I am sure if they start banning they are not going to lose much money. Why would they? People been saying this, but do you honestly think the majority of people will actually begin to pay for content off PSN when they can have it for free? One of the many requested thing on every hacking site is a backup manager. It won't affect them much, if anything a console ban may increase console sales, or as some have been doing buying another PS3 for non hacking purposes.




I don't see why they can't even if they loose. This court case is about hardware and what you should be able to do with it. If it goes with Geo rulling, Sony still has complete control over PSN and can ban if they wish to. It wouldn't be breaking court rules since even if they ban they can still run all the latest homebrews and ect. In fact to get online we have to agree with their rules. So regardless if Jailbreak becomes legal which would make it your right to do anything to your own property, the online portion (PSN) is still a privilege that can be taken away.


Customer service has been strange with their responses. We are getting confirmation of bans and no bans. I emailed them a few days back as well and now telling me that they might do bans but they are unsure at the moment.


We wouldn't be online (PSN), and they can't ban base off that due to the fact that not everyone updates (even legit user) right away.

Sony will start banning when the court rules jailbreaking ps3's ILLEGAL, if it works out that way

If the court decides it's legal, they can't do shit.

Reason why is because they can't tell who have CFW and OFW, so they can't ban us. BUT if with the new FW "3.60" they will be able to see who has a CFW and who dont (because obvious a CFW has different/more/less features that OFW)

So probably yes they will ban, we can't be sure of the answer because it is up to Sony. But with a new firmware they can detect who has it or who doesnt.

There is nothing that says using homebrew is illegal, therefore, they cannot ban me.

you couldnt be more wrong. the courtcase basically means that its illegal to distribute jailbreak devices. sony lost against geohot, making the device legal in the us. Although a major chipping/Mod supplier in Australia lost to sony. And the jailbreak is illegal in australia.
No matter what Sony can place bans, its their network, they were just trying to make "geohot" stop all the shit to make their "bricking" or "banning" useless
