PS3 keys finally released

[emigre]

Sony might actually have to implement a system to ban people now.

Network-wise, not from individual games.

Don't they already ban jailbroken PS3s if they connect online?

No but the Keys available it sounds like the only option they have left.

With Geohotz releasing the keys, doesn't this make him liable for any legal action from Sony?

 

[SifJar]

That's handy. All Sony's security gone in one fell swoop.

PSP keys found as well (in the PS3!!!)..

How stupid could Sony be to put both the private key AND the PSP KIRK engine key inside the PS3 + fail at cryptology... First I was kinda on Sony's side, but now they just epic failed!!

Fail...

Probably because they share common architecture in their PSN Store.

I'm divided on what to think now, as I love things getting hacked, but I don't love online cheaters, which are sure to come in waves in a matter of time.

Back when the HD DVD keys were leaked companies made a lot of threats and a lot of sites pulled the keys, but then everybody said "Wait you you know what? NO, fuck you." and put them back up (encluding the entirety of digg), and as far as I know there was no actual legal action taken, just threats. I've read reports that it's doubtable there would even be a case. It gets into the whole "It's a hex string, a base 16 number, can you make a number illegal?" deal.

Sort of makes sense since the PS3 and PSP communicate in various ways. PS3 can send PSP executable data, it's gotta' be signed, and since the PSP came before the PS3, the PSP wasn't designed with a way to already accept info from just the PS3. ... or maybe it was set up like that originally and what they found was the keys for the PS3-PSP, but the PSP will run it anyways since that's the point? In other words maybe this is the "backup" key under the door mat?

Tell that to Wikileaks.

Classified information > Hex String

One is substantially easier to screw things up with than the other. Either way, off topic.

I think I nerdgasmed. if this helps make perm CFW for 88v3 and 3k, it'd be amazing.

Exactly..

When my brother is playing on the PS3 (CoD -_-) and is shouting "hacker" or something, I could always tell him: that's impossible, shut up... But now

It would make me more consider purchasing a PSP too. I would have already, but 1000's and early 2000's aren't too easy to find where I am. Not a lot of people have them, and even fewer are willing to sell.

I'm still just really happy that I'll be able to do stuff on my PS3 that I couldn't previously without having to make extra purchases.

Wait.... So PSP is going to have signed homebrew as well??
This is.... either a very nice surprise, or one that came much too late... one of the two...

The PSP keys wont really matter anyway, PSP2 will probably pop up next... er... this year (Lol HAPPY NEW YEAR!!)

I'm sure if devs start pushin out signed homebrew Sony will just stop supporting the system, give it one last firmware update to try and seal it off completely, then finish work on the next handheld (Still only a rumor, but come on.... its sony..)

even with the psp2 release coming out it would STILL matter.
people have been waiting for cfw for a couple of years now on later slims and 3000 and go. i dont really know much details about the psp2 but isnt going to be backwords compatible? would being able to sign psp1 codes be able to run on the psp2? i highly doubt that it will come with a whitelist to prevent it but idk...

The last I heard, UMDs werent going to be in the console, but stuff off PSN might play on it... ya never know

So...I'm guessing PS3's console sales will suddenly see a rise?

 

[Zerox8610]

So...I'm guessing PS3's console sales will suddenly see a rise?

And PS3 games sales will plummet lmao.
More than likely.

 

[HavokLoks]

So...I'm guessing PS3's console sales will suddenly see a rise?

After hearing this news, I just ordered one today.

 

[mygamingcard]

huge huge day! BIG shout out to Geohots!

More than likely.

Did Xbox 360 game sales plummet after/during the DVD firmware hack?

I think as long as Sony bans every user of unauthorized software on PSN, people are still going to pay for games to play online

I hope so, I don't like playing with those cheaters.

This seems like more of a permanent hack tho, they can sign ANYTHING they want.
Altho I don't really know of the 360 hacking scene, I only just bought one over the summer.
