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.

Well it looks like they did it. First Sony did it with the PSP with the constant firmware upgrades to fight Hax0rs (hackers), and now Apple have released firmware which takes away a lot of features and adds very little, in the hope that it will be enough to get people to upgrade. The problem is, is they added a feature that most hackers wouldn’t want anyway. The 1.1.1 firmware adds the wireless Apple music store, which lets people buy music on the go. If you are a hacker you would probably just torrent all your music anyway, so who cares about that feature. Give them something they want Apple!
For more info, well you can look at any tech blog on the tech, but I recommend Gizmodo‘s Blog.
