Sony and Geohot case settled

Something doesn't feel right.
How can this have been settled almost 2 weeks ago, with the media only catching wind of it now?
The preliminary deal was probably made on the 31st, and they probably only finalised it relatively recently.
They can boycott Sony as much as they like though, at the very least it doesn't affect everyone else. And my PSP is staying right where it is. I'm gonna get myself the new one too, when I can afford it :D
Same here! Sorry Geohotz I appreciate what you did, but I can't boycott Sony... I will have a PS4 too.
Hooray!
Geohotz has "maned up" abit here, his intentions were good but as we know we all do make mistakes...
Sadly the flood gates have opened but good on geohotz for stepping up and ending this, these things tend to drag on forever.
Now Sony must look to protect the PS3 in any way they can...
Not all that simple actually.Quote:

They couldn't win both, because their lawyers screwed up.
I just hope this sends out a VERY clear message to wannabe console hackers/cheaters/pirates out there.
They've already killed the PC gaming scene - leave consoles alone!
Neo you just missed the point of what was done and lost , cheater s and pirates are such s small part of what was enabled with root not everything is about the stupid pirates and haxers ....there are other implications for the technology
