What feature do we lose now?

[Eamon]

when one guy opens up his PS3 and does 'interesting' things with it and posts his 'interesting' findings on the net

and then your master Sony is displeased and removes a feature to stop him

you get angry at the one guy instead of your master.

[MysticStrummer]

you would blame Sony instead of the jackass trying to hack their product.

[UnwanteDreamz]

Was there a point to what you wrote? All this stuff about masters and interesting things but you are talking in circles. I suppose you consider yourself very intelligent judging by your condescending remarks.

This is why I am surprised that you don't understand basic cause and effect. The hacker's actions caused Sony to remove the feature. While I may not agree with their descision, I do understand that it was caused by another persons actions.

Should I blame airline companies for increased security in airports and on flights or should I blame terrorists?

Your position is laughable.

[neolit]

Good point but your message did not get across well as you assume everybody who defends Sony's action is Sony's slave. Shame on you ;)

@MysticStrummer
come back when you are 12 - It is in human nature to understand how things work and yes, it translates to opening up your console and fiddling with it. And it is in human nature to brag about being able to beat the system.

@UnwanteDreamz
Sorry you lost your last job in the Bush administration. You sank really low, trying to peddle the terrorist FUD crap to young adults and gamers. Really!
On a more serious note - yes, for the increased security crap and annoying experience at the airports, you should blame airport security, airline companies and the governments not the terrorists. Terrorist do what terrorists do, and by changing the way we live and work we already gave them an inch of a win. Terrorist acts should not be covered by media and the government security agencies should just silently kick the terrorists back. The biggest reward to any terrorist group is the media attention they get. Also, do you really think that any of the increased security procedures put in place to mess with the lives of ordinary working people and travelers are protecting you or the planes one bit better than what we had before? Grow up.

Disclaimer for the stupid:
I hate terrorists - they should burn in hell.
I hate PS3 being hacked - I see no benefit in that.
I hate Sony for removing a feature present at the time the console was sold to a customer.
I love my PS3 :)

[Eamon]

MysticStrummer, it is the hacker's product. Not Sony's.

You must have forgot the part where he bought it rofl.

The irony here is, the kids who hate the hacker because Sony punishes them, literally have no idea what the hack is about. They then decide to cry because Sony took away a feature from them for a reason they cannot understand so they blame it on piracy lol.

[ChickeyCantor]

" Because of these stupid f**king hackers we lose the os feature.Hackers we dont want pirated games on PS3.So GET A LIFE DICKS!!!! "

As you are trying to beat your own score or get more trophies or whatever, these guys try to do the same with hacking.

Looks like you need to get a life as well.

And dont pretend you dont/never play(ed) emulated games.
You are such a hypocrite.

People getting all emotional,
Hackers do not promote piracy, however they do promote homebrew.
And nothing wrong with homebrew. Lots of lil tools that come in handy.
If my orginal xbox wasn't modded i wouldnt be having a media center in my room.

Hacking=/=piracy.
Learn the difference.

Those who promote piracy abuse the work from the hacker.

(This applies to Most hackers)

[N4Flamers]

What are you talking about?

I've never played an illegal emulator in my life. Hackers dont promote piracy because doing so will have them sent to jail. The truth of the matter is they hack systems to play illegal games and do other things. Everyone I've talked to besides you that has a modded 360 uses it to play illegal games.

My 360 was a media center without any hacks. I mean I could stream from my computer, it played dvd's, I dont know what else I would need.

[ChickeyCantor]

" Everyone I've talked to besides you that has a modded 360 uses it to play illegal games. "

Not the hacker doing that, its the free will of the consumer who abuses it.

They hack a system to challenge themselves, not to promote piracy. Those who want to play illegal games will put matters as they see fit.
Hacking usually ends up in a huge community that does homebrew, just look at DCEMU.

And Emulators aren't illegal, but i bet you played some roms on them.
I cant take anyone serious when they claim they never used an emulator. Just can't.

[MRMagoo123]

why dont they challenge themselves by making there own console to d1ck around with or is that too much of a challenge?

Hackers in general are d1cks thats all there is too it ppl that like them are the ones that use hacks in games to in online or get pirated games all in the same boat really losers.

[N4Flamers]

I cant take people seriously who dont think hackers pirate games. I just cant. The general will of the people is not savy enough to mod their own 360's to play pirated games. It's quite obvious the hackers are the ones who hack a system in order to allow this. If they were just challenging themselves then they would keep it to themselves.

My second question was never answered, and I wasnt being sarcastic. I would really like to know what useful function I could put on my 360 that I didnt have before.

Nope I have never played an emulator well anything illegal, but I grew up with games I've been playing since atari most of the time I dont like to look back. The only system I didnt own for too long was a ps2 and that has the only games I would like to play. However if I do get bored enough with my current selection I can just go buy one.

[Kushan]

Don't blame the hacker's for Sony's method of tackling them. Sony could easily patch any hacks they make, but instead they'd rather punish YOU guys by removing features. boo-urns!

[UnwanteDreamz]

Yep don't blame the idiot who gave them an excuse. You should friend him on FaceBook and tell him how cool it was that he pissed Sony off. /s

[MRMagoo123]

yeh blame sony for .........i cant actually think of a reason why, its just plain stupid to blame sony considering they didnt do it blame the retard hackers at least it was only the other OS to go tho and not something anyone cares about.

[gta2800]

You'd think hackers are intelligent people...but they can also be total idiots. If I were hacking something why the fuck would I go out and be like "hey everybody, I'm working on a new hack. I just found an exploit in "....." and I'm currently working on making piracy possible". This is what I would do if I were hacker and found an exploit. I'd work on it secretly until it's fucking complete! sorry for my language, but I just think it's stupid to go out and say all these hacking things before the hack is complete. All that will happen is the hackee(not a real word) will go into defense mode and dust the hack off. I'm not saying this because I want to see the PS3 get hacked. I'm saying this because it drives me nuts when people always have to go out and say "OMG, look what I found, look what I'm doing" only to then have their discovery be meaningless after they can't do shit with it for opening their mouth before work was complete lol.

[Oldsnake007]

Have fun downloading 25-50 gb.

[sikbeta]

This not going anywhere, hey Hackers, why don't just Deal With the Fact that you CAN'T hack the PS3, god damn you, IF we lose a feature thanks to you a$$hole-nerds, better go hide cos things are going to get ugly for ya...

[mushroomwig]

"Hey I've just found a way of hacking the PS3 through the remote play feature!"

*days later Sony release an update that disables Remote play*

"OMFG what the hell Sony? You fail! I was only having some fun!"

Fucking hackers, please just leave it alone because you're ruining things for the rest of us.

[CellularDivision]

I like how you bend over for Sony, it makes me lol.

"please hackers, dont mess with the ps3 or the great sony will banish features. i dont mind paying for psx classics which i already owned since i first bought them when they first came out"
"xbox sucks because they charge you for online play. who are they to charge you for something that should be free?"
Hypocrisy.

People hack the Xbox and the only feature they take away is online. :/
People hack the Wii and Wii doesn't remove any features. :D
People cant hack the PS3 because Sony REMOVES features. :(

While you are happy spending money on PSX classics, most of us dont feel the need to spend on something you already have. I had to buy FF7 and FF8 just to put them on my PSP, even though I own the hard copies. How is that fair?

Dont you want to save money for the super duper awesome exclusive games?

[jerethdagryphon]

uh if you own a ps1 game they can just use the disc itsp eople who have lost proke scratched disc who buy a very reasonably price digital replacment

as for psp you paying for a change in format

[squallheart]

i agree jereth, your buying a portable format plus you can play the ps1 games on your ps3 still. The only ones you cant are ps2 well i can still have my phat. Thats why they call supply and demand.

[AbyssGravelord]

STOP FUCKING HACKING!

[Silly gameAr]

Totally awesome! I can't wait to help ruin gaming even more!

[karan8624]

I love how this article hardly even says what the hack is. There is one, but it wont tell us what

Which is pointless

[Heartnet]

even if he does i hope to god he doesnt announce any detials.. if he keeps it private.. fine 1 person using hacked console no probz.. its when it gets global and thousands of people start doing it thats when it annoys me..

[Chucky2003]

so this article is about nothing

[tiamat5]

Don't do it whoever is trying this! You are ruining it for the rest of us. We don't want your idiotic hack. Sony has proved already that they are not kidding around.

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

they probably can do a patch if they found a port ? no?

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

[OmarJA-N4G]

Do your worst hackers, the triple trey is impenetrable.

It Only Does Confusing Hackers.

[xCaptainAmazing]

Everything is penetrable, and the PS3's OS isn't secure in the slightest. The guys who do the PS3 software are really weak.

[Heartnet]

it has been hacked to death just like the 360 ? :P even though its been out nearly as long ( 1 year i think )

[Ether]

I despise hackers. For me, they're somewhere between a cockroach and that white stuff that accumulates at the corners of your mouth when you're really thirsty.

+1 to whoever gets the reference. :P

[YourFlyness]

Cyrus The Virus

[hay]

When you don't drink the white stuff through? Semen?

[itsralf]

Con Air. :P hahaha

[SIR-DARK-HAZE]

When Cyrus the virus is talking to Johnny 23. The best film imho

[SIR-DARK-HAZE]

You didn't mean that "dirty nigger crackhead" shit, did you?

[MGRogue2017]

PS3 is 100% secure.. You'll never crack it, Keep trying though.. lol

That ugly bitch Geohot (iPhone hacker) who claimed that he could hack it didn't get very far :D

He is the ugly bitch in the picture below, he is mentally retarded lol

[r1sh12]

You are mistaken, Geohot did hack it which is why sony removed the 2nd OS feature.
That hack would have allowed copied Bluray games to be played.
Everything is hackable, as more and more people understand how to use the ps3 more things will come out.
Also, you say he doesnt get out much and yet he earns money from apple, and other places for his skills.
The ps3 is hackable, its just a matter of time before people figure out how to do it.
But it will happen sooner or later

[Silly gameAr]

You sound like you're behind it 100%. Just biding your time huh?

[stb]

LMAO, cheap ass.

[end3rbr0]

Ether...
I believe that was Con-Air, no? Cyrus? You comparing hackers to rapists?

[Ether]

Yep. And I'm not comparing the two, I'm just making some good use of that epic line of dialogue. :D

[Misterhbk]

because early emulators suck BALLZ! if all he's trying to do is make an emulator of the PS3 rather this is nothing to worry about. I'm sure many of you have heard of the PS2 emulators out there on the net and the most common theme between them all is that they are either limited in what games they can actually emulate or the games are just complete shit. They can't even properly emulate PS2, how are they going to do it with PS3? A much more complex console

[YourFlyness]

Stick with you 360 Modbots we dont need hacks and spoofs on the PS3. Need proof think about the best years of video gaming, piracy was non-exiestent. No piracy, Better gaming.

[Killermen]

I think StreetSkater is talking the truth

[stb]

No he is no.

[Panzerkanzler]

Don't blame Geohot for his ugly looks, his heritage didn't give him much choice.

[TVippy]

It's not even worth the news. We hear about new "hacks" every day, yet the PS3 is still "intact" after 4 years.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

SkaterFU is a joke.

[coojo]

i hope ps3 can play backups soon i just got a blu ray burner for my pc

[jerethdagryphon]

and legit gamers hope you dont.

[Armsgraph]

wow this seems rather impractical.who would want to go through all that trouble just to get free games.id rather just hack a wii or psp or with a simple custom firmware.with this method you have a higher risk of bricking the darn thing and since you opened it you just void the warranty and you cant get the dang thing fixed so now your stuck with very expensive paper weight.so whats the point in this possible hack?
