RUMOR: Sony could (may) remotely disable all Jailbroken/hacked PS3's!

To date, Sony's response to the jailbreak has been limited to mandatory firmware updates and revoking PSN access to those that refuse to use official system software.

However, a report by Digital Foundry claims that Sony can take far more drastic measures. Even if you've never signed up for a PSN account, your console will communicate with Sony servers every time it boots up. That initial load process is used to upload error logs, download updates to the "What's New" module, and a list of recently-run applications, including any unauthorized backup manager software.

Sony has yet to ban any consoles for taking advantage of the jailbreak, but the terms and conditions of the PlayStation Network make it clear that Sony has the authority to carry them out. Thanks to the system's constant self-reporting feature, "the company even has the means to irrevocably disable your console should it so wish," rendering affected PS3 consoles unusable, online and off. But will Sony ever use such a drastic measure? And if so, how will the hacker scene retaliate?
The Banhammer May Be Coming

Here is the list and what they do, I port sniffed this a while ago before I went online with a retail unit >.> because I am not stupid hehe.

Code:
fus01.ps3.update.playstation.net > Update Server (sys updates)
mercury.dl.playstation.net > What's new ads
nsx.np.dl.playstation.net > playstation store preview
nsx-e.np.dl.playstation.net > ads
(main file exchange connections)
us.np.stun.playstation.net > on boot initiates connection
ena.net.playstation.net > SSLv3 connection after above connection
dus01.ps3.update.playstation.net > secondary update attempt (could force updates)
auth.np.ac.playstation.net > SSLv3 authentication server
(destination servers)
service.playstation.net (has multiple IPs if only the ip address is blocked)
(Error Reporting)
creepo.ww.hl.playstation.net (uploads crash reports etc.)
Almost all connections cannot just be port blocked, the port will continue to increment until it connects, you have to block the entire domains. Also a big point is that ALL computers on your network need to have these blocked not just the PS3's MAC because if you are running a proxy for example to get patches, the computer you proxy to will just allow the connections right out to the open unless all local IPs are blocked from these sites as well.

Original Story: In Theory: Will Sony ban PSN Jailbreakers? | DigitalFoundry (via) Eurogamer.net

how can they see what uve done if u havent even fukin connected to the internet? fukin dumb u need internet to see what we have done

For the last time, it is not legal for them to do that. The PS3 is our property.

They would have done it by now...

If they ban my console i'm just gonna go rent a f*ck load of games and back them up on my hard drive and return them and repeat but with different games, i mean if i play most of my games for the online experience why the f*ck should i pay for them when i can't play online

Plus i could just use Xlink for Online (i suspect LOTS more people will use it when a ban wave comes)

im not sure but im gonna check, the ps3 can be used as a location free player i remember reading about it int manual an if it can be used in that way sony can access it without ethernet cable, but like i said im not sure but im gonna check
