(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I decided to ring Sony and inquire about the apparent mass ban which has been rumored. The ban from Sony is a complete online disable, no more psn I believe, although other sources have stated it's a full disable, you can't do anything, just error messages, but I guess that's unlikely.
My conversation with Sony man:

Me: hello, I'm just wondering, I have seen several articles on the Internet about Sony planning on mass banning ps3's soon. Is this true??

Sony: well a recent breach in the ps3's security allowing custom made firmware had been spreading around, and yes this is a miss use and a breach in the code of conduct, and yes people are going to be banned since it's a serious matter.

Me: I have also heard black ops has had something to do with the bans, anyone who has been banned on black ops are getting banned as well supposedly??

Sony: well the ban is mainly for anyone who has messed with their firmware, but also, black ops us playing a part, A console ban from black ops is also a serious matter, and hacking with custom firmware is responsible I believe.

Me: I was playing online, I joined a normal public match and it was a strange modded lobby, and I left and my stats were changed and my rank, next thing I know I get a console bam for something I didn't do.

Sony: well I understand that hackers have been doing stuff to black ops and many bans have been given out.

Me: since I'm console banned does that mean Im going to get completely banned by Sony??

Sony: well I shouldn't think so, since it's ideally the firmware altering which the ban is designed for, but since black ops is also a part being considered, I can't promise you won't be banned completely, sorry for not being able to provide more information.

Me: Suck my Dick, you ban us your gonna get ****ed in the ass bitch. (Lol jokes.... I wish I said that Happy )

Basically he said I am at risk off being completely banned off ps3, just for a black ops ban, he himself didn't know much more.

What do you guys think??

No flaming me please

I had 3.55CFW, went back to 3.55OFW, restored my PS3 to factory settings... waited about 14 hours... then I updated to 3.56OFW.

I was only on CFW for a few days, never hacked or anything like that, I'm not banned from B.O. I played a game from my HDD but used WipeMe etc frequently.

So yeah, if I do then so be it; take the chance, pay the price.


I hope they don't ban us, because they said people that messed with there firmware, which I did...

Sony Representative: Well as long if you didn't modify your system and broke the the license agreement then your system should be fine. but if you did modify your system then there's a chance your console would be disabled and nonoperational.

Me: soo basically as long if I didn't moddify my ps3 and if im on3.56 then I should be fine.

Sony: yes if your on 3.56 then your system will be fine

Me: well thank you for your information bye.

Soo as long if your on 3.56 without updating with CFW you should be fine.


Nice story Happy but wat if you DID have CFW but got rid before update? maybe they will not ban us?
If I get banned im ringing them 24/7 til they unban :carling:

I got off the phone with activision it already had a listing for black ops and directed me to a customer support without any problems. But I talked to the guy regarding black ops. he seemed pretty cool. and i used a sure fire excuse to try to get my console unbanned from black ops. I told him I bought a ps3 that was already banned from black ops. but i turns out there is no possible way to get unbanned. idk if the other people who did call in got unbanned or not, because im reading alot of treads saying they called activision or they called sony and made up an excuse and they got unbanned. I think thats bogus.

I reckon they do have the power to unban you they just dont want to :carling: they will obviously unban before the maps since they will lose like $750,000 from all the banned people
