulz!

People keep thinking you can do any mod you like to a car but go and ask the transport dept if you can do that mod and you'll get a completely different story.
Like the exhaust has to comply with the laws of that state, has to be under 90db, can't be made at home, has to be correctly fitted by a qualified fitter.
And many mods are like that, putting on coloured tint can be enough to have your car pulled off the road by...
So he, gives away money under this reason "free of the DMCA and ACTA, and that private interest will never trump the ideas laid out in the constitution of privacy, ownership, and free speech."
Yet doesn't want Sony to have any of it's own ideas, privacy and ownership and any ideas/products they come up with must be hacked regardless of what the laws say on the protection of these products.
It's a 2 way street.
You can...
SO it wasn' Sony taking him to court it was Geohot taking Sony to court?
Then he decides it's better for him to settle with Sony because they were going to lose but his settlement means he can hack any Sony product he likes?
Hummm something seems up here.
As all the news sites must be wrong now.
HEY! now!
It's not just 3 tossers in masks sitting in front of a shop for 15 mins.
They'll do another DDoS attack and this time they expect it to go down for a whole 6 hours!
Ha that'll teach Sony!
The problem with not buying ANY sony product means not buying any of their TV, stereo, surround sound, console, hand held console, mobiles, DJ equipment, car radio, amps, speakers, music cds, movie dvds/blurays,blurays all together seeing as Sony would have licensing off that platform so could never own any bluray player from any maker never buy any bluray movie from any maker, laptops, notebooks, tablets, desktop computers, games, mmo games, walkmans, mp3 players, iphone players, and what ev...
@Senden
Yet you think the solution to the problem is to " rip off their stupid masks, punch them in the gut and kick them in the balls."
While quite funny if you did that for real, the real funny fact is you'd actually be more anonymous in real life doing that than the group doing DDoS attacks claiming to be anonymous on the net.
Also doing anything now is just pointless, I don't see why they haven't busted geohot'...
How can anyone expect tons of games when everyone keeps thinking every game costs a trillion dollars to make and needs about 250,000 people to make it.
No company is going to make a ton of games when everyone thinks like that and when a game isn't like that then it's crap.
The PS3 was completely piracy free, there might have been lower sale amounts but at least a dev could see what a game would sell for, for real.
No one hacked the PS3 really.
Not even FailoverFlow.
The debug mode came from someone leaking the firmware code onto the net.
From that you could get the code to switch to debug/game production mode allowing people to copy stuff to the PS3 HDD.
After that Fail were able to use the debug mode to get the Key for the firmware with linux to send the right stuff to the PS3.
If the leaked firmware had never happene...
@darthv72
Sony don't need to know if he has or hasn't.
A Sony product could be hacked by anyone and they can just take him to court for hacking it.
That's why he's screwed, all it takes is someone else to hack a Sony product say he did it and bang in jail for him.
As I've said before If you play with the big boys be ready to be big time rolled.
If you can't handle that then don't p...
I doo think Sony should have kept going, but it really depends on what Sony really wanted and that was probably just to stop him from posting up more stuff on hacking the PS3 or Son products.
I wouldn't worry about the Xperia play it's probably been rooted already anyway by the guys at XDA.
Hacking in general is still illegal.
Sony have won in this case because if Geohot does any sort of hacking on a Sony product even if he did or didn't then Sony can really go over him.
Geohot was never going to win this case, I doubt the full documents have came out or should I say leaked probably by Sony.
Geohot's lawyers probably worked this deal when he was off on his "holiday" with the court funds given to him.

1 PS3 game does not make steam the be all and end all.
