Im 20 you moron. Before you call me the kid, Learn to construct a ****ing sentence first asshole.

that told me? i said opinion not some nerd telling me his "FACTS"

sony knew this would happen, they have been warned by many a long time ago....helll even geohot warned them their security was a joke.....

i dont feel bad for sony at all... yes they did deserve this.....maybe they will wake up now....it SUX for us the CONSUMERS...

there, you asked, and I answered, boo hoo to sony.... shame on them......

Nah no prob. I could see how you could get that mixed up. But I just meant in general to the hackers who put PSN down.

Yes, and I corrected your opinion with my 'facts' because your opinion was highly uneducated and lacked any support.

yea they deserved it. false advertising

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.

that told me? i said opinion not some nerd telling me his "FACTS"

No. Considering we have been without PSN 2 weeks, PS3 could have went under forcing us to Xbox and Thousands of innocent Sony employees potentially losing their jobs.

Having a slow ass Linux aint worth all that. It was removed like TWO years ago and it didn't propel Sony to number # 1 console levels. It's like buy a PC and run Linux on that.



How is it false advertisement? If you went to Walmart to buy a PS3 today does it still say "Install Other OS"?

EXACTLY. Hacking is fine as long as you don't feel entitled to be able to do so. Priacy is to save money which is fine. Sony trying to stop Priacy is also fine. People act like they are fighting the man but in reality they just want CFW and/or free shit.

A nerd is someone who would say Sony deserved all this for removing a lame ass OS and trying yo prevent money loss on their third place console.

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 :/

Are you retarded? They didn't false advertise anything.

Lets take OtherOS into account. Yes I wish it stayed, but you are not forced to update your firmware. Your ToS states that if you wish to continue to use online services, you must stay up to date with FW updates. The ToS also states that you may lose features (such as Other OS) when updating. All of this was stated, it is just ignorant people who don't understand the literature of contracts when they buy something. Perhaps next time you will actually read what you are agreeing to before hitting accept.

yes but then when you spend your hard earn money on a new game you can't play it online. so wtf. thats why that one guy won his case against sony on the same basis. he DIDNOT UPDATE HIS FW BUT WHEN HE BOUGHT A NEW GAME HE HAD TO UPDATE OR NOT PLAY ONLINE? AND HE WON!!! yes they did false advertise. its either use linux or do play any new game

i bought mines when it was in the advertising. i have a fat 80gb. with 500gb hdd i installed. so yes its false advertising to me. my box says other os on it. wtf .

and i would pay it. money is not the issue. and your gonna groan me cuz of my opinion on FACTS. when i bought my ps3 it said other os system. on the box , in the manual and on tv. so your just a douche who wants to give out groans. they did deserve it. why you think they settled with geohotz? he didnt do anything ILLEGAL!! yes sony deserves this and more.
