PS3 finally properly hacked?
« on: January 23, 2010, 05:49:30 PM »
Ok if this rumor is true it could be a huge deal. I've always seen the PS3 as super secure platform from sea rovers and this could open the floodgates for ships to set sail yarrrrr. PS3 sales might be alot larger this year hehe....

Quote

In a post titled "Hello hypervisor, I'm geohot," hacker George Hotz (already known in the iPhone community) has made a strong claim: that he has cracked the PS3. The system has remained (mostly) uncompromised for over three years now, with a few exceptions here and there. But, this one pledges full read/write access to the entire system memory and complete control over the processor -- all without a mod chip. Has he really done it, if so how, and what comes next? That all remains to be seen. This exploit supposedly "isn't really patchable, but [Sony] can make implementations much harder," meaning he isn't tipping his hat until he's ready, because once he does the never-ending firmware update war begins, and as we've seen on the PSP, Sony can really knock out those updates.

I think Sony would try to fight it with an update, which may work. But they can also just ban all modded PS3s from the PSN like XBLive.

I'd rather stay original this time, for Sony and for my sake.

PS. Congrats to that Geohot guy for making the effort though, that's quite and achieveme-*woops* I mean he deserves a Trophy.

In this day and age of firmware updates...I good.  I'll take my chances with the odd PC 'beta testing' now and again,
but my consoles shall stay unmodded.  That particular cat and mouse 'game' of patch vs hack I do not have the stomach for.
