nsane.forums Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 iPhone hacker George Hotz, aka "GeoHot," was able to finally crack the PlayStation 3... three years after the system's release. He praised the hardware for its security, but now that Sony has responded by removing the Linux capabilities of the PlayStation 3 entirely, the hacker has decided to fight back, warning gamers not to update their systems until he finds a way to keep the Other OS option on the PlayStation 3.The problem for Sony is that GeoHot is now threatening to release custom firmware for the system, which is quite the escalation from what was previously available from the hacking community. "I never intended to touch [custom firmware], but if that's how you want to play..." Hotz wrote on his blog. Sony may have done much more harm than good with its April 1 update.

HX1 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 This is more than likely an attempt to secure their laptops for OS and regular usage while keeping the gaming platform for the games.. IMO.. it should be as able.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
