Oh god, so I popped in MW2 for shits and giggles and the game is completely unplayable even just for fun. If this is how every game is going to be since this got hacked, nothx. Would switch maps halfway through the game, no lobbies, and then all the gun/map/perk hacks. Ugh fuck this shit, sorry.

Blame the lazy console developers who relied on the console itself as the cheat-protection mechanism.

Infinity Ward took quite the shortcut with MW2 on PS3 and it's now showing. Makes you curious if Activision will bother sending one of their other dev teams to try and patch that so the clients know when illegitimate shit is happening.

Dang it, Dead Space II popped yesterday in BC but meh ;x

I haven't followed it too closely, but it seems like there are 2 main CFW out that can run backups. One has a high chance of bricking launch PS3's, while the other hasn't had any real brick reports yet.

However, i've been reading alot of the games black screen unless there is a PS3 game in the drive.... so huge trial/error process on games.

[Ragnell]

I think im done with this until there is a complete tutorial for loading the games, there seems to be no real tutorial for the shit and my games do no load what so ever

Just a update for the Sony vs. George Hotz lawsuit.

Pretty much, hotz's lawyers have filed for a dismissal.... as sony has nothing still.

Spoiler: show

The only evidence it has put forth to prove Mr. Hotz has entered the PSN Agreement is an improperly authenticated screen shot of a PSN Network account with the username “Geo1Hotz.” Declaration of Gilliland Exh. A. Mr. Hotz does not own or have access to this account. Mr. Hotz does not live in Rhode Island, does not use the name “Geo1Hotz” which, in contrast to Mr. Hotz‟s common handle, utilizes capital letters and a numeral, and Mr. Hotz was not born in 1995 as in the screen grab. Id. Sony further falsely states that Mr. Hotz is “reffered to online as „GeoHot.‟” This is untrue. All exhibits submitted by Sony purport to show that Mr. Hotz goes by the internet name “geohot” without any capitalized letters or numerals.

In the present case, Sony cannot demonstrate that Mr. Hotz‟s activity could even arguably be construed as expressly aimed at California. To the contrary, the sole alleged tortious activity alleged in this action involves Mr. Hotz– who is located in New Jersey– purportedly improperly accessing portions of his own Playstation Computer– which is also located in New Jersey. Sony’s primary allegation is that Mr. Hotz violated the circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by allegedly circumventing control access to the Playstation Computer. Sony also includes various other inexplicable claims for good measure, including Mr. Hotz violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the California Computer Crime Law for allegedly “exceeding access” to Mr. Hotz’s very own Playstation Computer, as well as for Mr. Hotz purportedly “trespassing” on the very Playstation Computer he lawfully purchased and owns. Sony also alleges that, by engaging in such conduct, Mr. Hotz has breached the PSN TOS (which is actually not applicable to Mr. Hotz as demonstrated above). Nonetheless, this suit centers around the allegation that Mr. Hotz improperly accessed portions of his Playstation Computer.

Sony thinks that an unnamed defendant called “Bushing” resides in California but this person remains a Doe defendant, is not named as a defendant, and has not been served with process. Further, all evidence put forth by Sony regarding “Bushing” is improperly authenticated hearsay. This court should not rely on Sony‟s speculation of a Does defendant‟s place of residence to assert jurisdiction over a nonresident who is actually named with an address that has been identified, in New Jersey. Further evidence in this matter is found primarily on the internet.

Contrary to Sony‟ assertions, most of the physical evidence and Mr. Hotz himself, are located in the state of New Jersey. The bulk of Sony‟s claims regard evidence found on Mr. Hotz‟s media devices and in Mr. Hotz‟s testimony as a witness. Other than those items, the bulk of the evidence Sony puts forth may be found on the internet which is accessible just as easily in New Jersey as in California.

Sony relies on the unsubstantiated residency of the unnamed defendant “Bushing” as a basis for California being the best forum. However, “Bushing” has not been identified, named, served, or connected with Mr. Hotz in any way that would warrant bringing the only identifiable defendant out to California. If “Bushing” does exist and can be ascertained at a later date, Sony would have to amend the complaint to properly name him/her which has not occurred. Thus, New Jersey is an alternative forum that exists to provide Sony with adequate relief. If Sony can obtain jurisdiction by merely including a hypothetical defendant by the name of “Bushing” that may live in California, then any Plaintiff can file suit in California and obtain jurisdiction by adding “Bushing” as a defendant.

its over, sony's finished

[Hiryo]

With the stuff Sony did present, it makes you wonder how you can ever win a case with internet as your evidence.

finally updated to kmeaw firmware, works nicely so far. Still waiting on Linux dualboot though.

So the only ones getting banned from PSN are basically the dumbfucks who are glitching on MW2/Black Ops? I tried jailbreaking my fat 60g and the disc drive is beyond fucked so I figured I'd attempt it with my slim.

Only question is (at the risk of sounding like a dumbass) if SONY introduces a new OFW, am I gonna have to update it and wait for another jailbreak if I plan on playing online?

Yes, though honestly I'd be surprised if the updates to let you play online take more than a few days after each release, that or with full access we might start to see "real" spoofing, not this ghetto spoofing we see now(current spoofing is basically editing a line of text to say 3.55 instead of 3.41).

[Kaisha]

So how much longer before Sony starts charging for basic PSN access as a preventative for people who would otherwise just cheat online in games and spoof their MAC/PS3-ID to get around bans and spam new accounts?

[Insanecyclone]

I quit console games altogether if that happens.

[fren.]

Is isohunt the go-to place for the games if I wanna FTP them?

[sruon]

"name of the game megaupload" should give you a lot of links on google, use JDownloader to automate the process.
