Sony has a right to defend their products.
Yeah by alienating half their consumers.
People want homebrew. Its the only reason the PSP was popular. We all know nobody bought PSP games. It was all about the remarkable homebrew scene. It made my PSP the most played system I own this gen. And I once had a VERY negative opinion of the PSP. The amazing homebrew scene changed all of that.
Honestly, Sony is doing this "crackdown" for show. Its all for the benefit of the 3rd parties who are worried about the increased dev costs on PS3 games. But the truth is, Sony is using the jailbreak to stealthfully promote the PS3, just like they used piracy to promote the
PSP, PSX, PS2. Heck I learned how to install CFW on the Official Sony Message Boards. And it was from a tutorial written by an actual Sony employee. He even told me how to run ISO and Emulators.
