GeoHot: Don't update your PS3, I'll make custom firmware!


Recommended Posts

I think before calling this guy names atleast read up about who he is. He is indeed a very talented fellow. You have jailbroken iPhones and iPod touches thanks to him. He made Sony "remove" a feature which should tell you that if Sony is scared, he must've definitely done something right. He is recognized as one of the first people who has achieved system level access to memory and the hypervisor. The PS3 is considered one of the most secure systems of the seventh generation.

 

If you take the trouble of reading his blog post, he isn't concerned about pirating games. He wants to remove a CFW to retain the features you paid for originally. I disagree when people claim that almost no one uses the "Other OS" feature. Anyways, when you pay a bomb for a device like the PS3, the last thing you want is someone to dictate what you can have and what you can't.

no one doubts geohot's ability and his contribution to the JB scene on the iphone/Touch side.

 

As for the ps3, it isnt priced as a bomb anyways now. And honestly, ive never even heard of someone let alone someone i know, who uses the OtherOS feature.

He aint, but the 98% of people who will use his hack or whatever are doing it to pirate games

Well he has sony running scared, that much is certain. Let's see if he can come up with a custom firmware in the near future.. For now I'm not gaming online with tests so might as well wait :scratchchin:

 

Besides some stuff on the PC has me busy. So no probs there.
