kunallkw Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 There's one thing I just don't get. For three years, no one did sh*t when the Other OS function was there. There was no homebrew developed for the PS3, no apps, no games, nothing when you were legally allowed to run Linux. But now that it isn't there, people suddenly want to run Linux on it. The only reason people actually give a sh*t about hacking into a PS3 is for piracy, and pretending that its to teach Sony a lesson for removing other OS support is just BS. that's how whinny kids' psyche works , even if a toy lies unused and discarded the moment it's given to your "cousin" you whine your a*s out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had games, apps, emulators etc running under OtherOS, only problem was that there was no 3D hardware support, both SPUs and GPU were locked out. So the homebrew scene was seriously gimped, which is not the case anymore. And there's a large group of users who seriously think PS3 is a perfect home media player, a true successor to XBMC. In fact people are saying they'll buy another PS3 just to install XBMC and run it as dedicated central media browser. Those who want to pirate can already buy (or already have) a 360 for lot cheaper and flash it with incremental updates, its lot easier to maintain than PS3.

So the homebrew scene was seriously gimped, which is not the case anymore. So if other OS support was useless anyway, they should have hacked it while it was still there. The point is, if you're going to hack it, hack it and have the balls to admit you did something that falls under a legally grey area. No one us buying the Mother Teresa act.

CarbonCore Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 So if other OS support was useless anyway, they should have hacked it while it was still there. The hacking attempts have been going on ever since PS3 came out four year ago, it just picked up steam when Sony removed Linux support and Geohot stepped in. :angry: U Sony fanboys .

avkash Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 if offline ps3 s do communicate with sony servers then putting a dynamic master key should be easy (provided its not a hardwired hardware)....that is wat all IT companies do for their offshore clients quick question: how can a machine connect with remote servers when it is offline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 quick question: how can a machine connect with remote servers when it is offline You know there's a feature called auto-updating, available only to PSN+ users. A remote server turns on your PS3 at a particular time, downloads and installs firmware updates and patches whenever available, and then turns it off again. Forget offline, it doesn't even need to be turned on to talk to their servers. Wii also does the same thing, it communicates with Ninty servers even in the standby mode.

jDaMn Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 The only reason people actually give a sh*t about hacking into a PS3 is for piracy, Not true - a lot of people do actually want to use the console for other things. I'm not going to say the number of such people exceeds the number of pirates though EDIT I guess I'm not really comfortable buying the whole hardware+software package. Such things are typically yes or no offerings. I believe that as soon as anyone (well, almost) buys a console, the investment (hardware) is so large that he/she is effectively locked in - this means that the company has no real incentive to improve service (software), except to influence other potential buyers.

You really don't have any fking clue about how things work, do you? Unlike the phat 360, both Wii and PS3 (and DS and PSP) come with built in wifi, it doesn't need to be physically connected to the router. As long as it can seek out an active wifi connection and has access to it, it can connect to remote servers, even without logging into PSN/Wiiconnect. The Wii will flash blue light coming out of its dvd slot when receiving update notification, even in standby mode, and PS3 will tell you what it did when you were asleep when you boot it next time.

Joy Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Really.. on PSP there is a WLAN switch w/o which it won't even connect to net , there is no such thing on PS3 , would be interesting to see if Sony would go ahead and start disabling JB PS3's.

Zeehunter Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 WoW Forgot abt WiFi But still no one will keep their pc on standby after usage. And most of the ppl connect their ps3 with wired modem instead of wifi as it lowers the speed , atleast I do . And there might be so many ppl who dont have wifi at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 You don't need a Wifi in your home , ur neighbor might have it and even a slight signal catch is more than enough to connect, ask Ragz he used to play KZ2 online with us on neighbor's Wifi signal when his router was dead for a few days and still got decent ping w/o any lag.
