This hack sucks balls plain and simple no matter the reason they did it. Sure they "wanted linux back on the ps3" but, at what cost? This is gonna screw the legitimate user of the PS3 over big time. The PS3 is basically a PC without a firewall or any kind of protection right now. Basically once the "hackers" get to work anyone can write anything they want to the PS3 and Sony can't stop it because it all looks official because they have the master key. its basically open season it can go from the light stuff light putting linux back on the ps3 or running emulators to the extremes of every game released so far being easily pirateable and massive amounts of online cheating to someone writing viruses for the ps3 to some writing programs to steal peoples info of of psn. No one in the general public realizes how serious this is. Its a bad situation for anyone who has any kind of investment in the ps3 that means users, developers, and especially sony.

These smug aholes just opened up millions of people to at least alot of inconvience because they wanted linux back. sony is surely gonna have to inact a new form of security. get used to one time use codes like EA uses on their games with online and much harsher drm.

Anyone who says all of this started because they removed other os is just plain stupid or lying to themselves because these aholes would still be twiddling their thumbs playing their hacked wii's and furiously masterbating to online porn if someone at a sony factory had not been paid off and handed over one of sony's service dongles effectivly starting all this bs. anyway I hope they enjoy having their linux back on the ps3 all this latest round of who can be the biggest ahole means is PS4 in late 2012 with a good possibility of the system not being backwards compatible with the PS3 because some people wanted linux back on the ps3
