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.

When you buy anything electronic, you are buying the hardware and a license to use the software/firmware that comes with it. When you breach the ToC, Sony can revoke your license, and legally disable the software/firmware on your PS3. The only thing the consumer owns is the hardware.
They use to let you put your own os/applications but then they removed it. They cant change a contract.

Sony can't brick your console because you never broke the law by installing the CFW, and by installing homebrew. If they brick your console, that's against several laws and they WILL be sued for vandalism (It IS vandalism because once you purchase it, it is legally yours, and if they break it in ANY way you CAN sue them) and since about 20% of PSN users now have the CFW, sony can't afford to lose 20% of their customers AND have all of those customers sue them, they'd go completely bankrupt.

They CAN, but it IS illegal, you legally purchased and own that console, you have not broken any laws to obtain that console, and you have not broken any laws using that console, any damage they cause to that console maliciously is vandalism.

he's absolutely right. they cant ban u bacause you havent broken any laws (unless ur running pirated backups....or any cause im sure they wont care and still ban u). but if u put cfw on your system the only thing u could possible do is void the warranty. it's like them saying you cant take your system apart to replace the power supply if it burns out or they'll ban u.(i replaced mine)

With that said I DOUBT, SERIOUSLY SONY would start bricking consoles all over the world as that would only SELL MORE XBOX'S...LOL plus this could only open the door for a CLASS ACTION Lawsuit against them and while SONY might win I'm sure they don't want to spend that amount of money on legal fees.
i lol'd @ selling xboxes, thats true as pie man sony cant afford to brcik the ps3's that have cfw, they can only ban people. end of story
