Until recently there were no hacks at all for the PS3 to enable running pirated games. However Sony pissed off the Linux community when they removed the Other OS option and they promptly started working on ways of hacking the console. There have been some limited successes, but I don't think they have found a way to easily enable it to run pirated games yet.

Theres a lesson in this for Sony: Don't piss off Linux users!


Ha, for real? That's so cool!

And a few months later;

So, for the three years it had Other-OS support nobody really bothered to try and hack it, as soon as they removed it all those who want to run Linux on everything in their house, toasters included, declared war and started hacking their way in.

Still, the PS3 isn't giving up without a fight and the length of time the hacks are taking goes to show just how secure it really is.



The USB jailbreak was the only real success in getting it to run pirated games, but don't count on getting one. Sony siezed all of the devices thanks to a court order and has since patched the exploit.
