Hi,

What you describe is piracy and illegal.

We will take action if it is legal or if it stops at the ban the device is not decided yet.



Sincerely / Best Regards

Hello!
I was wondering if you might be permanently banned if you install custom firmware on their PS3?
And what are the consequences if you save a game that I have already bought in earlier to the hard drive?
Thanks!


I'm not being scared of what he says. I'm going to install Backups anyway! But what do u guys think?

It's called Scare Tactics. It's not like they're gonna say, "Oh feel free, go right ahead and Jailbreak you console It's not like we care about our system". They have NO solution for this yet so in the mean time they want to scare people away from it.

Sony cannot afford banning people.

Eek

surely they would lose lots and lots of customers?


They would ban your mac address not your ip?

Dear Sony, I am writing due to a recent PS3 exploit that has hit the web. I have much concerns for this exploit as i have already seen multiple friend on my list (who are now deleted) running the following program: FTP, Back-Up Manager, and even running Modern Warfare 3 Beta (there is none). Now i have joined a few online matches in Modern Warfare 2 only to be de-ranked to Lv. 1, or join rooms where a player is impossible to win against.
My only question is: What is going to be done to solve these issues?
I have read over the User Agreement, however none of the banning actions have taken place yet.



here was their answer

You talkin to me?
I don't know why people email Sony asking questions where you already know what SONY is going to say. Its just like going "HEY SONY!! Keep track of me because I've been thinking about hacking!! OK?! GREAT!!! THANKS!!"

Just don't see the point of asking questions such as these
