Amazing, I don't know how he keeps pulling stuff like this off at such an early age. Must be big news as its made it to the main page of the BBC news website.US hacker who gained notoriety for unlocking Apple's iPhone as a teenager has told BBC News that he has now hacked Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3).
George Hotz said the hack, which could allow people to run pirated games or homemade software, took him five weeks. He said he was still refining the technique but intended to post full details online soon. The PS3 is the only games console that has not been hacked, despite being on the market for three years.
"It's supposed to be unhackable - but nothing is unhackable," Mr Hotz told BBC News.

Somehow I doubt people are going to be jumping to perform this hack judging by the picture of his PS3 in the article

Very intelligent guy.

Haha I saw that. He's already stated (I think, I think its on the BBC link) that its all software related, nothing hardware. (correct me If I'm wrong). He is very trustworthy though, some of the stuff he does for the iPhone community is astonishing.
If so It's been long overdue, maybe someone will be able to bring Homebrew from the PSP to PS3?PSN: StefanWolves

Has it actually been "confirmed" though, according to that he contacted the BBC so it could be a bunch of lies.
Haha I saw that. He's already stated (I think, I think its on the BBC link) that its all software related, nothing hardware. (correct me If I'm wrong).He said that he was not yet ready to reveal the full details of the hack but said that it was "5% hardware and 95% software".Last edited by xxMATTGxx; 25-01-2010 at 06:48 PM.

Nah, he's not a fantasist. He's very capable, as I've already mentioned he has done loads for the iPhone community, mainly unlocking the iPhones to all platforms.

Would be nice, if the platform did get opened up a bit more it would make my PS3 a little bit more interesting.
