Sony Gets Nasty With PSBreak Buyers

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday October 19, 2010 @10:38PM from the give-it-a-rest dept.

YokimaSun writes "The war between hackers and Sony over the PlayStation 3 has now taken an even more sinister turn, with Sony going after not just shops but actual buyers of the PSBreak dongle, threatening them with fines of many thousands of Euros and forcing them to sign cease-and-desist letters. It seems Sony will use any means necessary to thwart both homebrew and piracy on the PS3."

Offtopic? Seriously? Could they have not just gone with "overrated" to at least try to hide they're just downmodding me for the sake of it?

Must be something seductive about the abuse.
It makes me think of some women I know who keep getting into abusive relationships. Hell, one lady I was dating said I didn't act like a boyfriend, I guess I should have slapped her around some, but I don't need that kind of relationship.

"Hell, one lady I was dating said I didn't act like a boyfriend, I guess I should have slapped her around some, but I don't need that kind of relationship."

Allow me to interpret. What she really was saying was, "You're bad at sex, and not attentive enough to my moods to make me forgive you for it." Mystery solved.
