PS3: A hacker's dream...

Right, because so many systems will allow a user to put in an infinite number of guesses without locking them out and / or flagging them. Your little "windows passwords" and other things don't need to be brute-forced, there are backdoors already. The systems that actually need to be secured are designed to be resistant to brute force hacking methods, and the ones that aren't were *already insecure* before the PS3.

Don't ever trust mainstream journalism trying to write about IT security - it's like taking career advice from a Walmart cashier... chances are, they don't have the answers you're looking for. As far as that type of hacking goes - your little eight-character passwords die to rainbow tables in a matter of hours with a basic PC, nothing fancy required.

Its a common fact that the cell wasn't designed around running game code....

KillZone 2 says otherwise.

If the PS3 had 2 Gigs of Ram and a more simple but powerful GPU it would have been the most powerful system ever made without a doubt, I truly think the Cell is great but it's being held back by the rest of PS3's hardware.

it was their hardware design right?

they have to at least share culpability....

of course it's not sony's fault... totally...just kicking the cow's ant hill...:)

So you admit that damning someone for making advanced hardware is silly and that you're just doing so for the sake of 1upmanship. Got it.

There is always anegative to a positive (I've said this so many times that I might as well make it into another one of my own sigs :roll: )... You are taking the negative role.

Too much of many things can be bad, but progress is progress.

Sooner or later "the scene" will get what they "want" out of the PS3. No code is irreversable ;)

Please explain how tiny environments, low res textures and the "amazing" lighting that isn't even completely dynamic makes killzone 2 say otherwise. Gears of war looks better.
