Well, it turns out that my assumptions were correct; this man is an irredeemable asshole. This display of ignorance will come back to haunt him in court.

Someone who pretended he was behind the PS3 hack when he really wasn't and was then sued by Sony for it, from what I understand.

The reason the PS3 lost it's Other OS option.

Yet another kid mouthing off and trying to play hard ass on Youtube. Derp derp derp, lawsuit's on him.

To be honest if I would indeed be the one to hack PS3 I would defo stfu and not flap my mouth left right and centre. To quote Red Forman: Dumbass.

I watched ir for about one minute, figured it was another loud mouthed kid who thinks he knows it all, and decided not to waste my time.

I can't stand that guy, Yet whenever a news article comes up about him I always read it.

It's so annoying lol.

I hope sony wins the court case.

I can't blame him for letting off some steam. Sony seizing/confiscating his PCs is uncalled for, he's just a scapegoat. I hope that was sarcasm.

+ 1 and I hate Sony winning anything.

Put it this way, that option was only removed after his first little claim for fame as "l33t PS3 h@ck0rz" or however little children write it these days.

I find it funny and sad at the same time Sony got itself into armwrestling with a teenage boy. Then they just remove one of their product's praised feature just to pursue its little childish game.
I just... I don't know anymore, they both seem like two little boys waving for attention.

He gave credit where credit was due. I see people claiming that he didn't, but it was on his freaking website that the final calculation was based heavily upon other people's work. No, the reason why the PS3 lost the Other OS option is because Sony is run by a bunch of money grubbing pirates. They had already yanked the feature from the Slim prior to his announcing his ability to crack it. Sony then felt obligatory to give a stout fuck you to the owners of older models by removing the feature.

I can't believe they made it possible to install a separate OS and then expect it not to get hacked or changed. For the past couple of years, every piece of news I hear about the big gaming companies, the more I hate them.

As far as I know, they only included it as a form of tax evasion; it allowed them to class it as a personal computer.*
As much as GeoHot is a complete arse, I'm glad the PS3 was hacked (by the failoverflow guys) and I hope Sony lose the case.

GeoHot's still a dick though.


* I believe they did a similar thing with either the PS1 or the PS2, including a BASIC disc in some countries so they could claim it was a PC.

He's an idiot .
