"This month we're focusing our attention on Sony. Sony has been in the news a lot recently: suing developers for figuring out how to run free software on their PlayStation 3 consoles."
They aren't and haven't broken the law. And that stereotype of nerds being pimply and not ever going outside is ridiculous. You should show a little more respect for the type of people who make your consoles, games and electronics you use daily.
The Hackers should drop the whole "We are doing it for Homebrew" lie cause their isn't 1 actual Homebrew game out there. 99% of the things in CFW is backup loaders for playing pirated software.
how is that hackers on one console manage to steal $1.2 million in games/dlc, yet whenever some ps3 hacker comes out with a comment, this site goes into attack mode
So since the makers and users of that one console didn't care about hacking, the makers and users of PS3 should just lay down and take it. Interesting thought process there.
and lOL and grammar nazi i can't wait for the day when people realize what type of losers point out grammatical errors to somehow disprove a point they can't otherwise with facts.
I say screw all those hackers, they've been the ones to blame from the beginning. They seem kinda thick to think that people should support them, when they were responsible for everyone getting screwed in the 1st place, all they want is to steal and cheat, regardless of what platform they do it on.
Yeah.. no. Stop being so ignorant. It is completely unfair to say all they want to do is steal and cheat just because some other people misuse the exploits they created. People like Geohot are GOOD people. They invest lots of time to open up the hardware that WE PAID FOR, so we can use it as we like. Whether we use it for illegal purposes or legal ones is a personal choice that you can't blame on the hacker. It's like saying we should blame knife makers for all the brutal stabbings that have occurred merely because they made these sharp utensils available.
"Guys, I don’t joke, it’s serious. And to prove it, I kept my word and uploaded all my HV [hypervisor] reversing stuff. Upload it everywhere so Sony [can't] remove it easily. Grab it guys, it contains lots of knowledge about HV and HV procs," wrote Chokolo, while publishing links to where the material could be found."
Holy shi... that guy is so gonna' get "raped" by Sony eventually.. He should just give up asap.
Sony, like every other company in this world don't like losing.
If Sony's really is using that three step fix (according to that hacker KaKa), wouldn't the HV and HV procs be kinda useless now considering they'll have to start from scratch with maybe a lil knowledge? Might still be useful for 3.55 users to continue adding custom features for themselves though right?
No, it's the equivalent of telling the ignorant folks to stop harassing the knife manufacturers for making knives available that were used in a stabbing.
Some people use knives for bad things, others use them for good. You can't blame the makers of the knife for what's done with it. And the same goes for the hackers, you can't blame them for how other people use the hacks. It's completely unfair. All they wanted to do is give us our FREEDOM to use what WE PAID FOR as we like.
Even if that was true, it would hardly make it "tragically flawed". But it's not true.
It doesn't matter what you bought the system for originally.. The point is that YOU BOUGHT IT. It is your piece of damn hardware now. So you should be allowed to do whatever you want with it in your home, and if what you use it for is illegal or legal is merely up to you. Just like with any other freaking thing you buy.
So no, your "logic" if you can even call it that, is the one that's flawed.
Microsoft and Nintendo dominated february's NPD sales.
How about we talk about something more relevant to the gaming industry like sales? Oh, wait... C'mon guys.The 360 and the Wii have been hacked "for years", and the PS3 hasn't...
Who do you believe "should" be doing better in sales? Remember all those "Kinect will fail!" articles?
Times are changing people, we can't all focus on how well a games suppose to look anymore.
Titanz: Last I checked, Wii sales are down, and Sony is poised to overtake the 360 this year. So it seems Sony are masters of multi-tasking. Besides, sales are irrelevant.
Aw, poor little mommy boys.
These hackers like Geohotz get more and more pathetic by the day.
I can't wait for SONY to wipe the floor with these pimply little nerds.
Email Sony all you want you dumb piracy supporters it won't help you break the law.
