Europeans Exploit PS2 Web Browser

Posted by simoniker on from the not-the-most-elegant-surfing-tool dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The BBC has an article on a gamer who's configured their Playstation 2 to act as a web browser for any site, not just those associated with PS2 games, although it seems to be an European-only option." While you can even run a PS2 version of Mozilla with the Playstation 2 Linux Kit, this exploit, for standalone PS2 consoles without a hard drive, works by re-assigning an external device IP option (apparently only available with the European network adaptor?) to a non-Sony website.
