Flow was better as a PC release when you had mouse/keyboard control. I absolutely hate the PS3 motion controls. It makes the game painful since you're frequently inverting the direction of your turn to compensate for upside down movement. It's just turns into a chore.
I never said the hack would allow you to play pirated games. The fact that I said "little did they know it was a trap" was to subtly imply that playing pirated games wasn't possible.
And I said "major" because it was the first ever relevant PS3 hack. Even geohot's detractors admit it wasn't done before and could be the stepping stone for another exploit. I don't give a shit if you define major in another way.
Even though the "hack" never materialized, it still caused many to fantasize about it's potential. For example, there were a lot of over-eager kids logging on ps3news/hack during Christmas begging for the progress so they wouldn't ever have to ask mommy and daddy to buy them ps3 games anymore. I'm sure a lot of others bought PS3's for that sole reason (despite the fact that Slim isn't exploitable yet).
The REAL reason why stores are suddenly getting huge PS3 shortages is due to the hacking scene. Right around late Dec-January, several hackers found the first ever MAJOR exploit in the PS3 loader. This caused everyone to let out a collective premature ejaculation and buy a PS3 in the hopes that they could just burn all their favorite games instead of buying them.
