Hacking I Got banned from PSN

[headkittens]

Welp, that's good money not being spent on PSN anymore.

It's so obvious. Using hacked content on PSN=asking for bans. Don't whine that it's their fault. It's yours, for pirating and using illegal hacks.

hackers would've won if sony hadn't taken geohots computer equipments. Thats how they found a way to ban people. You cant really blame george for 'handing' his equipments to sony. he had no choice.

It seems to me that modding a PS3 isn't worth the risk.... the top two threads are about bans lol.

I'm gunna stick with Wii modding. Fuck yah Nintendo for your lack of an online system. No bans FTW and I'm glad i don't have to worry


Modded wii and reg ps3 ftw.

What are you talking about ?
You are saying that Sony don't know its own SDK and their own servers and protocol ? they needed Geohot work to understand their own console ?

Banning has nothing to do with the seizure.
What I think is that they can't find a way to block the new ssl proxy/header rewriting with a simple firmware version checking, so they are now banning based on the user's PS3 content and history.

sony will start banning ip adresses soon enough

 

[codezer0]

Um, a lookup of that specific code suggests that it is not by hacked content perse, and isn't a perma-ban either. Basically, the more common reason to get that error code is cuz you were quite the bad boy, spouting obscenities online.

if microsoft and sony starts doing this nintendo should of done the same if they *really* wanted to protect gamers from hackers online

What sort of hacks were you using?

I mean, if some people are just using a hack that lets them load a game off of their HDD and they ban, believe it or not, Sony has no merit to ban people. As long as you didn't use their servers at all for your hacks, and you own all of the stuff or you have permission from the homebrewer to use the program, you should be safe. And that's because Homebrew is 100% LEGAL.

So really, Sony doing this just because, when they don't know what a person has, is retarded and wrong. I get wanting to protect your console, but there are people who don't want to keep swapping discs and risk damaging them.

Anyways, online gaming sucks. I always found it to ruin the quality of the game. If I pay $60.00 to get a game that's going to be used mainly for online, and then the servers are shit-tastic from day one (looking at you CoD), it was a waste of money. Also don't have to worry about hackers or cheaters with offline games either. Don't have to deal with the 14 year olds thinking their hot shit because they live at home for free and have girlfriends.

Lord knows how many games I'd purchased that their consoles have ruined already.

 

[jaxxster]

I'm all for these people getting banned from PSN

OH QFT. with that kind of ban Sony loses all future legit console the user buys.

then again, there are far less online games for wii then either xbox360 or ps3.
so people that would get banned from nintendo have less to lose

 

[chrisrlink]

dont forget PSN can be acessed through media go and psp (I assume this is a MAC address ban and not an ID ban)

 

[Originality]

then again, there are far less online games for wii then either xbox360 or ps3.

That's directly proportional to the number of FPS games on 360 and PS3 compared to the Wii.

Usage of unlicensed software and *COUGH*BACKUPS*COUGH* goes against your PSN ToS (Or I think it does.)
Judging from the email, It looks like Circumvention devices (aka PSJailbreak) are against the ToS too.

I would say that somebody who really knows what they are looking at should check the ToS, but they were probably modified if they didn't already include all of this before Sony started sending out that message. I guess we all knew the bans were coming, it was only a matter of time. I don't agree with how Sony is going about it. Apparently though, even the use of CFW is considered against their ToS. Hell, doing much more then turning on your console appears to be against the ToS now.

In some countries, it's technically against the law to breath (since the very air is owned by the state, breathing it is technically theft of state property). Nobody has been prosecuted for it yet though.

Sony are trying to take up the position that using your console in a way they didn't intend is against the law. Public campaign groups are trying to shut that down and uphold the reasoning that once you've bought the console, it's up to you how you use it. As for Sony banning PSN accounts of hackers... well that's all about ToS.

So wait, em I ban? I have cfm and didn't go to psn even once since that router trick. I changed my email adress so i don't know if they sent me anything. Is my console banned?
