It would be in an open format (such as running software on your PC that you've just download from the 'net), but the only software you can buy for this and other consoles has to come through the manufacturer before it is signed/put on an 'original' disc that the console will allow booting from. Given this process there shouldn't be any scope for such problems as the publishers themselves are, presumably, considered trustworthy by the console manufacturers.
Only if you can disable the protection to let you run "backup" games that may not have come through the official publishing route would you be exposing your system to those kind of problems, and I imagine the console manufacturer wouldn't have a great deal of sympathy for you in such circumstances...
If you look at the patch you can see that the 'error' label already existed and this patch just adds another section that ends up 'goto'ing it.
So, they've not introduced anything, just extended a function in the least intrusive way, and it's no more harmful than the VLC project originally intended.

Let me see...
EUR199.90 for a kit that can "easily be assembled", and EUR239.90 for something that is "readily assembled".
What if I want one pre-built... ;-)
