I read about this yesterday on the digital foundry. I give respect to the sony security system, as it managed to hold out for 4 years. That's a lot longer than any other console i can think of.

Its not really hacked. All it is; is an external USB dongle with software that will Rip a disc and tricks the playstation in believing the ISO image is in the disc slot.
Being it does this, it also allows homebrew. Then the USB thing also blocks incoming updates. Meaning if sony decides to patch the PS3 to block this device. People wont be suddenly blocked from using the USB device.

Thats what I got from this mess. Being they state that it will not brick a PS3. Meaning it doesn't touch system files.

Cool anyways. If Sony doesn't patch this, I may get one. I want to rip Demon's souls into my system so I don't have to swap discs XD.
(Why Demon's souls? Its my favorite game! lol)
