(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok so as we all know GeoHot has done it , and there is all the more reason to believe him ! He hacked the iPhone 2G and managed to unlock it two days after it was released. But back to the ps3 , hmmmm hack what does that mean ? Well im sure as help you idea of hacking is "OMFG FREE GAMES !" . That is wrong ! what this leads to in reverse engineering. This leads to understand how the playstation works. It took Geroge over 3 years and we still know very little. We need to find out how to fake signatures on the ps3. We need to take baby steps. He said he will release the hack soon but only time will tell. Free games are still a long way off. Its a lengthy process to rip playstation games , we dont even know if we can fake repacking them. All i can say for sure is that free games are a long way off.

sucks bro theres a bypass for this

Hacking is not just about free games.

Remember that the whole way a PS3 is setup is because a SMALL group of people got together and deemed it. And then Marketing got involved and they tweaked it.


You used to be able to turn on a PS3 and have it set so that what ever disk was in it would automatically start up. remember that.

Well a few updates ago when they worked over the interface that feature went away. They still have start disk on insertion but who takes out a disk every time they turn off a machine.

Note: My apologies if this feature is still present I figured that since after the update it quit working and I took like 2 minutes to find the setting again and couldn't I figured it was gone but this is still a good example.

Also when you turn on a machine what does it always start on? The Playstation Network-What's new Which are a bunch of ads basically.

Now when you move over to the Game Menu what is the item it lands on, Playstation Store (Which is the second place you can access the store from, the first being under.....where you started at the Playstation Network main tab!

What just happened was marketing taking over the user interface they dictated how things go not from a friendly user experience view but from a lets milk every dollar we can out of them by force feeding the commercial aspect of the PS3 to them.

Some one at Sony figured out that if people turned on the PS3 and it went right into the game more than likely when you were done with the game you just turned it off. You never saw any of Sony's other revenue streams for the PS3. So they took that feature away and while they were at it they made sure you saw the revenue streams by putting them right there every time you started the system.

Now if you could Hack the system would you not be interested in being able to once again dictate how your system starts and what it starts into?

Just one example of many. You I and everyone else has different agenda's then companies. We are looking to maximize our experience they are looking to maximize profits and those two things are like fire and ice.

So by hacking the system you can take back and enjoy it rather than be ruled by it. Plus at several million machines out there there are good ideas floating around that never get heard or used because they are not part of Sony's small (relative to the masses of users) Dev team.

speaking from my experence with hacking/hackers...

a VERY small % want to do something worthwhile with it

psp hackign to control cisco blah blahs
psp remote
themes for the iphone
dvd playback for the wii

but a good 90%+ want to pirate something

be it emulators
be it full retail titles

in the end its piracy on either end... usually homebrew boils down to a bunch of poorly coded useless things, unless you think a psp bittorrent is a good idea and emulators =\

haha yeah same here dude

yuh i bet you pirated games wont come out until ps4 LoL

will the PS3 be able to get viruses on it if it does get hacked?!?!?!?

Hi, does anyone know roughly when it will be available for the public to run homebrew code fairly easily on the PS3. Just im starting to be a bit impatient and strongly considering buying a xbox 360 just run the homebrew stuff:confused:

wow, thats different

You are why the MPAA and the RIAA are going after pirates. Shouldn't have even bought a PS3 if you were only interested in pirate games.
