PlayStation Home Hacked - High Potential For Delay

bobbonew | October 24, 2008 | Blog | Playstation 3

With the decrypting of the beta client for Sony's PlayStation Home service, it would potentially allow homebrew apps and game backups without hard drive swapping. Now while this may be good for some (none of us as it is highly illegal), the rest of us have to wait for Sony to patch up the security holes in Home. And yes, that sucks. I'm stuck here asking, couldn't you hackers have waited just a little longer before making this announcement?

A potentially major breakthrough may have been made, though, as well-known PS3 hacker StreetskaterFU (we've no idea what he's going for with that name -- really) has managed to decrypt the beta client for Sony's PlayStation Home service.

Big surprise.

No, Home is a lie, it's just a cheap marketing ploy that fools us into thinking something good might actually come to PS3[/sarcasm]

Saw some sort of delay coming from a mile away with this, considering it was promised to release like how long ago now?

What if this just turns out to be a lie, and Sony is just too scared of the reviews they will get for Home?
