PS3 hacked? I doubt so

http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/ps3-finally-properly-hacked/

In a post titled "Hello hypervisor, I'm geohot," hacker George Hotz (already known in the iPhone community) has made a strong claim: that he has cracked the PS3. The system has remained (mostly) uncompromised for over three years now, with a few exceptions here and there. But, this one pledges full read/write access to the entire system memory and complete control over the processor -- all without a mod chip. Has he really done it, if so how, and what comes next? That all remains to be seen. This exploit supposedly "isn't really patchable, but [Sony] can make implementations much harder," meaning he isn't tipping his hat until he's ready, because once he does the never-ending firmware update war begins, and as we've seen on the PSP, Sony can really knock out those updates.

People has been talking abt hacked ps3 soon. As far as my opinion goes, he has only claims to sneak past the security guard only. Nothing mentioned about the security systems and the vault which will leads the to final hack.

when he has that big a reputation, he claims and people believe.
if a small fry claims to have done the same, i bet there is not much of a reaction and ask him to show proof and claims.

Waiting for a real hack to come out~! But I think I will still buy original.
