Hackers defy SCEA lawsuit, release all tools to public

[Bladexdsl]

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

no they realized that peeps will still buy the wii/ds and games and make billions whether peeps pirate or not. sony on the other hand are just greedy c***s!

 

[Joe88]

Apple are a much bigger company then Sony

its the other way around

sony is much larger in comparison

remember, they dont just make video games systems

 

[redact]

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?

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.

do you even have a ps3?
otherOS was removed from phat ps3 consoles by the april 1st update

I can see this fiasco in a Zero Wing Script



In January 2011..WAR..WAS BEGINNING

*hackers release uncrackable hacks on the PS3*


Sony - "oh we will fix this little INCONViENCE with a little forced firmware update!

*realizes that a update will not work*

*WTFBOOM!!!!*

Sony - What happen?!

Sony Dev Team - Somebody Beat us up at our own game

Sony Dev Team -we.. uh..Get Signal..

Sony - IT'S YOU!!

THE SCENE - How are you?...you ASSHOLES?!....

THE SCENE - ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US. BITCH.

THE SCENE - GIVE US BACK OTHEROS...OR FACE DESTRUCTION.

Sony - "WHAT YOU SAY?!"

Sony Dev Team - "Sir, We have no chance to survive if we give them time"

Sony - LAWSUIT LAWSUIT TAKE OUT EVERY SUIT.

Sony Dev Team -You know what you doing?....make things worse this could..

Sony - Nonsense...For Great "Justice".....

well, considering sony is playing a game of semantics with the suggestion that the hackers were trying to blackmail them or whatever...one could say the ps3 saying: "it only does everything" could be used to suggest that since it can't do "everything" then they are essentially lying to consumers. sure, it may sound stupid, but it's no more stupid than what sony is saying in regards to the hackers.

 

[Bladexdsl]

it COULD do everything if sony just lets homebrew run free

I said I didn't on the second page.

Thought he was referring to Backwards Compatibility.

man theres no backing out now the way i see it the freedom of us americans as long as we dont infringe on other (gonna eat my words later) we will suceed everyone can turn over a new leaf i did pre ordering pokemon black even if i pirated b/w J I admit from the first rom i downloaded when i was 10 i would be in trouble but to see these hard ass companies sue i mean if i got a summon by nintendo at 10 yrs old imagine the news how bad the image would be for ninytendo to sue a 10 eyar old for more mony that he may make in his lifetime

yeah, I was referring to bc but also other os. I don't own a ps3, but I do recall many being angered about other os being removed.

it seems that sony is a sore loser in all this as they have become the laughing stock of the electronics industry. maybe they shouldn't sue the hackers but rather fire the engineering staff involved with the ps3's development for being too lazy to create adequate security.

I so didn't know about this..and sony is SO doing this right NOW XD

Yes, but Apple makes far more money then Sony. Sony doesn't even come close to making as much money as Apple. With a lot more money, Apple would have a better and bigger army of lawyers.

The rumor about Apple buying Sony a few months ago turned out to be false, but if they really wanted to, Apple could buy Sony. They could probably buy them more then one time, that's how much bigger they are.

Maybe, maybe not. But us general consumers will never know. I mean, I could easily say Microsoft could buy Apple if they wanted to, or Nintendo could buy them.

Or hell, Bill Gates could buy Apple if he wanted to because of his insane amount of retirement money he has.

my bad....I lived a sheltered childhood...I only saw a few South Park episodes late and night

Now that i think about it, I can see their ad campaign coming back to get them.

once again
wrong

last years revenue for each company

Sony
$77.2 billion USD

Apple
$65.2 billion USD

now how much of that was profit it unknown

That still wouldn't change the fact that if Apple failed, Sony is not likely not succeed either.

maybe i should let go of the 15 grudges i have against my ex gfs seeing that i may go to prison for this but then again i was suicidal 99% of the time now i know my purpose is to right the wrongs in this corrupt government (in a non violent way of course)
