Let the awesomeness of PS3 Hacking Begin

Playstation 3

PS3 Custom Firmware Creator Released!

Well, it looks like 2011 is having a great start, especially for the jailbreaking community. Only 

this time, Apple is not the only victim. Like the PSP, one can now create and install custom 

PS3 firmwares. As for this particular CFW, it will "Permanently Add “Install PKGs” to the XMB". Little 

note here for you pirates, this CFW does not condone piracy, and thus, it would apparently only install 

PKGs that are straight homebrew.

 

It seems that the Playstation 3 which is hailed as the most difficult to hack of all the consoles 

has been -- well -- hacked. And to make matters even worst, it seems that releasing a new hardware

is the only remedy -- according to this article about the secret Sony Playstation keys.

 

If you are Sony, how would you react to this? Would you go on and fire all the people responsible?

Or would they rather just keep their cool and let this be a lesson learned?
