It's just stupid to go and do something like that.
In all fairness, I would love to know who the idiot was that voted yes!!?! Seriously WTF would you hack your PS3, it's the one console left on the planet that hasn't been affected as badly by piracy compared to the rest of the gaming industry. So why fuck it up now??

Shadowfox's response to me in my failed attempts to annoy himOriginally Posted by ShadowFox
Selfishness knows no bounds?
As for who voted yes ... well, I could almost definitely finger one or two folk on this forum that would do it. Y'know. Cos games are like ... expensive and stuff. Especially PS3 games. And cheating makes up for a lack of skill and/or sportsmanship. Or both.
I'll be honest ... I briefly considered jailbreaking my PSP - although when I weighed the risks of being able to run homebrew apps on it against the chances of giving myself a R2,200 paperweight (although, quite a modern-looking and shiny one, you must admit) - and I buy my games anyways ...
As Azi said, may as well do that stuff on my PC.
Three people voted yes???
Go get a life!

Ya know, some people find it as a cheap PC. 6 PS3s makes a very nice little home blade server cluster, etc. You could maybe get the same processing power if you were to custom build a PC, but this way is far simpler, and managing power etc. is much, much easier. Animators/3D renderers would like to have a small, cheap powerful PC at their disposal. Not everybody buys a PS3 to play games on you know.Three people voted yes

Of course, if the other two were saying they'd jailbreak it for piracy...uh, no. Just no.
One could build a state of the art 3D rendering machine for the price of 6 PS3s. But I can also see the benefits of hacking a PS3, but if it is done then one should not take in into online gaming. But in the end of the day if one gets a state of the art rendering machine you will get a lot more performance from it.

I agree. A hacked one should not be taken online, I mean - sure, use cheat codes etc on SP and ruin the game for yourself - but don't ruin other people's games. Also, 6 PS3s are easier to install than having to build one yourself - plus I'm sure there are online communities where PS3s used for non-gaming purposes exist. Anyway.
I don't see why the PS3 being hacked is such an issue. The PC has been hacked from pretty much day one and is still played by millions. Same goes for the Xbox. So why is everyone so up in arms about the PS3 finally being cracked?
Personally, I have no issue with cracking it. Then again, I will also never play any console game online. To me it's pretty boring. My console is purely for single player games. Online gaming for me is 1st person shooters and those are only playable on PC in my opinion.
PC is a lost cause, Xbox users can be banned of live, so no updates, no dlc nothing. PS3 has been a fortress against piracy and now it is wide open to Piracy which in turn could cause bigger grievances for paying customers.
