Really? What does this mean for the end consumer? Will we be seeing extreme glitchers in online play? Will we see any real impact at all just trying to play games?

As far as I can tell it is for people who want to use pirated games and develop their own software compatable with the PS3. I'm not able to tell if there will be a negative impact for the 95% of people that use the system just for gaming.

Someone, tell me what's up.

Where did you get this 95% statistic? Can I have a link to it? Did you conduct the polling yourself? Can I see your statistical analysis?

The best hackers will create homemade cheats for online games and run them as signed executables. They ones wont dont mind sharing their recipe will share them with the rest of the hacker community. As many have already said, PSN is about to be a sh*tshow. Mid-level hackers will create software that runs on the PS3 that isn't supposed to. The sky is the limits with this as everyone with these kits is basically Sony. The majority of people exploiting this are going to be playing free copies of their games. This difference between this and people playing free games on X360 is MS can tell who is playing pirated games due to the nature of the X360 hack and they are banned within "2 hours" of online interaction. Sony will not be able to tell whos running a legal copy and whose running an illegal copy.
