So here’s the aftermath of the whole Sony vs Jailbreakers issue: Sony won the case against Geohot, who put out jailbreaking tools for hacking into the PS3. Then Sony released a statement that basically says that they’ll be terminating your access to the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services if you’re running unauthorized or pirated software. Clearly, it wasn’t just a threat: Sony has already started the process. According to a number of reports from users (of hacked consoles), they’ve received an email from Sony, telling them to remove the hacks or have their access to PSN and Qriocity terminated. Email from Sony after the break.
Sony’s email to hacked PS3 users:
Important: Access to the PlayStation(R)Network and Access to Qriocity(TM) Services Notice
