New firmware next week then?

LordMarius5222d ago

yeah
I am not expert on how hacking works, yet...
but wouldn't an update reverse this

plus this is bad for all of us since everyone knows new firmware = bricked consoles /s?

PirateThom5222d ago (Edited 5222d ago )

I'm no expert either, but I know the reason the PS3 has been unscathed, thus far, is because of the multi-layer security system:

If he only has lvl 1 access... that means he has read/write access... but the Linux and Game OS are lvl 2/3... so there's really not much at lvl 1 from a homebrew or piracy point of view.

"hacked" is a bit of a stretch, "exploited" would be closer.

Or maybe I'm wrong, I don't think I am though.

rroded5222d ago

or STFU

seriously so many omg i haked the ps3 out since launch n yet to see a ps3 game on any torrent site.

"but wouldn't an update reverse this"

FTA:"The theory isn't really patchable, but they (Sony)can make implementations much harder."

If this leads to anything worth getting, Sony can expect a huge sales spike. Crossing my fingers for something like xbmc (the irony).

meh doesn't mean anything, here comes new firmware and its bye bye. PS3 is not PSP

Elven65221d ago

To patch the exploit Sony or any company for that matter would need to know where it is. I'm sure they might already be looking for it just to be on the safe side.

Dellis5222d ago (Edited 5222d ago )

lol at Piratethom being one of the first, dude it will never ever

be hacked, PS3 is the only console that will never be hacked, quit the

dream and get ready to play 59.99 for years to come.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow1d 5h ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie7m ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Tody_za12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno11h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno9h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
