I'm all in for PS3 being hacked, Sony deserved it. I bought my PS3 when it first came out when I could run Linux and all of a sudden they removed it. I only bought the PS3 for other OS and blu-ray it was a piss off that Sony would cheat us like that and took away a feature that they included in the launch/sales of the PS3. Even not so long ago Sony started to launch these commercials stating that *PS3 Does everthing* in fact it doesnt since they removed otherOS, but now I guess it can!! Great Job to FailOverFlow and Geohot I will always support you guys!!

So basicall, insead of buying a computer that could run Linux and a blu-ray player, you paid for a PS3, which costs more than both combined and does far less out of the box, and you're mad that the PS3 suddenly can't do one of them anymore? And now you're mad at Sony for removing a feature, instead of being mad at yourself for being an idiot...

To be fair, I'm sure playing PS3 games was also on his mind, even if it wasn't the main reason.

Agreed 100% that the PS3 Does everthing now the only thing they need now is to play MKV files when your streaming multimedia.

You guys are complete idiots. This is not about piracy. If you actually read the article, you'll see that the hacker group cracked the PS3 in order to use Linux on it once again, since Sony removed 'OtherOS' support from the slim, and with a firmware update, they also removed it from all older PS3 models.

Sure, piracy will also happen out of this, but I think that's a good thing. It'll mostly be relegated to people using SNES, Mega Drive, N64, etc emulators with the requisite ROMs. Not exactly a big deal. Some will bother to get pirated PS3 games running, but I can't see that being a really huge issue.

Werd! This is not about piracy its about running Linux and Homebrew

^LULZ.

If you only bought the console for Linux and Blu-ray, why did you update the firmware?

Because he prob didnt know that he was going to lose linux via update.

He might of bought the system to play some of the PS3 games too you know. Just because your too retarded to understand that doesnt make him a idiot. Maybe you should go back under your blanket with your daddy dumb ass!!

Which would explain why he said the "ONLY" reason he bought a PS3 was for Linux, right?

If you're going to be a total idiot on the internet, please, at least learn to fucking spell first.

So what if he wants to play PS3 games on his system also? does a pc that can run Linux and play blu-ray also play PS3 games? Get your fuckin head out of your ass and think before you comment like a dick!!

Piracy is an unwanted outcome, from the system being hacked.

...Again, he said "only." He didn't say anything about playing PS3 games. He said, quite clearly, that he only wanted it for OtherOS.

Also, when you agreed with him earlier that the PS3 "does everything," you know he was being sarcastic, right?

Yeah, I guess your spelling is okay, you just can't work your way around the English language.

Also, calm down. I know you're like, five years old, but honestly, nobody cares.

Then he shouldn't have said he only wanted it for OtherOS, I guess. In any case, it doesn't really matter. He made a dumb statement; I don't care how many accounts he creates to defend himself, what he said was dumb, and he's clearly only here to troll anyway.

Fair point, but it was all over the internet. Plus by what he says, he was literally in it for Linux and Blu-ray. I understand the latter, but I can't imagine Linux is that great on PS3.

It said before the update what it would do, he had the choice to then cancel it

wow from a simple news article, to a huge flame war. Cubed 3 members Vs. the guests....

Who will win, stay tuned and we will have the results, later.

I like the cubed 3 members, but I also like the guests. Only one way to settle this...FIGHT!!!!!

Or a LOCK. I'd have locked this thread and banned everyone ages ago

I know this is old, but it looks like I right about the seriousness of the PS3 being hacked.
