Rumour: PS3 cracked by hackers

u got a point here. now i see where u coming from, i didnt thought about that…
but still, it surely is possible they can do that imo (legals aside)

wow, 3rd page of comments. See the abyss of the human mind.

Technically, yeah, I reckon they could with ease.

You’d probably know about it when it rebooted on you.

Edit – Actually, thinking about it a little more… you can’t update a firmware whilst the console is doing something, you risk frying it. So at minimum it would need to stop you for the install.

no think simple:
in one of the last fws they also enabled the ability to imcremently patch. just the new code gets applied, not the complete fw as a whole.
This together with the assumed not-so-big fix for this and that teh patch gets first just downloaded and with the next boot applied and u have a go.
the fix could very well be so small in size the user wouldnt even notice anything abnormal.

OT: when i edit a comment and click submit i just get a blank white page*, but the comment gets edited. but the article doesnt get loaded again. anyone getting the same?

i for myself also cant relay imagine they would do this, but the posibility exists if u ask me.

there is a reason why no one have been interested on hacking ps3 cos for now the empty blu ray disc still expensive is like buying a used original game that come 2 year age when the 360 empty disc is like 25 euro for like 25 dvd dl

@105 you can use flash disks or HDD, so your thinking here is absolutely wrong.

I hope not Sony gonna disable USB port, gonna be hard to charge my controllers.

Sony will come up with something to keep, hackers out the door

They actually can remove USB device in the next SKU’s, but thats about it actually.

They’re not going to remove USB support. Dear lord.

@109 you are *censored* as always. I’m not saying about a USB function. I said about the DEVICE.

they can have slots that will recharge controllers only.

That’s a little harsh Erthazus. What you said really did make it look like you meant they could stop allowing USB devices in future SKUs.

Even if you just meant they might just allow recharging, that’s still not going to happen because Move / PlayTV / Buzz etc are going to struggle to work without fully functioning USB ports.

I assume what you’re trying to say is that they’ll detect and block this device if plugged into a USB port on future revisions of the hardware, which yes, seems likely.

You are right, i censored my words a little bit. Can’t stand for the stupidity.

“I assume what you’re trying to say is that they’ll detect and block this device if plugged into a USB port on future revisions of the hardware, which yes, seems likely.”

That won’t help much because Clone devices are in the production i’m sure.

but Sony on this one blowed themselves pretty much

“That won’t help much because Clone devices are in the production i’m sure.”

Yes, but this device will have an ID string which will be on an approved list that each console stores locally. Whilst clones will be in production, they like wont be able to generate fake IDs which the system will allow to function.

most comments av ever seen ps3 fan boy shit
