if you are talking about post 8 hackers always want more. its fine if they want to know how it works. but they want the whole world to know that they can hack so they tell everyone. people by nature are greedy and want more. sony wanted the ps3 to only do what they wanted it to do. they did not have to give us otherOS but they did. since hackers have been trying to hack the ps3 sony felt they had to remove otherOS to stop them from using it as a tool.as far as the piracy part i think i went over that in a nother thread. i have to say i agree with you on it all.
if you are talking about post 11 that one is a little hard. first you need to find something that you can compare. to me cars and guns are ment to be modded. they have a ton of after market parts for them. i think you need to look at dvd players or tv's something that does not have a ton of aftermarket parts for it.
but thats just me.

my bad. i didnt pay that much attention to that post. it doesnt really compare very well since blu ray is about 50% or more of the ps3 and with out it sony would have to go back to dvd,cd or just download

Yeah, Sony messed up, but so did this jerk.
I hope this set of hackers who did this pay dearly and in prison.
I hope Geo and those maggots at Anon grow up and stop screwing with other people's stuff.
The hackers are 80% to blame in this.
Yeah GeoHot is bitter all right, considering he wasn't the one who stole all of that personal info. And how did GeoHot mess up, exactly? Because if I recall correctly, he made available a CFW for PS3 in response to Sony removing the 'Install Other OS' feature. Not only that, he also revealed PS3's security key, and as far I can tell, both the CFW and the root key work FREAKIN GREAT. So tell me how he messed up again?
Normally, I don't care who gets the first post in an article, but why you?

GeoHot is the specific reason OtherOS was removed. GeoHot gave up on Hacking the PS3 because he couldn't do it, to only get back into it when someone stole a service stick from Sony and reverse engineered it. HE DIDN'T HACK ANYTHING. Nothing. HE didn't hack the PS3 with HIS own code that HE wrote. GeoHot then revealed Copyrighted Intellectual Property (security key) of which was not his because he threw a tantrum. Then to top it all off when he knew he was going to lose, he copped a plea and settled. All of which lead to consumer accounts being compromised in his name....pffft ~ Yeah he did sooooo much for consumer rights.
