engadget.com— Hackers, like life, will find a way. Sony knows that all too well thanks to the PSP, but so far the PlayStation 3 has stood strong in the face of legions of nerds trying to find a way to exploit it.

Id love to rip all the 3rd party dev games... For the 360 fanboys you should not be talking, your console is fully hacked and able to play back ups and has been since 3 months after it came out. Ps3 is still unhacked. No one has hacked it. Sure they have some files but there is a whole lot more to deal with... I doubt Ps3 will ever be hacked its just not realistic. No one is going to buy a blu ray burner, downloads are too big, not to mention whatever on the fly encryption the ps3 might have... 360 is the console if you wanna hack. Its easy, available to anyone, you can feasibly download the files but just about any computer has a DL DVD Burner anyways. Then again most games out now suck anyways so why bother.
Actually, the 360 started shipping with a new Lite-on drive some time ago, and some consoles being sent in for repair have had their old drives replaced. Trouble is that this drive seems "un-hackable" as of now. I don't doubt for a second that it will be hacked at some point. As will the entire PS3. It's the way things work, and thinking otherwise means you're about as naive as Sony themselves. Sure, you could by an "old" 360 and get the hackable drives, but the day it brakes down you're running a risk sending it in for repairs. Fact is, if you were to buy a brand new console today you would be equally f**ked wether you went with the PS3 or the 360.And of course people will buy blu-ray burners. Even if they don't, external harddrives have become so incredibly cheap over the last one or two years that it would probably be the cheaper alternative of the two. I would prefer a solution with a connected 1TB drive hidden behind a shelf or whatever to actually burning the disc. I own a PSP, and I'm glad that I can run my games off of my then-expensive 2GB memory stick. I don't see why I should feel any different with the PS3.And no, downloads aren't too big for a lot of people (maybe they are for most people, but living in Denmark, I have a 20mbit download which means that 20GB would be no trouble at all).Furthermore, the fact that "most games out now suck anyways" just increases the need for letting the consumer see the goods before actually being a game.
