PS3 hacked

Looks like they did it just to challenge Sony, and not to benefit in any way other than bragging rights. I wonder how long till an emulator is made? This is very exciting, but is it okay to discuss this type of thing here?

It isn't to challenge Sony, there are 2 main reasons, homebrew as tlarkin says, and for the challenge. It is like a project just to see if they can do it, and what the potential of the system is.

As to emulators, it will be a hell of a long time. Take the PS2 as an example, you need a pretty decent system in order to run a PS2 emulator well, most people, even now, are unable to play PS2 games on their PC, and that is a nearly 11 year old console.

You can discuss emulators, however do not post links to them, guides for getting them, names of them or how to use them. You can give your opinion on them, but not endorse them as they are a grey area and the way that you obtain certain things to get them to work are generally either extremely touchy and frowned upon, or illegal.

Treat it as we are treating the hacking of the PS3 - you can mention the pirating of games, the effects of it, the difficulties of it etc, but you can't say you can download them from here or you can use pirated software by doing this

I still say most people will buy something if it is worth it, whether they can get it free or not. Look at iTunes, Steam, etc.

I agree with you Cromewell...I know some people that use hacked software and games all the time. The hacked stuff they would never buy anyway. If a new big title Xbox or computer game comes out...they buy a legit copy. If the item is worth the money, even hardcore hackers will buy it. I've seen it.
 
My take on the hacking is this: It's pretty neat what the hackers did. The fact that they are publicly saying they don't support piracy is good, may or may not be true. We will never know anyway. I agree with the statement its my ps3 Ill run my software on it.

As for piracy, I download music I would like to see if I like, sort through what I don't like, delete it, do a more serious sorting and see whats worth buying. After that I delete it, and put the music on a buy list. then, eventually, I buy it. Did the same when I had a computer that ran good games. Basically I try it before I buy it, and I'd use youtube for the music but, dial up fails and I am not going to sit at the library watching 100 videos.

grooveshark is soooo awesome. They're suppose to release an iphone app soon too.

They did release an app but it got rejected. So if you were lucky enough to grab it while it was up you can use it on your phone now. It got rejected because the app itself actually downloads songs in the background to make streaming better. This breaks Apple's EULA in the app store. They are revamping the app to release it yet again.
