Ah, Hackers. 1995 was a good year to discover Angelina Jolie. But on to Sony.
They really don’t like hackers. I’m not sure about their opinions about the movie, but given they are throwing out general legal threats against anyone who gets caught trying to exploit the PS3.
Apparently, the attempts at trying to tackle the hacker community which invaded the PSP was a joke, so the worst Sony can do at this point to anyone who tries to fiddle with their system is void their warranty.
I’m all for reverse-engineering, and I’m not the only one. I can understand that the company shouldn’t be responsible for you screwing up your own system, but come on, let us fiddle with your devices!
Luckily, I’ve never had a console crash on me, so I’ll go ahead and risk my warranty when it comes down to it.
