That been said:

I have seen a lot of people talking about Sony releasing a new firmware update that will possibly brick your PS3. Well, i have something to say about this: Well as all of you may know, us jailbreaking our own purchased PS3's can actually benefit Sony's sells; how many kids out there probably went a head and bought new PS3 just because they knew it will be jailbreak-able or just because they could have "Cl's" on Modern Warfare 2. More thing that will prevent Sony from bricking our PS3's is that they cant brick something WE HAVE BOUGHT. They simply cant do that, i for one, will sue the fuk outta them if they do that, thats simple nonsense, plus we all have to remember Sony is a multimillion company, probably the best in the world when it comes to electronics (not sure about this). A third point is that jailbreaking and running your own custom code is actually LEGAL as it is LEGAL to jailbreak an iDevice. I hope this cleared some confusions, and thanks for reading Smile

Yes, there well within there rights to "permaban" a PS3 from PSN, but they aren't within any rights to permanently render a console useless via a firmware update.

Even if it IS illegal to sign homebrew...

1: You can't get in trouble if you USED the signed packages, only if you were the one who SIGNED it.

2: Sony bricking your console is also illegal, and Sony CAN be sued for selling a faulty product and vandalism (If you own it and they break it, it's vandalism), and if EVERYONE with CFW sues them, they WILL go bankrupt...

Yes Sony are going to ban half the people on PSN thereby making them want to buy a new PS3 because sony have treated their customers so well /sarcasm.

It would be business SUICIDE to do that & they would lose 10+ million customers which would put them out of the console business for good.

Even if they do brick consoles, you can fix it easily.

but we aren't signing things, we are just running homebrew, and homebrew isnt forgery... running backups is.
