An exploit will be devised and distributed and the console manufacturer will release a firmware update that plugs the gap. Usually, what happens in these situations is an arms race with the hacker community. We are spending a lot of time talking about how we can deal with that problem."

In 2009, Peter Dille of Sony Computer Entertainment Amerrica told Gamasutra, "We can look at data from BitTorrent sites from the day Resistance: Retribution goes on sale and see how many copies are being downloaded illegally, and it's frankly sickening. It has also seen dozens of third-party developers and publishers abandoning the platforms.

According to a report published by Japan's Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association last year, piracy on the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP has cost the industry $41bn (£26.5bn) since June 2004. There are products available for Nintendo's handheld that allow gamers to download pirated titles from the web and store dozens on a single cartridge. The original Xbox also proved to be an easy machine to hack, thanks in part to a leaked SDK, which gave coders low-level access to the hardware.īoth the Nintendo DS and PSP have been comprehensively hacked, too, opening the doors not only to homebrew apps but to rampant piracy. Sega's Dreamcast console, launched in 1999, was one of the first major targets, favoured by homebrew coders for its powerful hardware, online functionality, and ease of access. And naturally, the floodgates that have prevented widescale piracy on the console for the last few years could be smashed to pieces.Ĭonsole hacking of this sort has been a part of the games industry for over a decade. It would then effectively be an open system.

Although the current hack requires users to modify their PS3 to run homebrew apps (or use a PS3 'Jailbreak' dongle, which bypasses the security system on machines with older versions of the firmware), further developments may ensure that anyone with the relevant software tools and technical knowledge could produce applications that will run on any PS3. However, days later hacker, George Hotz (also known as Geohot), previously responsible for opening the iPhone system to so-called "jailbreak" hacks, did released the required firmware package decrypter on his website. Consequently, the group didn't itself reveal the key. Like many members of the hacker community, Fail0verflow is resolutely anti-piracy – its members bypass console security systems merely as an intellectual challenge, or to run their own operating systems and applications. But with the key – essentially a long sequence of numbers – Fail0verflow coders would be able to compile their own custom firmware and then build applications that could run on any system.

Legitimate games and movies will only play on the console because the discs provide a password or signature to the encryption system, which recognises them as authorised products. Through the use of what they termed "simple algebra" they had managed to exploit a weakness in the PlayStation 3's encryption system, thereby gaining the public key required to run any software on the machine. In December, a group of coders operating under the name Fail0verflow stood up at the Chaos Communications hackers conference in Berlin and proclaimed that the Sony PS3 security system was an epic fail.
