Sony bans PS3 pirates, pirates unban themselves.

[taviow]

This game of one-upmanship between Sony and the PS3 modders is getting seriously heated. Responding to the news that Sony was permabanning modded consoles, a new hack claims to worm into the PSN and allow people to unban themselves.

The hack can also be used to ban another console, although they'd need access to that console's ID, which would have to be obtained from a refurb warehouse/secondhand seller or willingly given up by an idiot.

Seems like a really bad time to be buying a PS3.

"There is no piracy on consoles!" Herp derp

Why? Because banned pirates are unbanning themselves? How does this negatively affect anyone looking to buy a PS3?

Doesn't this mean that online cheaters can unban themselves too?

Beat me to it!

I'm with Veggies here...how the **** does this mean anything? I'd Imagine Sony will do something to stop the worm, and the hackers will do something to get around that. Doesn't affect me at all.

 

[YROC]

I still plan on purchasing a PS3 in the future. There are tons of exclusives that I haven't gotten a chance to play.

X-Box had piracy for years. PS3 is just starting, give Sony some time to catch up.

Of course, if you only play singleplayer games, like I do, then yeah, it doesn't affect you. If you play online, it does.

Yes, I read that. The only online game I play is GT5, and that's with people I know...so my point still stands...

Doesn't affect em at all.

BTW, I was talking with a guy who plays MW2 online and doesn't like Black Ops. He loves the hacked servers. Thinks it makes the game twice as good.
