We'll have to see what hackers do lol you fucking retarded fanboy learn your facts before you spout bullshit in your replys, sony is making profits on every ps3 sold, in fact sonys been making profits on each ps3 since late 2009 when sony managed to reduce production costs by 70%. It seems clear that Sony is doing their best to block out any hacking or piracy attempts that rise up. This firmware only disables devices that work via USB and if the product isn't licensed by Sony, so some devices are still in the clear. The firmware will disable a good number of third party devices, but not all. Moreover, SCEA does not support continued functionality of counterfeit or unlicensed controllers in system software updates and these devices may cease to function in the future because of system software updates.' It is possible that some counterfeit product may ignite or explode, resulting in injury or damage to the user, your PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, or other property. SCEA advises consumers to be cautious when buying PlayStation®3 Wireless Controllers from uncertain sources as the quality, reliability and safety of counterfeit products is uncertain, and in some cases, may be dangerous. 'Counterfeit PlayStation®3 Wireless Controllers, which are practically identical in appearance to genuine PlayStation®3 Wireless Controllers, have been discovered in the market.

Sony put up a consumer alert on their site which says the following: This comes after their first attempt to block out the Jailbreak through the PS3's mandatory 3.42 firmware update. In response to the PS3's recent hacking attempts such as the PS Jailbreak, Sony has decided to disable third party devices, including third party controllers and USB devices, making the PS3 hack-free.
