The REAL QUESTION is, do WE, as the CONSUMERS deserved this non-sense....CASE CLOSED.....

All out of groans, lucky /facepalm
Sony do not deserve this, Look at all you skids saying they deserved it.. If it wasn't for Sony you'd be paying to go online :/

Jailbreaking your device is not a crime - distributing the information that enables that is protected by law is. GeoHot was fighting to have a law set similar to the current one for cell phones to specifically allow jailbreaking to apply to all or at least game consoles. However, jailbreaking is a direct breach of your Terms of Service agreement. You took the risk and knew of the repercussions that were possible - they don't deserve anything negative towards them.


Sony loses money and customers as a direct result of things made possible by jailbroken devices. People quit buying and using the PS3 after the 'mass hackings' of MW2. Though it was a small faction of players - it was a clear loss. They also lose money from piracy - and you can't say "I wasn't going to buy it anyway." That logic is the most retarded thing I've ever heard - you may not have bought it, so Sony may not have lost money from you. However, the publishers of software for the PS3 sign agreements with Sony, who say they will protect their intellectual property - including game piracy and DLC content. Piracy hurts the main company (Sony), publishers, developers and the consumer. Future publishers may stray away from Sony because of the flaws shown in their security, which will hurt the consumer.


I am in no way against jailbreaking and homebrew - I support the idea that you should be able to do whatever you want to do to your console. BUT, if you breach the terms of service, don't complain if you get banned. I am, however, against piracy.

Nope. It's stupid & pointless. Boo-fuc*ing-hoo you got banned for hacking their console on their network. People should've just let Sony be and none of this shit would be happening. But the nerds always wanna take it too far....

well the way i interpreted ur post i thought u were talking to me so sorry for that bud.

Why in the world would they have deserved this? Things like these just give a few people a challenge because hacking is all over the place in the world, and its just a group of stupid idiots who took it too far. They didnt deserve any of this because why would they want to keep 77 million users offline?

Oh look post 711. I think ill go to 7-11 and get a slurpee and watch this thread break out with people's opinions.
