[QUOTE="COLINBENNAZ"]iam afraid the ps3 is wide open and its just the beggining i hope sony dont win there case against hotz before long companys will be prommising all kinds and after a few months take feutures away and if i buy a car and change the engine i can becouse its mine i paid for it same as as a ps3 all paid for not borrowed if i want to make it into something else i can what if i wanted to run a homebrew app that could help doctors and medical staff save lifes i wiull do becouse i own it i hope the same thing happens to the ps4 but not in the same time frame the day its released i want to run homebrew and emulaters **** piracy but its not against the law to make a copy of a game you own i no its the biggest excuse pirates use but its trueMrSelf-DestructYes, you can do whatever you want to your car after you buy it, but you also have to make it street legal and follow the rules of the road if you want to use it outside of your private property. The difference is the people on the road have law enforcement officers to keep them safe from people who make dangerous machines and drive recklessly. The PS3 doesn't have any sort of protection, so the rest of us who are playing on PSN are completely vulnerable to the BS that the idiot hackers come up with. We paid for our PS3, too, so we should be able to enjoy it the way its intended to be enjoyed. People who want to use it to hack it and run homebrews should never have bought it to begin with because that's not what its for. Thats not what it does. You bought it, its yours, but if you bought it for any of the idiotic purposes you mentioned then you bought it for the wrong reasons.
The key difference though being that You can kill somebody in real life with a car. Hacking a ps3 isnt nearly as deadly. I personally dont like it either but i feel people should be able to do what the want with thier systems since they are basically pcs at this point. Even more so when the next generation starts because what your gonna have is essentially a powerful PC. There are many useful and cool reasons for hacking a system besides getting games for free and cheating. If they get away with this where do you draw the line. Can i only use my tv for watching the news or my ipod for listening the top ten radio songs?
