So, looks like the ps3 is completely hacked.

Just FYI: Sony has been sending out messages to "offending" ps3 accounts warning them to not use hacked firmware or their psn access is blocked. However, there have also been a large number of people who aren't hacked at all who also got the message. It sounds more and more like Sony can't nail down specific offenders and are trying to scare all into making sure their stuff is legit. If they start handing bans to the same people they sent messages to, they will be banning a number of legitimate users.
 
I had to do some user agreement today that I've never seen before. Wouldn't let me sign in. Thought that was odd but I guess it's related to all the hacking fucktards once again screwing shit up for the legit crowd.

I believe I stated that this was going to happen.

Hackers can now change their console ID, and effectively ban other people.

Now that is funny. A part of feels its messed up, that's just so over the line. Another is like that's what you get for being so stupid to willing give up your id to some stranger. But that's like part of something bigger and what i feel people getting dumber as we become more digital.

Assuming that Sony cross-references against IP at minimum, I don't think that this is a problem for legitimate users. It's pretty obvious if a console suddenly changes location coincident with suspicious behavior.

What happens when someone is getting console IDs from new ones in the store? What happens when someone comes up with a generator? Dynamic IPs are the norm in the home setting.

Sony lost this round, they can't ban consoles permanently if they are not 100% sure they are hacked.

didn't MS ban modded 360 that turned out to be not modded at all?
 
dont' have my ps3 here with me but isn't the console id different from the serial number.

I know for the 360 they are not the same. Its not even on the box or in the window.

going with that line of thought unless someone comes up with a generator its not possible just walk into stores that have the boxes out and copy down the a new one.

Why would the thread be locked? Wasn't that the whole point of the recent court case? That hacking/jailbreaking/rooting your electronic devices, while against TOS, is perfectly legal?

There are plenty of legal things that AT is not the place for.

There is also a little forgotten thing in today's world called ethics.

I am all for a hack that gives someone more use out of a device, but so many use these kinds of hacks to steal content/things.
 
so keep the tools that are piracy related out of the thread?

they recently added ntfs support iirc. things like that, getting xbmc to it, getting mkv support on there. surely that would all be fine?
 
he finds more meaning in intelectual persuits/challenges. what's bad about that?

means he has far more ability than 99% of people in this thread - me included
