Some time last month hackers released software that lets users play pirated materials. But Sony promptly released a security patch in yesterday's 3,41 update.

 

After spending tens of thousands fighting hackers and distributors in an Australian Court, Sony Computer Entertainment, who are currently suffering from falling revenues and sliding profits, has rolled out a software fix that prevents pirated games being played on the PS3 console. The move is set to upset hackers who shortly before the court case finished, released the software for free online.

That's good I was unaware of these hackers.. How can they hack a PS3?

I hate hackers like the ones on Xbox that just ruin the game for everyone. My Brother was a EXhacker and Microsoft almost sued him over it.

Meh, that's fine. My Wii's hacked, that's all the hacked systems I need, although it'd be nice for Sony to let us do what we want with our systems (like installing our games on the HDD, or bring back Linux). Making programs and stuff for my Wii is pretty fun and all.

 

Before anyone flames me for having a hacked Wii, I am not a pirate. Hacker, yes, but pirate, no. Contrary to popular belief, hackers aren't all pirates. Everything that I play on my Wii (besides from homebrew games) was bought with my hard-earned money, or ROMs of games I physically own the cartridge for. Sure there's some download stuff which I regret downloading, but hey, that's the way it works.

you can rationalise it, but it it doesnt change the fact that the majority of hackers do it to pirate, I know its a sshame about Linux but hackers would take advantage of that
