Hackers defy SCEA lawsuit, release all tools to public

[chrisrlink]

honestly all i wanted was like a cwcheats program but for games like FF13 (1 player only)

 

[ShadowSoldier]

I have to wonder, I've never own a PS3, but I wonder if this would have happened to this level if Sony never took away OtherOS or Backwards Compatibility.

 

[chrisrlink]

yeah until the sue the users

Really, I think if they just left that alone, no one would have really cared about hacking the PS3. So from the looks of it, Sony created their own demon.

if sony was smart they'd alow homebrew them selves just go afterr the piraters

Hindsight speaking, no, it wouldnt have happened TO THIS EXTENT, but whatever would have happened, Sony would've still sued to minimize the profit loss of manufacturing of the PS3.

Sony is too ignorant to tell the difference; to them; hacker/ing = pirate/acy.

 

[godreborn]

can't sony be sued for removing things from the system such as backwards compatibility since that was one of the selling points for the system originally? it really angers me that companies can do what they want freely with no recourse but the user can not. sure, it may be created by sony but how can u remove things that may have been the original reason someone bought the thing to begin with?

Sony is a greedy son of a bitch (like all game corporations)

any form of hacking is turned into a scare of losing money...

even though they are billionaires already!

true nintendo just gave up practicly....well for the wii/DS

 

[Raika]

Hell yeah, don't back down hackers! Freaking Sony and it's lawsuits.

NEVAH GONNA GIVE YOU UP

this Shows sony is more of a flaming asshole.

I think they are worse than Square-Enix and Microsoft combined

 

[Evo.lve]

Hotz and fail0verflow will spend the next few years in jail, just because of Sony's ignorance and greed.

FUCK YOU SONY, FUCK YOU

 

[stanleyopar2000]

It's funny how immature and pissy sony have acted once they have realized they have been beat at their own game.

When OtherOS was on here most things people want as homebrew could run. From what I have seen in the past is that most people want to mod systems to run linux on it and piracy comes from some one else. Since the PS3 had linux already there was no need to hack it other then for piracy.

 

[chyyran]

I see it now..

Sony headquarters burning..

MESS WITH THE BEST. DIE LIKE THE REST - Hackers (1995)

FUCK YOU SONY, FUCK YOU

Actually, it's very doubtful Sony will win. Apple tried to take down Geohot and they couldn't. Apple are a much bigger company then Sony, so they have a lot more money for lawyers, yet they couldn't touch Geohot.

Suck on that Sony.

No because it's still in the original PS3's or whatever. The newer ones don't advertise that at all. And even then, that's not illegal.

QUOTEApple are a much bigger company then Sony

Wait.. no they aren't.

Sony makes TV's, phones, cameras, game systems, mp3 players, laptops and a bunch of other stuff. Apple makes iPods/iPhones, Macs, and Laptops.
