So the hackers have finally ripped the Sony digital signing feature apart, this could be potentially huge in the wrong hands. For those not aware basically what’s happened is it is now possible to run homebrew and illegal copies through a non custom firmware system. Sure some tweaks are needed before it is operational, but if you can fool the system into thinking the content has been digitally signed then you could in theory get the Kinect hardware working with the PS3.
Sure Sony have been fighting a losing battle with the PSP modders over the year, personally I like being able to run ScummVM on my PSP, but if they can’t put a lid on it soon then before long both consoles will become a free for all in the eyes of the pirates. It’ll be devastating to a brand that are only just recovering from years of unease and unfulfilling investments.
Any comments?
