The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 1 April, 2008
More than a year has passed since PlayStation 3 was released. The whole time hackers have been busy trying to break into the system and run Homebrew, without any luck -- until now. First homebrew software was run on a Firmware 2.20 PS3 yesterday. A simple "Hello World"-program was created by a known PSP hacker Dragula96 and run through a vulnerability in the system architecture.

It's not that I don't trust you, I can completly see that there is a Hello World Program on the PS3. I just want to know if this can actually lead to something and if it's a mod that home users can do. Dragula96, make a Freewebs.com website with details, if this leads somewhere, your site will be really popular just like Dark_Alex's

The thing I really hate about Sony, is their use of firmwares and upgrades they input in the PS3 and PSP. That's their failed attempt to protect their gaming systems behavior protections. Make it nice and easy like the Xbox 1 was. Nothing in this world will prevent this; Microsoft knew about their security flaws within their first console and did not pursue to correct it because it was only going to be a wasted effort and money.

Or their attempt to better the console, like with added features such as Profile 2.0 for Blu-ray or Divx playback functionality.

How can anyone hate firmware updates when that give Sony a chance(or any console company)to improve on your system.So far i wouldn't call firmware a fail attempt when Sony has learned a lesson from the PSP & have Hackers scratching there heads & at a lost of words that they can't crack the PS3.

I dont hate it but nor do i like it, the Firmware updates that is.
Firmware updates,there in lies my problim with it firmware is a Major Operator of PS3 (tells it what to do),but it has major space issues. look at the psp they have updated it so much they had to make another PSP with more ram, that left me and many other's with a bitter taste in there mouth. i Dont like being cheated.
the new question how many updates before your PS3 gets left out of the Major update loop, huh i wonder.
But i like it for the fact that it doesnt sugar coat the updates. as all updates are tied to the hardware. no third party Interpetor.
such as the Xbox Dashboard.

I doubt the PS3 will run out of memory for firmware. With memory so cheap now, it would have been retarded for Sony not to put in around 1GB. 1GB DDR2 RAM for example is $15 or so. a 1GB Flash Drive runs $5-10. Im sure everyone here would have been willing to spend that extra $ so they wouldn't be left behind when with an old revision.

I HIGHLY doubt that that's the real dragula96, and if it is god help us all. Besides its fake, or at least not doing what it was suppose to do.

Well I suppose its better than them making a PSP2, or discontinuing support for the PSP altogether. In fact id go as far as saying f*** skype and all its pansy tassels and frills; go messenger is more than fine for me and my phat psp.

In the video you can clearly see that it is a 80GB PS3... However the article states it has been tested on 40Gb and 60Gb?!
No credibility!

i disagree, i think M$ effectively discouraged most people from modding the 360 by having all xbox 360s be defective, forcing users to rely on their warranties. why else would the RRoD problem still be around after an adequate 3 years to fix it?

What do you mean? They did fix it. You can't just softmod a 360 with a game and a modified game save. You need to flash the firmware on the drive. Any PC DVD ROM drive can have their firmware upgraded, firmware upgrading will always be around as a type of modding. You don't see firmware modding on Sony or Nintendo drives because they don't use normal PC drives. About the RROD, I think it's impossible to prevent. The console is physically too small to handle so much power.

* start up an instant match, set opponents to 0, select mutator option
* go down the list select Hello World, run game.
* hud will be replaced by hello world screen.
There you have the explanation of how this was done..
Now how do you know that what this video shows isn't just some carefully scripted video running from a dvd on a ps3? No proof at all.
Until somebody publishes openly exact instructions to run unsigned code using the ps3 game engines I will not believe a word of it.
It takes about 2 years for a full console to get hacked (if ever). So far all I have heard from the ps3 breakers is.. errrmmm.. nothing.. except some battering on and on about isoloaders. They need to get with it. I will guarantee sony have fixed that hole.
Now about homebrew.. Seriously, most homebrew games are only of interest to the writers themselves. Linux will do everything any homebrew writers could think of.
I hope people do crack this machine wide open.. I really do, so that people can save a fortune by burning these rip off 8 gig games to normal dvd. (not that there is any content worth pirating anyway)
