hello ...
to those who said it was because SONY removed features like otherOS, you should try stop using this argument for even if wasn't justified to my taste & caused me big troubles while i wasn't using this feature (had to backup all data & recover my reserved space), it was because of Geohot's attempt to hack the system with Linux that it was removed ! & if you come with reasons like we use it for programming & the Air forcer bought it as cheap alternative to build clusters, well you had the choice not to update & keep the feature & i'm sure for the Air force they didn't need the update!
homebrew: hypocritical way of stating you want piracy, for, sorry if repeating here, i never saw a really good homebrew killer app, for me it is equal to : cheats / virus / fart generators / fake scanners / virtual torch light ... etc ... just come with something worth it for once ...
i just don't understand why people want a major gaming console to be more than just a console & risk losing so much, but i'm sure the real reason would be that people doesn't care about other people's work, so i'm sorry, let's call a cat.. a cat here, you want the hack for piracy & you deserve to be punished like any thief & sure hope not just the ban hammer, but legal actions are taken against anyone involved!
just put what you 'somewhat WANT' & 'NEED' the PS3 to do & check out if it's not already doing so ....
Zone limitations & MKV support, WOW that's all ! Region free disc exists & MKV isn't used anywhere else except illegal copies of movies / TV series on the web (& this is about to be monitored & tracked soon) & it's not even a multimedia format but a package file ... if it wasn't for licensing issues i'm sure the support can be added legally by SONY.
What's pathetic is the same 'somewhat not mature or intelligent request' we see ... like as if all those wanting this are kids under 12, sorry, i know some kids who prefer their PSN or XBLA for online gaming, so i'm sure it's more a pathologic issue with some adults who deserve the true reality of hacking : no more online, no more peace of mind, no more bonuses & new games, no more support & friends not lending you anything or become victims too, when soon you release something you created & see others enjoying without you getting a dime, you suffer the cheaters & the virus infections & you may even experience identity theft for this is what hacking is & this is what piracy & hacking brings ...
i'm sure the PS3 can become a pirated system, worst than the PSP, but on the other hand, knowing what's cooking in some big ISP's kitchen, i wouldn't really bet on that, beware people for like i always say, there's reality & the perception of reality ...to this ...have a nice day / night / week ...
cheers!
