(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Having told PlayStation 3 owners not to update their consoles to the latest 3.21 firmware, iPhone hacker GeoHot has returned to announce that he has now implemented custom firmware on Sony’s

Writing on his blog, he states “Here is a video demoing my “custom firmware”. I would have added something showing off the new features of 3.21, but oh wait, there aren’t any. This can be installed without having to open up your PS3, just by restoring a custom generated PUP file. It’s possible this CFW will also work on the slim to actually *enable* OtherOS; I’ll know when my infectus gets here.”

As to whether he’ll eventually release this to the public is unknown at this time, but the future of the console in regards to piracy certainly looks under threat if it does.

He finally thanks Sony, writing “Note to the people who removed OtherOS, you are potentially turning 100000+ legit users into “hackers.” There was a huge(20x) traffic spike to this blog after the announcement of 3.21. If I had ads on this site I guess I’d be thanking you.”

No release date yet, use the proxy hack to play online with 3.15.

I agree they should not have removed this feature but then again its his fault anyway. What an arsehole why couldnt he just leave the ps3 alone hes making 100000+ people turning into hackers because they removed this feature because of him

If I could legally kill him, I would. If & when this leads to piracy, Sony will take a hit. Xbox 360 can handle it because it's core audience is 12 year olds who aren't smart enough to get or burn pirated games. But PS3 actually has older & smarter players who follow instructions very well.

How many?! Seriously, there will onlt be about 100 people who will actually open up their PS3s and tamper with it to allow access to the hypervisor.
