Hacking groups have responded to Sony's statement, telling the BBC it will not be possible:

The complete console is compromised - there is no way back. The only way to fix this is to issue new hardware. Sony will have to accept this.

We could only hope they find a way to fix this. All of the little retards who don't know sh*t walk around hosting CLs thinking they're the next best thing is really aggravating me :evil:.

htey didnt really fail, look how long it took for anyone to even get this far and tweak files and hardware, it look way less time to do it with xbox and jtagging. sony did a better job with the security, yet not good enough to keep the pros out.
