Is the PS3 hackable?

What is the current state of the PS3's ability for homebrew? game-disk circumvention?

Not hacked.

Sony allows for installation of Linux, and through that you can play all sorts of homebrew games.

True, but the graphics chip is locked when using Linux.

i remember reading they found a way to play a BR game off the hdd. But you needed a specific patch for each game, still looking for any news on that.

Well, when was the last time homebrew on a 3d system got to use the graphics chip anyway?
