The PS3 Hacked..Finally!
Posted: January 23rd, 2010 | Author: Daniel Georges | Filed under: Technology | Tags: cracked, Hacks, PlayStation-3, PS3, Sony | 1 Comment »It seems that the genius who broke open the iPhone (Geohot Verbatim), has been spending time breaking open the PS3. How much time? He says it has taken him 5 weeks to finally break through the securities Sony had put in place.
The hack itself is just the ability to access the entire system memory, so it won’t play your downloaded games or allow home-brew as yet. His next step is to reverse engineer everything he has found, but this is definitely a step towards a completely open system for homebrewers and pirates.
3 years 2 months and 11 days it has taken, so you gotta give Sony some credit.
