Anyone else notice the PS3 hack getting blown way out of proportion compared...

...to the hacks on the 360, Wii, DS, and even the PSP?

Ever since those "masterkeys" of the PS3 were released, every aspect of the PS3's hack story is bigger than anything else has ever been. I think that's partly because PS3 has been "the system that cannot be hacked" for the past four years.

But still, when the Wii, 360, DS, and PSP got hacked, you didn't have the main hackers saying "_____ better back off!" or being featured on G4TV (Geohot). When the Wii, 360, and PSP got hacked, you didn't hear everyone moaning "well, I guess it's time for the Xbox 720, Wii 2, PSP2", nor did you hear people moaning "well I guess every online game is going to have cheaters in it", nor did the general gaming public start saying "hahah! Told ya cheaters would ruin the online" when cheaters did indeed show up in online games for those other systems.

From an objective standpoint, the PS3 hack has resulted in no worse damage than any of those other systems. I don't care if "teh masturkeez!" have been released, because the RESULT of the hack has resulted in no worse damage than Jtags, hacked Wiis, R4s, CFWs on PSP, etc.

So what gives? Is Sony once again everyone's favorite whipping boy when in reality they're simply experiencing something that has been rampant on other platforms for years?

1.the 360 and pc have defenses still the ps3 no longer does.
2.the hackers made actual press events about hacking the ps3.

but I can see the point your trying to make, its the same one you've tried many times that some how the ps3 is the little kid on the playground people are making fun of and no one ever makes fun of the 360 or pc...etc and those systems aren't held up to any extreme standards like the ps3 that the ps3 is setup to fail every where or something.

what gives? you obviously don't understand what "potentially" can happen because of this, not to mention mw2 is nearly unplayable on ps3. This isn't the same type of hack on the 360, ds, psp, etc. Not all hacks are created equal. Microsoft1234

You'll agree to everything once it's the against PS3.

The PS3 and 360 are not in the same league when it comes to hacking. The PS3 has been completely broken now and is in worse shape then the 360 has ever been.

Has any other system got their Master-Keys compromised?

The PS3 is the easiest to hack so far. 360 you still need to mod the console. Not saying its me or not. But I've already seen a PS3 with 80 games on one hard drive that works flawlessly. It's amazing and can be tempting for many people.

I would say the WII is the easiest to hack. That thing got lolled weeks after released. DS actually is the easiest.. Takes 0 work and for all wording, you actually not hacking the handheld to unlock everything.

Quoted for truth.

All these sites reporting on the Sony hack and even Sonys lawsuit is just making things worse, suddenly people who had no idea about the hack will know about it and be tempted. Its not as big of a problem as people are making it out to be (at the moment) but all the publicity cant be helping

ummm its not just anti ps3 people who are exaggerating, its also the cows.

The scene is moving at an extremely fast pace, I cannot link you all the abuse the PS3 is taking
