I hope Sony draws out this whole process so long Hotz is in debt for the rest of his life.

Man that geofag is annoying.
Look, I understand geohot is a attention whore. However, if Sony wins, there will be a new precedence set. Just hoping Sony wins because you dislike geohot is just silly, and childish. Don't tell me you've never relished attention. Just think about it for a second. Is it arrogance when you have the skill and means to back it up? He has every right to be proud, and release things that will make everyone's systems be more like the PS3 slogan: It only does everything. It's now getting close to doing that. Besides, I believe you will never have even half the skills geohot has and continues to hone.

Okay firstly: go back and re-read what I said, I never once said anything about Sony winning, why? Because the longer the court process takes the more money geofag has to spend, he does not have nearly as much as Sony does at all. Also yes I do think it would be good if Sony won, seriously this generation is full of entitled spoilt children, you do not have a right or a need to play homebrew, or pirate games. There are people out there who do what you're meant to do and buy games, they don't feel they have to play the newest games straight away and if they want to, they use their own money. And trying to delude yourself into using homebrew as an excuse for your pirating ways is just as selfish. And no geofag is nothing more than an attention whore, the other team, whatever it was, the ones with the even stupider name, at least they didn't feel the need to release the keys soon allowing pirating of games so easily. No they didn't feel they needed to one up someone and regain their ego and reputation...

Right, I did misread your post. However, why point out an irrelevant rebuttal when you actually say that I was right, and that you do hope Sony wins. It's irrelevant semantics. So, what you're saying is that when I buy something from the store. That I cannot do with it what I want. By your logic, I cannot decide I hated the console and microwave it or something. You're full of shit. When someone sells you something, or give or whatever, it's yours. No take backs, no, "Oh, I only let you test it for the low price of 599 and your stupidity." Rentals are another story. When you go to Blockbuster and rent a game or movie, you agree that it will be in the same condition when it has been returned. Rentals != Property.

I agree with most of what you said with a few caveats...

If you buy the hardware, you should be able to do what you want with it, within reason. As long as it's not illegal, i don't see what the big deal is about enabling homebrew on something you bought, and rightfully own with your own money. That is what OtherOS was for, and it worked well to sate the tinkerers and homebrewers.

Also, enabling Homebrew might bring the ability for piracy along with it, but they are not one and the same. A very few people might enjoy homebrew on the PS3, and not partake in piracy at all, so don't be so quick to lump them in with the pirates, no matter how small their numbers are.

This 100x. When I can hack a system that is in my home, connected to my network, and not through mine to Sony's, then I can do whatever I want to my system. The only way Sony has any power over what I do is through their network. They can ban me, delete stolen games, reset stats, etc. They do not have the right to render my console inoperative, and they can only prevent me from using their network.

idk Isn't this more about rights? I bought this laptop, and I make it run faster,play thing it wasn't capable , or paint my labtop black and blue they do not have the right to take it away or take away features they do not even plan to give back.

If it not running copy games, even then if you own the games and just all in one place, I should be able to do what I want with the device.


It should be Sony trying to protect your system because it your system. Understand protecting their money from games, but if they start shutting down systems,stopping all homebrew, and taking features advertised making you fell like you rented a console then that more then protecting that owning...

When the key leaked out, all people was like "F*CK YEAH", people were thinking, "Oh, okay, this took a while, SONY and game devs had plenty of time to cash in their products, and now its homebrew time" or downloaded ISOs time, and now its like "THOSE F*CKERS" how can they do that to their customers!"

I agree, how can they cut backward support for PS2 games just to get cash, how can they f*ck up console that YOU bought with YOUR money that sits in THEIR pockets with new firmware that blocks everything that was reason for buying that piece of .. equipment! Just to get cash because game devs put some pressure on company!

I was like LOL when they disabled USB, oh okey, so how can i play games that required USB, buzz or singstar or whatever, its not that i have to play them, but hey, somebody bought all that stuff and now its useless!

Some of my friends have PS3 and they don't want to hack it, they are now used to buy original games and have original firmware, so hey SONY, don't f*ck them up with lame updated firmware restrictions, they done nothing wrong!

I'm happy when i see homebrew applications because they can get the most of piece of equipment that I own. Thats why I'll always stick with Nintendo and MS.

Sony has great products, but hey, SONY dont be such a**hole when it comes to this!

Uh...what? They didn't disable USB completely, They just disabled USB until the OS loads completely. Meaning to the common user, nothing changed.
