PS3 Soon Hacked?

So i just read today at a forum that the ps3-scene has managed to get windows to recognise the ps3 using dosflash, pretty much the same way the wii got it.

And that it might lead to Iso loading through HD.

I actually hope the ps3 don`t get pirated, i like that it is a consol where you have to buy what you want to play.

Your view?

It has already been hacked and pirate copies sold across the world, so this is about... 3 years old, this news.Adziboy

Sure you are talking about the PS3?
Far as i know, it is the only current console that is not pirated and can not load burned games.

One guy got to half way hack it via Linux using Other OS feature. We know what happened at April 1st. And even though he claimed he will carry on, he failed and gave up at last. Luckily. If PS3 gets hacked to the stage it will be loading ISO games from HDD, it will be really bad. I really hope it doesnt happen, not in next 5 years or so. Just look what it did to PSP. There arent many really awesome games on it (LBP, GT, MGS Peace Walker, Modnation...) and even those dont sell well as far as I know. And thats a shame.

And in my opinion, I dont believe PS3 will getr hacked to play ISOs, at least not in next few years. There are too many obstacles. BluRay discs cost quite a lot so far, games are rather big in size, whole PS3s OS and the way firmware works makes it almost impossible. Plus we have online updates. And who wants to give up online gaming and the ability to contact friends on PS3? Or risking to get banned? Sony can always bring new security algorithms via firmware updates.

Sony sure doesnt want PS3 to end up like PSP.

On a side note, it would probably boost console sales temporarily :) but in a long run it will only bring trouble.

I hope not. [QUOTE="Adziboy"]It has already been hacked and pirate copies sold across the world, so this is about... 3 years old, this news.pooyanh

i live in saudi arabia where games are known to be copied, people here aren't used to buy original-60$ games which by the way are overpriced here. second, copied games are like love hotels here so if the ps3 were to be hacked, i don't think i wouldn't know about it.

so far, the only console in my history of gaming that didn't get hacked and that's really amazing from sony to fight hackers around the world.

The PS3 has been hacked, apparently.

Won't be long before they do custom firmware, and pirate games.

Didn't Geohot announce his "retrirement" from hacking because of all the flak he received for successfully hacking the PS3, which caused Sony to immediately respond and remove the Linux feature in a firmware update?
