    Sony Computer Entertainment Australia has been granted a temporary injunction to block the sale and distribution of those pesky mod chips. Until August 31st no one will be able to sell, import or export the devices and any firms with stock will have to release the units to Sony. 

They probably gonna release a firmware that blocks all outside external drives.......that would be a last resort in my mind.

Yes, to be honest. I think Sony doesn't really care about modding / hacking.
They just pretend to care?

YES and forced the manufactor to surrender all the Jailbreak USBs, chips and data for review. You know SONY is going to F$#K something up so they don't work. either with the UNIT or a PATCH.

I would not be surprised if the break the devices in such a way as you plug it in and your PS3 fries or becomes a pretty paperweight.

Its all speculation, Right Now from what I have read it looks like the Device does a simple stack/buffer overflow, Therefore no sony code was used.
