I'm not doubting you or saying you're lying, but that sounds like another anti-Sony rumour to me... but if it is true I'm sure I'm right when saying that even Nintendo and Microsoft fans will hope this comes to a stop and that those who do do this sort of thing are punished, as in a way we are all affected and all vulnerable to this type of illegal happening.
PSP's have been hacked. Go to dl.qj.net and you can get the open source DarkAlex firmware, let's you play downloaded PSP games and use emulators for downloaded PS1/2 games and even othe formats like SNES.

Technically, the PS3 still can't play the pirated games and so not fully 'hacked'.
Yes, people can rip off the Blu-ray disc to the HDD by running Linux on their PS3 but no one has come out with a way to play them. Apparently a
TIFF Exploit does exist. At the moment an
ISO Loader is still in development but it won't be released publicly until after the Europe Release date (This Friday).
So - to some up, NO YOU CAN'T PLAY BACKUPS yet but you can rip them.
If I were to buy a PS3 I definitely won't modify it's s/w like I did my PSP. My PSP still plays great and is in excellent condition, but I wouldn't like a £425 investment getting bricked. Also, I don't think it's fair to release and ISO loader for the PS3 as it's a great product and I wouldn't like to see Sony fail again like the PSP.
Hope that helps

I presume you mean development........ The spelling of the youth today......
To be honest i would'nt care if the hacks went through 5 years of developments, i would no way mod a £400 + piece of equipment knowing that theres still a possibility of it becoming the first Sony doorstop

I know exactly what you mean mate
@ djtwistter True say man, but just imagine this: Updating to a custom firmware and then you have a power cut/power lead 'comes' out...I know it seems really unlikely, but it can happen (Of course it could also happen when updating the normal way...I hope Sony do something to prevent it). I just want to keep my PS3 up-to-date and clean
...My PSP is on custom firmware 3.10 OE and all is good, but I don't want to do the same to my PS3...

Found this; 'PS3 withstands hack challenge'...
Liz Tay, PC World

There was only one winner of an international challenge that offered a PlayStation 3 to any hacker able to attack it: Sony. Over the two-month-long competition, the PlayStation 3 was able to withstand numerous attempts by hackers worldwide, proving to the competition organiser its potential use as a server.
The challenge was first issued in November 2007 by Japanese Web host Shimpinomori to test the security of the PlayStation 3 Open Platform and the viability of using it as a heavy-duty server platform. Results came as a pleasant surprise to Shimpinomori founder, Augustin Vidovic.
"I was half expecting that someone would find a crack in the Linux setup, and it did not happen," he said. "Nobody could hack into the PS3."
And it wasn't for lack of trying. Standard hack attempts have left Vidovic with more than one gigabyte of logs full of what he calls 'unimaginative' attempts on the HTTP. Other hackers attempted brute force attacks on the SSH port.
According to Vidovic, the most notable hack attempt exploited a limitation in the number of simultaneous SSH connections that could be supported on the PS3, in order to prevent other challenge participants to connect to the SSH for a few hours.
The challenge was called to a halt on 2 January 2007 with the PS3 emerging unscathed. Vidovic said this proved the PS3's abilities to run continuously for extended periods of time without any heat problems, and can be trusted to be a good, reliable and secure server.
Vidovic now owns three PS3 machines, one of which will be used as a server, the second as an experiment development platform for the Cell processor, and the third as a game console. He is currently also researching applications and methods to set up a PS3 as a server.
