PS3 Hacker Tells Sony to Back Off or Else...

LMAO what a *****. Seriously, against guys like this, I hope Sony wins. Blackmailing a multi-national corporation is just a massive LOLfest.

for being a multi national corporation, the hackers sure seem to having sony's back against the wall

I hope Sony will hire hitman to do the job. I can't understand how could people to so ridiculous and selfish. There's no hackers that are good from the beginning. Why the hate for Sony who wants to prevent their product being crack and their software sale being drained? :(Kleeyook

so you're advocating sony take up murder? wow, I bet you are such a cow you'd murder this guy FOR sony!

[QUOTE="HuusAsking"]What about the Slims? They never had it to begin with, and with the Fats no longer produced, the consumer no longer has a choice. If Sony had really wanted to leave a choice, they should've forked the firmwares and let the consumers decide: OtherOS but no PSN or PSN but no OtherOS.

X86 laptops already has host command processor i.e. PPE is useless. There's very little need for Toshiba Spursengine if the PC includes DX10/DX11 level "fat" GpGPU.

Im interested to see what happens, not because of sony or the ps3 but because this could affect all piracy forever. What if people couldnt pirate music, movies and pc games anymore?

Possible consequences or positive outcomes...

1.. End of Sony (or Sony Playstation)
(hope this isn't gonna happen)

2.. Sony employs all the hackers with a salary double that to the highest paid person in the company, in a sort of blackmailing the hackers to not release any more hacks.

3.. Sony let's this all happen, lose lots of money but starts the development of the PS4.

4.. Sony releases Egohot and drops the ransom, then secretly implements high tech security in a future patch. (background downloading?)

5.. VWI will start. (Virtual War 1) and Microsoft will join in for the fun. Nintendo will suddenly release a well hidden console with quantum chips while the 2 major companies think they are having a war with the hackers.

Any more possible outcomes?

Personally I would like Sony to keep making these fantastic systems..

None of these will happen... this guy and anyone associated with his blackmail are also going to be sued if not prison time.

I don't think people realise that these hackers are the biggest cows ever, why else would they want to break the system open so they can use there own homebrew, instead of just buying a great PC, where they can do all of that stuff already??

yea you must really be a hardcore cow to want to do everything on you're PS3 instead of you're PC.. :P

or maybe, just maybe the have other motives, that they really don't want people to know about;)

A public blackmail?

Also this thread is a trap for people posetive to this, watch out for moderations even if it got nothing to do with piracy.

Today....marks doomsday for all who scorned the wrath of Sony. 0.0

I don't understand the relevance of that, nor the relation between being a multi-national corporation and having your back against the wall. Multi-national corporations are simply businesses that span countries/continents.

Sony is getting destroyed here.

That would be all kinds of awesome.

You guys are ridiculous. There's a stereotype that all gamers are fat 30 year old men who live in their parents basement and yet you use that same stereotype to describe these guys. Since you believe the stereotype that all hackers are nerds living in their parents basement, I assume you're all 30 year old nerds that weigh 400 pounds and look like the guy from the South Park episode, am I correct? Do you have any idea what these people even look like or what they do for a living? Just because you're a hacker doesn't mean you sit at home all day eating Cheetos and drinking Mountain Dew. Seriously grow the f*** up and educate yourself or don't speak at all. Keep your ignorance to yourself.I-Doomzday-I

Uh, buddy, I think we are talking about one specific individual here. Someone foolish enough to make a threat, publically, to do damage if certain actions aren't taken. There's no requirement that one must be a cheetos powdered 30 year old to be commonsense clueless.

I think the response is sang across like so.

What have the slims got to do with anything? The slims were never advertised as to having OtherOS anyway. You can still buy PS3 fats second hand. Or you can install Linux on any PC, there is plenty of choice. We are not talking about people here who have not yet bought a PS3, we are talking about owners already of the PS3.

I still don't understand this crap. Who the hell hacks a console? If you want to make mods or "homebrew" there's this thing called a PC. Consoles are for playing console games. That's it. It's likethis newage of jail-breaking phones and whatnot has given peoplea false sense of entitlement to do whatever they want with technology. You want a more customizable experience? Well, get a real job and developmachine or networkyourself instead of ruining other peoples work.

Sony can ban my console all they want from PSN i wouldn't care since i don't play MP on it.

USS_Data

Why would I? I do what I want with my PS3 and if sony has a problem with that then let them challenge me in court where I live I know who will be the victor and that is not Sony. As long as I don't download and play illegal copies of games i'm well within my rights.

It's alright that YOU don't play illegal copies of games or cheat online and I'm sure Sony don't care that much about it either. They do however, care about people who actually download their games and play it illegal, and like it or not the hacking of the PS3 has made it possible for people to do just that.Why shouldn't they bring out the big guns for potential losses in sales or a ruined online service?

It's a dobbel edged sword: The hacking of the PS3 might've been because people wanted to have Linux on their PS3 which is fine by me, but it also allowed for people to play illegal games and cheat online, which is not cool since it's my experience that'll be ruined in the end.

So you go ahead and do whatever YOU want offline, but don't tell me that I should embrace these hackers because I sure the hell won't have my experience ruined be it online or because publishers don't want to release games for the PS3.

word up

keyword being hardware. You can't mod sony software and expect them to do nothing. They bought a machine. They can open it, solder whatever they want, take the pieces and sell them. But when it comes to software, that's something you can either create yourself from zero (it isn't the case), or use the one given for free from sony. Anything else they can demand a legal process to determine the legality of the software modding.

geohot and failoverflow claim they want otherOS back. No sign of otheros. Piracy everywhere. We can determine at this point that the release of keys and tools was not in good will.

This hacker that blackmails sony... just for blackmailing, anything he released will be a clear damage for sony thus they can charge.

Hah. Publishers aren't charities and you're entitled to nothing. They'd gladly accept the increased revenue and that's that.

The more you sell, the less you devalue your product. The less it sells, the faster you make discounts to free some stock before the next installment.

Wii vs PS3 this gen for example. Ps3 dropped price fairly quick. Wii stayed at the initial price for a lot of time, despite having a price 4-5x times superior to the manufacture cost.

The criminals being pirates. Games are exceedingly expensive because of pirates.

Bigboi500

What the hell are you talking about? There is no such relation as you are describing it.

If anything, the possibility of getting a game for free is what keeps prices competitive. If the publishers could be the absolute authority in pricing games could be found at full price even years after release.

I think it's kind of obvious by the comments in this thread who the regular consumers are, and the "others". ;)

Trying to strawman your way out of the idiotic comments you've made regarding business, aren't you.

That's some impeccable logic you have right there.

[QUOTE="N30F3N1X"]

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]It's simple business really. With stronger sales they wouldn't charge as much because cheaper prices = more sales, which in turn means more money for them. It would be a win-win situation for devs, publishers and consumers if it were not for the criminals.
