So, looks like the ps3 is completely hacked.

Completely opposite as a matter of fact...

Don't you notice how overclockability actually sells units? There is a reason manufacturers sell chips with and without unlocked multipliers...

Um no. crazySOB297 touched on it. Assume that oveclocking was illegal/impossible/etc. People are going to buy the speed of Cpu that they want instead of gong with a lower priced chip and then betting on overcooking it, meaning more money.

If overclocking is so profitable, where are the modern day equivalents to the 300a, where the standard oc was 50% and was as fast as the top of the line chip at the time.

No. The 300a was more like taking a i3 to i7 performance
Hmmm....the 2500K goes give better performance than the 2600K....

Edit: Either way, time to get back on topic. PS3 hacking= bad, piracy, cheating, no point on having linux, discuss..

Why the hell does anyone need linux on a PS3? Be completely honest and give me a valuable reason!

I want an open source DVD player.

I want a real web browser in the living room that has a small footprint.

I want an aircrack-ng node running on cell.

I want a media browser similar to googles, but without the drama.

I want a shell on my TV - sometimes I get calls at 9pm and if its a simple ssh, service restart, I don't need to even get up.

HTPC?



Not even, get a refubed LP-HP from TD.

Why shouldn't you be able to use a PS3 for all of that?
No one say you shouldn't be able to, it's just that the whining of 1% of the user base about linux is gonna cost 90% of the rest go through a lot of crap. You tell me.

Still, I'd imagine those who bemoan or support this development are in the minority. I bet the majority doesn't care one way or another.

They will care when they can't even play a decent match of any game online because of hackers.

Check out that other thread about all the MW2 hacking.

your link says its bricking consoles. Sony masking as a pirate to screw over potential pirates?

Some have bricked, some have been successful. I really think they need to be careful with only advertising firmware's as having been tested on particular models.

Doesn't the 360 have hacking issues as well? It seems to be doing fine.

Also, I thought people who were interested in online play generally went with the 360 for the benefits of Live?

Not to this extent, from my experience

You really think PS3 owners don't play online? PS3 online gaming was pretty healthy.

Also live had no benefits in my mind until now.

This doesn't require a jailbreak and can't be closed with a firmware update (although they can make it require more work to install the hacked firmware).

I see. still, with jailbreak so damn easy, w/o risk of bricking, I see the pirates all over geohot's method

Pretty much. I mean every time someone asked 360 or ps3, the recommendation was (a) get what your friends are playing, or (b) go 360 for multiplayer due to Live being better than PSN. Granted, there were other factors, but in terms of online service everything has given me the impression that Live is the superior option.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I certainly don't play online with the ps3. And it's not because I have a 360 I use for online play instead.
