Ever since Sony deemed users not worthy of installing a 2nd operating system onto its PlayStation 3 gaming console - after initially touting it as a feature - the hacking community has been on the lookout for a way to re-instating the option. A new hack does just that, allowing users of a Linux-persuasion to install a separate OS.
In an interview with Walt Mossberg, Sony CEO Howard Stringer said one of the company's Japanese factories had been affected by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck the country. According to 9to5Mac, Stringer went on to say this factory was meant to be making camera sensors for Apple.
Managed to get your PS3 banned from the PlayStation Network? It's annoying right? All those lovely demos and media could be at your finger-tips, but alas you just can't quite reach. Well now you might just be able to fix that thanks to a post over at PS3Hax.
Yet more drama and intrigue coming out of the Sony vs. George Hotz PS3 hacking case in the United States, with Neowin's Brad Sims bringing news that Hotz (Geohot to the jailbreaking community) has actually done a bunk - effectively fleeing Sony.
It's a headline we didn't expect to be writing, but sure enough it's true. One clever hacker has found a way to get the Xbox Kinect to work with Sony's PS3.
When George 'Geohot' Hotz first starting jailbreaking the Sony PlayStation 3, we're sure the hacker didn't expect the circus that now surrounds both him and the civil lawsuit brought by Sony.
Ok so that didn’t take too long. As reported by PSX-Scene, Sony’s latest firmware 3.60 for PlayStation 3 has been jailbroken successfully.
Want to have access to the PlayStation Network but don't want to update your PS3 firmware to the latest 3.60? Perhaps you're jailbroken and don't want to lose it? Rebug Team has just released a new version that will spoof 3.60 - meaning you're good to go.
The PS3 hacking scene is hotting up these days, but with Sony's current spat with George Hotz kicking off, it's unclear where the hackers will turn next. One potential new hero is Mathieu Hervais according to PSX-Scene.
In news that could have far-reaching consequences, a Judge has granted Sony's request for information that could identify anyone that has visited the web sites belonging to hacker George 'Geohot' Hotz.
