The current Sony vs. George (Geohot) Hotz saga is really turning into a soap-opera, and now according to PSX-Scene, it shows no sign of letting up. The latest drama revolves around computer hard drives a judge made Hotz hand over to investigators - it now appears the company charged with handling the data want to take clone images of both seized drives.
Some interesting news coming out of Sony, with TheNextWeb reporting that the Japanese giant could be forced to stop selling its PlayStation 3 console in Europe - if Korean technology manufacturer LG gets its way.
The mega corporation has started to sound so helpless in front of the 21 years old residing at New Jersey. Not only Geohot has decided to fight back in the courtroom, he already has gathered enough funds to hire lawyers and believes he is going to win the court battle against Sony. Hotz in an interview said "Beating them in court is just a start". It is obvious, Sony wanted to send a message to Hotz by taking the matter to court, interestingly, he wants to send the message back which is like making yet another of Sony's attempt hollow.
The battle between Sony and 21 years old Geohot who has shook the mega corporation has been around for a while now and it's taking new interesting routes everyday. The battle has recently become a legal one since Sony has publicly announced filing a lawsuit against the hacker residing at New Jersey.
Despite the lawsuit which Sony has filed against Geohot for jailbreaking PlayStation 3, Geohot has made it clear that he wants to be the first person in line when the Xperia Play (aka PlayStation Phone) is launched, so that he can hack the device and use it to its full potential.
After discussing the entire situation with his lawyers, Geohot has decided to start a blog yet again. He is asking for help and support from his fans in an effort to fight his case against Sony.
With Sony's PlayStation 3 being hacked to bits of late, it's perhaps unsurprising that a possible security risk has been discovered.
Well it looks like folks at PSX-Scene have managed to find a way to get jailbroken PlayStation 3’s back online on PSN after Sony recently blocked the DNS method for consoles running custom firmware 3.55.
Things are really starting to hot up in the Sony vs Geohot court case over the hacker's PS3 hacking exploits. Now the Japanese behemoth is requesting that a federal judge orders Google to hand over personal information such as IP address of anyone commenting on a private page on social video site YouTube.
Well that didn't take long! As Engadget reports, Sony's latest PS3 firmware v3.56 has been hacked in just 24 hours after its release.
