redwatch Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'm curious if anyone here has hacked their PS3 with an install of linux? Care to share your thoughts or experiences with it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yes, Sony disabled the ability to multi-boot into different operating systems a couple of years ago. That hacker in California was taken down by Sony and the DMCA by distributing the technology to re-enable the ability to run Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarkazz Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 That hacker in California was taken down by Sony and the DMCA That was a very smart move indeed, PSN down, credit card details leaked and it will not be over until they drop the case against geohot. Sony is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 So what are the options now? The hack created by "geohot" is still out there. Just search for it. I have not used it myself, but it must work perfectly if Sony dropped a huge DMCA bomb on the author. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoluvvv Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 yep Sony definitely screwed the pooch on this one the repercussions owing to the 'Barbara Streisand effect' are going to haunt them for a long, long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkazz Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 BTW - Sony dropped the case against Geohot in April and settled, I missed that somehouw. Anyway, they are getting hacked over and over again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 it should have never gotten to that stage. where in a country under the DMCA you could technically be sued for physically unscrewing and taking apart a system i.e "reverse engineering" its insane, its illegal to refill ink cartridges under this copyright act.
