HSx9 was the first to hack splitscreen on mw2. All it took was simple hex editing, you just have to have basic knoledge to do that. On the other hand George Hotz aka GeoHot is famous and is the first person to ever hack the iphone/ipodtouch. He was able to get read/write access to the ipods cpu and make any changes he wanted to. Because of this he was able to unlock the iphone. So he traded his unlocked 8GB iPhone to Terry Daidone, the founder of Certicell, for a Nissan 350Z car and three 8GB iPhones to give to his teamates at the iphone unlock team.
Recently GeoHot Bypassed the hypervisor on the ps3 which is its security system and gain read/write access to it. Soon we may be able to have mw2 lobbies on ps3 because if he can edit patches and rip ps3 games with linux he can download the patch and load it.
The only problem it is not easy like the Xbox's JTAG port it will be alot harder to do.
Clearly GeoHot wins on hacking.
The only people that would be able to challenge him would be the team that ddos'ed AT&T
