After 3 years the PS3 has finally been hacked!!!

I’d say it’s finally music to the ears of most avid gamers, well at least the cheap ones, who hate sucking their wallets up for each game.

Is it ready for game backups? Well not as yet, at least not entirely so, as our friendly neighborhood hacker ‘geohot’ (aka George Hotz) has figured the entire system inside out and is working his way up (source). It should really be a no brainer for him now to build patched systems and tuts for ye hounding pups. My advise is to not hound him just as yet and wait up. You’ve waited 3+ years, might as well stretch it that bit further.

Coming to the very point of geohot and his fellow beings, Well, what can we say about these blessed souls. These guys are messiahs under the hood (no pun intended) but breathe the same air as us (bad exhaust air from their PCs).

What makes them take these leaps? Bad childhood? 1 year old toothbrush? Inability to dance? Whatever it be, they’ve made a difference to each of our lives in some way or the other and will continue to do so till perhaps someone changes their toothrbush.

There also exist the intermediary messiahs (wannabes) that come up with odd outings like this PS3 Grill. God  bless your souls as well.

Seriously, I’d wish for your toothbrush to grow old with you. Please come up with something useful next time.

PS: The joke’s not really on Sony. They’ve made a great attempt at fending off messiahs like geohot for over 3 years now. And really, that’s great effort all round from their team, but better luck next time.

Just in!! Sony just announced a cross sell of toothbrushes with each device sold. They plan to auto-renew toothbrushes each month and promise doorstep delivery. Insider reports claim that the budget for the same has been adjusted and reallocated from their piracy control department.
