How do you guys feel about PS3 finally getting hacked?

As it says in one of the feature articles on todays frontpage, the ps3 may have finally been cracked wide open for users to develop apps for in a homebrew channel-esque element and software may be illegally enabled on the console. personally im excited for the cool apps that will come our way as a result.

I'm kindof fasting since the PS3 has been hacked..I wont play my PS3 this week..

Wierd eh..?

I don't like it one bit, some developers really work hard in their games and the thanks they'll be getting from some people is their game being illegally downloaded.MushroomWig

Its not good news, thats for sure.

I am under the impression that this is a big deal, to the point where Sony cannot do anything about this. I hope i am wrong...if not, the PSN could suffer greatly. this sucks.

I honestly don't really care about it being hacked. Everything gets hacked anyways. ImBleedingLAWL

That's like saying I don't care if my store gets stolen from cause every store gets stolen from.

Sony's problem not mine.

Okay then, imagine you're a customer shopping at a store. You shop there because you like their products. One day you go in to buy whatever you usually buy and the price is 10% higher than the last time you bought it. You complain to the manager and he tells you, "I'm sorry but we raised the price to compensate for recent thefts.''.

Nobody stole from you but you will be affected one way or another.

I feel it's not my problem.

History has shown that other system have been hacked long before the PS3. Other systems will be hacked in the future. There is really no point in crying outrage on something that has happened before, was going to happen anyways and will happen again. "Hackers Hack Things"

Whateves.

It's not that big of a deal and it won't affect sales. Case in point, the Wii. >_>

Can people quit posting threads about this. We already came to the conclusion that nobody here cares except for those that make the stupid threads.Elementguy13

I don't like it. Why can't people just quit hacking and support the developers who put a lot of time and effort into creating games.

I've got mixed feelings about it. Firstly, I think the hackers should go to jail for hurting the gaming industry. No one but other hackers have anything good to say on the matter and it doesn't do anyone any good at all. This isall about ego andit hurts everyonewhilehelping no one.

Secondly, sounds like these no-lives could use a job at Sony. Use their talent and hard work to protect something people like instead of destroy it.

anyone want to give me a quick rum down of what this is all about??i havent a clue whats goin on(sorry) but doesnt sound good

My opinion is that anyone trying to make light of the PS3 being hacked is in denial or just does not get it. This in no way, shape, or form is beneficial and what really sickens me are the individuals stating"now I will get a PS3". If you can not afford to purchase software for a system then maybe you should not have that particular system or maybe you should provide the means (Legally, get a job, work, earn something) in order to obtain said software in a legit manner. Sony obviously removes and releases whatever features for it's console when they deem it necessary and that should be respected, if you do not like the PS3 as it is then do not purchase it, do not play it, and move on to another console. I honestly hope there is something Sony can do to combat these recent events and continue to keep the most secure console on the market. Hackers this talented should not waste their time and resources on trying to hack consoles when so many more important issues need addressing....

i haven't read all the posts only the first but i couldn't care less. I'm not planning to use my ps3 any differently now it's been hacked than i did before i was hacked

I think it's kinda neat. I've always been a fan of using my systems in more than one way which is why I was upset when Sony Updated the PS3 to disallow the Linux OS. I'm not a fan of pirating, but hopefully in the future the hackers' findings will allow me to use my system to its full potential.

I don't like it. Why can't people just quit hacking and support the developers who put a lot of time and effort into creating games.

"It is what it is" I have bigger things to worry about.

I think its great that its been hacked !

maybe NOW we'll have the chance to upload our own avatarsLP4EVA2005

Doesn't bother me personally. I believe that if Sony had not been so tight with their system from the beginning they wouldn't have had their system compromised so severely by hackers. Give the owners more rights and control (linux, etc.) over their own system and you will have a more loyal fanbase. The result of Sony's locked down system is that these hackers are fueled to defeat the security and here is your result.

People should really just face the fact that any major system worth hacking, will be hacked given enough time.

hacking i have no problem with

piracy and cheating online i do

support the devs people! keep naughty dog and others in business to keep making friggin amazing games!!!!!

I really don't think there has been a hack since the jailbreak hack was blocked. All this could be what everyone is talking about and seem to have forgotten that Sony has released a firmware to make the hack useless.jimm895
