Hackers, Sony is very angry and they are coming for you!

Still only a handfull of games can be pirated with this really. Hopefully Sony can send a clear message if they ever track these guys down, but chances are they are all in hiding for a while or confident that they wont be found or in an area where Sony can't touch them.Jynxzor

lol, their hiding in a spiderhold Saddam Hussein style.

honestly, I think people saw all those doom articles when this first happened and peopel convinced themselves its a hopeless battle.

remember the Apocalyps3? oh teh dommed!!! the ps3 has been doomed so many times now I think sony hasnt scrapped it because it has developed an immunity

yeah. I just hate how people listenend to these hackers talk about how its hopeless for SONy to combat this, they believe these fools, and never once consider that SONY COULD fix the situation. you wanna know how they can maybe not fix the situation, but help it greatly? Crack down on people distributing the codes, ship new PS3s with a new Encrypted syestem, and ensure that new models cant get hacked this way, and ensure that as few people aspossible can get the existing code for the 40 million plus PS3 out now. they have to contain it, and I think they will.

You clearly don't fully grasp what has actually happened. The security keys have been released onto the internet, there isn't a thing Sony can do about the hacking. Sony released an update and the hacker community shugged it off and carried on. A new encrypted PS3? It's not going to happen. Considering how much red ink Sony has bled with the PS3, they're not going to drop another few hundred million into a new model.

Why the hell would it cost that much to add in a new thing to existing hardware? Why do they need a whole new syestem? Just change the encryption code. -Can you explain to me why that isnt as simple as it sounds? Also, that Update slowed them down. It got alot of people banned off black Ops.

Uh, no. Actually, the jailbroken PS3 will play any copied files period. And Sony isn't going to track anyone down. The custom firmwares are already being spead over P2P networks as we speak with thousands of jailbroken PS3s being born everyday. Sony will no more track people down than the trade associations track people down who upload movies, music, and games to torrent sites. That's just the cold hard truth and Sony knows it.

All i know is when we revisit this in a year I doubt well see this have any significant, dire impact on PS3. SONY will either find a way to make it so or something will come along and I doubt well see the console in dire straights.

lol, just wait to see what happens and quite believing the damn doom articles please. Atleast try to be open to the idea it can be alleviated atleast. So far we have had a article or thing happen every year thats going to supposedly kill the PS3, and it hasnt happened yet.

There's a lot more to it than that. When the keys are already out there for anyone to modify, a mere update isn't going to change anything. It's like changing the locks to a house to keep out an intruder who is already in the house.

thats why I said start making PS3s with a different code or whatever.

Of course there won't be any dire impact for Sony as piracy isn't the end all that everyone makes it out to be. The PSP and DS have been hacked to death and both handhelds still see great releases coming out. Pirates aren't real customers anyway, so their downloads cannot truly be considered lost sales.

um, PSP releases have suffered do to piracey. Its the main reason the console died out like it did. Im more concerened about PSN multiplayer becoming crap due to these guys.

The PSP died out? That's strange. Sony actually turns a profit on every PSP sold and it just had its strongest year of releases with more great titles on the way out. That's rather unusual for a handheld that's supposedly dying.

As I've said time and time again. Cutting off a head of piracy only causes a thousand to spring from its place.

Dude, no one really gives a crap about PSP really in this industry. Its often considered a failure compared to like DS and all that due to its subpar software sales and stuff like that.

Anyway, I could care less what other people do to their consoles as long as it dosent effect me in anyway. If this effects devs efforts in multiplatform games on PS3 because they figure "Whats the point, people will just pirate it, who cares if its a crap port." or it effects my enjoyment when i want to play a multiplayer game once in a blue moon, or effects the health of my console then I DO care.

Pretty much on the spot except for the hackers would be spurting out internet memes and DDoS attacks instead of blood. :P
