Sony Has Lost the PS3 Hacking War

Posted by Soulskill on from the not-that-they'll-admit-it dept.

YokimaSun writes "Sony may have dealt a major blow to the PSjailbreak sellers, but the release last week of PSGroove, an open source version of the hack, has now opened the floodgates of ports to mobile phones such as the Nokia N900 and Palm Pre. The final kick in the teeth is that a port of the exploit has been released by Waninkoko of Wii custom firmware fame for the Dingoo Handheld, which is a homebrew console that is very popular amongst emulation fans. It makes you smile that you can use one homebrew console to hack another to get homebrew on that console. Awesome." pudge notes that you can apparently do the same with a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator (YouTube video).

    Those aren't designed for the purpose of piracy and have plenty of legitimate uses.

    You know what is worse than a scumbag defense attorney? Someone who acts like one in casual conversation. We all know why this device exists, cut the bullshit already.

    Oh those poor pirates. No one recognizes the noble sacrifices they have to make to keep themselves engorged on free entertainment.

    "without hardware assistance."

    Gee, I wonder what that fucking silicon all over the motherboard is called? Software?

    Comparing spousal abuse to a hack that allows pirated games to be played.

    Well I guess this is Slashdot.
