New firmware next week then?

LordMarius5621d ago

yeah
I am not expert on how hacking works, yet...
but wouldn't an update reverse this

plus this is bad for all of us since everyone knows new firmware = bricked consoles /s?

PirateThom5621d ago (Edited 5621d ago )

I'm no expert either, but I know the reason the PS3 has been unscathed, thus far, is because of the multi-layer security system:

If he only has lvl 1 access... that means he has read/write access... but the Linux and Game OS are lvl 2/3... so there's really not much at lvl 1 from a homebrew or piracy point of view.

"hacked" is a bit of a stretch, "exploited" would be closer.

Or maybe I'm wrong, I don't think I am though.

"but wouldn't an update reverse this"

FTA:"The theory isn't really patchable, but they (Sony)can make implementations much harder."

If this leads to anything worth getting, Sony can expect a huge sales spike. Crossing my fingers for something like xbmc (the irony).

meh doesn't mean anything, here comes new firmware and its bye bye. PS3 is not PSP

To patch the exploit Sony or any company for that matter would need to know where it is. I'm sure they might already be looking for it just to be on the safe side.

Dellis5621d ago (Edited 5621d ago )

lol at Piratethom being one of the first, dude it will never ever

be hacked, PS3 is the only console that will never be hacked, quit the

dream and get ready to play 59.99 for years to come.

It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong

It would be nice if they had the lottery in other parts of the world as well.
