Not without a huge update to PSN's security from what i have read. They could patch it but we would be back in seconds unless they did large backbone changes.

Official Statement Regarding PS3 Circumvention Devices and Pirated Software

Today, Sony Computer Entertainment released the following statement:

Notice: Unauthorized circumvention devices for the PlayStation 3 system have been recently released by hackers. These devices permit the use of unauthorized or pirated software. Use of such devices or software violates the terms of the “System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation 3 System” and the “Terms of Services and User Agreement” for the PlayStation Network/Qriocity and its Community Code of Conduct provisions. Violation of the System Software Licence Agreement for the PlayStation 3 System invalidates the consumer guarantee for that system. In addition, copying or playing pirated software is a violation of International Copyright Laws. Consumers using circumvention devices or running unauthorized or pirated software will have access to the PlayStation Network and access to Qriocity services through PlayStation 3 system terminated permanently.

To avoid this, consumers must immediately cease use and remove all circumvention devices and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from their PlayStation 3 systems.

What this means to you

Circumvention devices and game piracy damage our industry and can potentially injure the online experience for you, our loyal PlayStation customers, via hacks and cheats.

Many PlayStation.Blog readers have asked how we intend to deal with these incidents that they have been reading about in the gaming press, and this is our initial response.

By identifying PlayStation 3 systems that breach our guidelines and terminating their ability to connect to PlayStation Network, we are protecting our business and preserving the honest gameplay experiences that you expect and deserve.

Rest assured, this message does not apply to the overwhelming majority of our users who enjoy the world of entertainment PlayStation 3 has to offer without breaching the guidelines detailed above, and we urge you to continue doing so without fear.

Incoming ps3 bans....

**fren.** · 2011-02-16 17:27

Anyone get an email? I haven't gotten anything.

e: wild guess, but I assume those who did get the ban message were playing Killzone 3 online.

**Riposte** · 2011-02-16 21:17

So what's the point of no return? Where you will no longer be able to return to a state that Sony won't ban you(or they won't let you, etc)?

Also can someone simplistically explain, or link to an explanation, a method to play online? I am overwhelmed

**Kiarax** · 2011-02-16 21:57

Apparently a ton of people who haven't even put CFW on their system (or haven't connected to the internet at all since before doing so) have got emails from Sony saying it was detected. Seems like some bullshit scare tactic to me personally, can't wait to see how this pans out...

Were you playing a bootleg MVC3, or a legit copy while running CFW?

No shit. Seeing those names over and over is still fucking annoying.

At least my Networking professor got it right. "This image is wrong. Girl do not start conversation with boy. You wish this image was true. hahahaha*asianlaugh*"

**Riposte** · 2011-02-17 08:34

Hmmm, what to make of this... Someone contacted Sony and talked with them.

Thanks for holding. What does the E-Mail say?

Says something about COPYRIGHT and FAILURE to do so will result in TERMINATION from the PlayStation Network.

Umm... Do you play Call of Duty?

YES.

Did you download the hacks?

Um no?...

OK because we have been sending out E-Mails to consumers downloading the hack and WARNING them that you will get banned.

I have played Call of Duty lately and it's been different.

Different?

I'm not sure why but when I join a game sometimes the game is different.

If thats the case then don't worry... We have been sending out warnings to people using the Call of Duty hack. If you are CAUGHT with the hack on your system you WILL be BANNED.

Is this E-Mail sent to EVERYONE then?

YEP.

So I have nothing to worry about if I do not have this Call of Duty hack?

Right, right. It's ONLY for CHEATING and HACKING and stuff like that.

OK

Ya we're trying to get on top of all of that right now... Any other questions?

No I think that's it I just didn't want to get banned from the PlayStation Network.

Ya, right. If you DO get banned CALL US and we'll see EXACTLY what you were banned for and what the problem is and take it from there. As long as you are not cheating or hacking you should be alright sir. Anything else I can assist you with?

No, that's it.

OK Thank You for calling.

Fuck it, don't trust any of it. Formatted my PS3 and praying for mercy. Otherwise I'm gonna have to shell out a little more than I bargained for to play KZ3 online...

**Aevis** · 2011-02-17 13:43

this is a pretty good read about what and how insecure sony is tracking your user/psn/etc. data: http://ps3crunch.com/call-privacy-mo...n-network.html

**Kiarax** · 2011-02-17 14:08

Kind of amazed that there's absolutely no encryption on credit card details and shit...

I've been hearing that people who have been clearing out their play history (there's some homebrew app that easily lets you do it) and only using legit games online haven't been banned yet. Anyone here been doing the same thing?

**Blabj** · 2011-02-17 14:18

There is HTTPS encryption, but from the sounds of things they've hacked that pretty well (I'm not a cryptographer, this is just what I gleaned from the article.)

I loved the sign off. What a great "Fuck you".

didnt clear play history, use multiman and play downloaded black ops online, no ban or email

**Noobta** · 2011-02-17 14:48

I'm thinking about buying a PS3 soon. Are 3.56s in stores yet, or would I have better luck on ebay?

**Kiarax** · 2011-02-17 14:48

Interesting... Someone was just posting on /v/ about getting banned in the middle of an MvC3 match (with a pirated copy of course). Oh well, if I do get banned I don't really care since I don't play anything but Adhoc Party online.

**Ragnell** · 2011-02-17 15:34

Did he copy and paste the email?
