@theshonen8899 $40, plus it requires a separate memory card to even boot. Sounds like the cost of flash memory affects more than you might think.

@kujospam2000 Fair enough. Wrong terminology. The point is, he was mistaken. It's not something you're supposed to be doing, and the law is not on your side.

@nesinvaders Actually, the courts don't agree with you. I don't know the legality of mod chips, but I would assume that because mod chips are modified hardware, they're possibly legal. When it comes to software, such as the PS3's operating system, that's all licensed. You probably don't own a single scrap of software under your roof; it's all licensed. And as a licensee, you're bound to the end user licensing agreement.

Now I'm not defending the situation, just merely pointing out the legal nature here. Altering software that you are licensed and not allowed to alter under that license is, well, illegal.The whole iPhone jailbreak is interesting, and a potential crack in that wall, but who knows where that will go? Till then, no, you're not quite correct, unfortunately.
