Microsoft Offers Geohot Free Phone
Before I begin note that I'm typing this on my IPhone so bare with any mistakes :p.
Microsoft, creator of the Windows 7 phone has contacted George Hotz and offered him one of their sleek new phones.
Yesterday George said on his blog that he plans to buy one of these new phones. In response, Brandon Watson, an entrepreneur for Microsoft, said the following on Twitter:

We all know what George can do. Let's see if he out does himself this time.
This does get me thinking though. Is Microsoft trying to send a message to Sony? While Sony is suing people they're rewarding hackers and asking for Geohots help.

To all the Sony Fanboys have a good time ruing your system and basically making it unplayable i hope in the end it was worth it

your dumb, the only games that are messed up is Call of Duty, no other game is messed up and the Sony can fix that and so can the producers of the games.
I hoping for ownership modification of games only requiring a one time register on a pc and ps3

is it possible that Microsoft had plotted with GeoHot or even with others as well to break the integrity of the PS3 security foundation? if this source is true, then Microsoft had previous knowledge about these ps3 hackers and "encourage" to "wreck havoc" and release "secrets" to the general public, but this is my likely assumption

Great assumption, I could believe that.

Do a barrel roll!
It wouldn't be so far-fetched. Microsoft is the kind of company that stoops really low.
