Sony have and will always have the rights to ban people using CFW on their network. (We own machine not PSN)

If you run any Homebrew unsigned by Sony and they find out yes they can ban from PSN.

Sony can NOT brick your PS3.


How do u know huh? This is your 1st post on here....wow

Basically they covered most of it.
