Sony Can Completely Disable Your PS3
Sony is doing everything in their power to prevent piracy on the PS3. They already said that they would "fix the issues through network updates". They've even sued Geohot and Fail0verflow.
But now they may be aiming the ban hammer at psn users. After all, Sony has way more access to our PS3's then you think. Every time you turn on your PS3 a log gets sent to Sony. This can potentially show them any homebrew apps your running.
But just banning consoles isn't all, we've all known that for awhile. Now, Sony can completely disable your console if they wanted to so, whether you’re online or offline, you PS3 will remain completely nonfunctional.
If Sony can't fix this CFW expect a wave of bans to come. I'm not trying to scare you, just warning you.

First off why COMPLETELY disable the console? If they did that then well everyone will switch over to xbox most likely. YES they will probly ban you from PSN but no way they are going to completely render your PS3 useless. Also I thought the CFW's were the same and they couldn't detect it?
What if you have CFW but don't run any packages?

I highly doubt as of now they will even ban you... that will make them appear to lose and will undoubtedly lose customers. They will just try to patch it and probably will be able to. If they can't I suppose they will go to banning but that is probably a last resort.
I know some people have already been banned but that's because they have been found, not mass banning.

The Terms and Conditions have not been updated since June 2010.
So before all this hacking started, the terms and conditions prohibited this. You should have read it instead of clicking "Accept"
straight away.
Good Luck to anyone who did hack it, Sony can, will, and IS allowed to do this.[/COLOR]

Oh, they can ban you, they can IP ban you, console ban you, whatever. But they CANNOT disable the console, because them breaking the law is worse than us breaching their Terms and Conditions.
Dylan : Its Dr. Sock Monkey. You know I love you but they have the right to. If you broke the Terms and Conditions they have the right to do that. It is against the law to install a jail break. Why do you think they do it "Privately". Although I like 1337 hackers I do think its stupid.
The PS3 has been out for awhile. Do you think about 100 - 200 PS3s is going to bankrupt Sony? They have much more than just the PS3. You could "Try" and sue them although they will bring proof you have a custom firmware and then they will bring the "Terms and Conditions" out. It says "It is illegal (Under a certain code) to install any custom firmware or a firmware not put out by Sony". I'm sorry but they have every right to do this. In the long run its better just to play legit. Sorry hackers : (
