The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 13 October, 2010
Sony has made several moves to combat piracy on the PlayStation 3 (PS3) console following the release of PSJailBreak and other solutions based on the same trick. Firstly, it closed the USB exploit with firmware 3.42. Later on, another firmware change included a whitelist of USB devices, which also caused some controller incompatibilities.
Now some game titles are also reportedly prepared ... [ read the full article ]

Sony...you started the war when you removed OtherOS support just because some guy enabled the GPU (or got close to enabling the GPU). You punch, we kick. You kick, we stab. You cannot make games unhackable, you can only make them too difficult for the average person to apply a crack to...and if you do that, they you will loose sales because people will be forced to download the pirate copy; there will be no reason to buy the game.

They are not going to give up; they are going to keep fighting until all their loyal users are their enemies...until all the games have always-on DRM...until even non-jb users switch to PSN alternatives because there are more people there. Sony wants a fight...and they have it. It won't stop until sometime in 2013; after the first price break for the PS4.

So they up the encryption, that is a new trick haha so let's hope Dark Alex is working on m33 for ps3. Once we get to that point it is all downhill.
As others have said above the ps3 is not worth it and Sony will rather put their customer base in harms way just to save little revenue from Pirates.
Sony lets make a deal give us linux back and we will not completely let this blow up in your face. That's fair

But Sony don't deserve to be called a Gaming Company, They are bigger toss pots then EA and as everyone knows they are the biggest Tools in the business, the sell out's that they are.
As a Developer, Yes Developers need to get paid and i am sure everyone will support that and yes it is their system that can not even be used to it's original or full capabilities.
I am sorry the gaming community does not support rich and stupid people, Sony should support real developers and fix up their console so we can stop laughing at them after god only knows how long.
Sony is and forever will be a joke to gaming community.

Sony is and forever will be a joke to gaming community.
100+ Million PS1's Sold
145+ Million PS2's Sold (AND STILL COUNTING)
62+ Million PSP's Sold/Selling
38+ PS3's Million Sold/Selling (and that total was back in June 2010)
2+ Million PS Moves Sold/Selling in JUST 1 Month and JUST the EU & US alone (not out yet in Japan)
NUMEROUS AAA + Games of the Year by 1st & 3rd party devs across ALL gens, genres and ALL consoles
That sure as hell doesn't sound, look or seem like a "joke" to me...nor anyone else with a bit of credibility in the industry. Sorry ~ but you are sorely mistaken because you believe your "opinion" equates to fact when it does not.

247 million units Sony sold by your figures.
6,697,254,041 Population of Earth Today
As of June 2010, there are over 41.7+ million Xbox 360 consoles worldwide. Compared to your 38+.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360 3rd paragraph
360 has this generation, i will admit last generation Sony did have the upper hand but after their market testing xbox the first it was just a take over after that.
The last and most important point i am going to make is that how many times has sony been in the news the last several weeks for acting stupid. Everyone don't give your money to 3rd party controller as they will blow up with no evidence so you have to buy our controllers. That was funny, just summed up their intelligence quite nice don't you think.
Being a GT fan would be the only way i would get a ps3 but i don't think i would even allow the console in my house.
Sony = Fail

Xbox 360 outsold Wii and PS3 for the fourth consecutive month in the US during September, according NPD figures provided by Microsoft.

Zealousi, find another source to confirm your data as shouldn't trust ms or sony for data but a third party to confirm either company's data. it is like enron saying we are making all kinds of money when they were actually loosing it by the dump truck load.

NPD does not equal the world.
The 360 does not have this gen. The Wii has something to say about that. Plus for a console that has had up to One and a Half year of a sales lead to be passed by the "inferior" Wii and be ONLY a few Million ahead of a the PS3 (which has ALWAYS been more expensive & MILLIONS of RROD repurchases)...your opinion doesn't make much sense when it's put into a truthful perspective.

And this from the other thread about GT ~
AS a gamer who has completed every GT to date with 1 mill in the bank on each save file, this is very disappointing to read but i do not support sony what so ever as they are the biggest Jews in the gaming industry along with EA.....As a matter of fact they are best friends with EA.
Racist much? SMH...whatever
For someone who claims to be such a fan of a game then why wouldn't you play the game? You don't make excuses to not play something you so dearly like if you are a GAMER. Period.

what? i'm confuse by your statement. let me get this right.
so, if i buy a ps3 game and i wasn't able to hack/crack it or make copies/backup, therefore i won't buy it, but instead i download the pirate version and that make sony lose money.
or
if sony don't make their games unhackable. the average person will jailbreak their ps3 and download pirate version, therefore sony will lose money.

again, what? so, you saying that all their loyal users jailbreak their ps3, so therefore that make them enemies of sony. and how do you know this? why does it matter if sony put DRM on the game or block jailbreaker from PSN? oh, i know...it is call "How To Run A Business".

In some cases it is just as you say. More cases, people want freedom Sony wants to take away from them. It is like jailbreaking phones. Most person don't care if Apple doesn't want you to use certain apps on the phone they created. Others fee they bought is so it is theirs. I personally have a huge issue with Sony telling me what shows I can watch on my Sony TV.
Many of these companies want you to buy all their products and play by their rules. You don't have to buy their products. You also don't have to play by their rules even though you bought their product. Some persons prefer to do that.

I am for Sony's demise because they sold me a computer with a gaming feature and then came into my home and stole the computer they sold me. Most people that bought a PS3 with the, "Other operating System," feature paid much more than those that simply bought a gaming console thus it was theirs and not Sony's. Sony is a thief yet wants to claim, "Clean Hands," when their property is stolen.

Pointless/useless, maybe to those with the intelligence of a rock. Other OS was A very strong selling point as it had many useful feature to those that had no intention of gaming.
A server for instance, would you buy A $3000 dollar Cell based Server made by IBM or a $600 dollar PS3 with the same tech link 4 or more together and you have a supercomputer.
it also extremely useful for compiling. cell is a good 5x times faster than your standard server based Xenon or Opteron.
