Can we officially slap a -gate to the end of Sony or Playstation or something and classify this as an all out war? Because this week Sony has been getting slapped around by the hacking community at large.
Last week Sony came out and said something to the effect of "Stop that!" to all the hackers out there who were cracking the PS3, promising their PSN access would be "terminated permanently" if they were caught. Well that didn't go over too well with the haxzorz out there and they've already found a work around.
According to multiple websites, not only have these intrepid hackers found a way to unban themselves, but then can effectively ban any console that they have the ID for. You're hearing it first here ladies and gents, don't give out your console ID anymore. Please.
In response to all this nonsense that Sony can't seem to put a stop too, rumors are floating around that they are creating an "unhackable" PS3. As silly as that sounds, it has a fairly credible backup of sources behind it. First it's said that a big price drop will be coming to the PS3 to wipe out all stock before releasing this new adamantium console. Sources say next the new SKU for the PS3 will include a 300GB harddrive at the price of the old consoles as an incentive to buy the new one. Will it work? That's to be decided later, if this even happens.
