After about 3 years since Sony launched the PS3 game console, is finally hacked! I do not want to elaborate more … lets the guy GeoHot speaks for himself:-

I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I’ve also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip.

3 years, 2 months, 11 days…thats a pretty secure system

Although he did not mention weather is the slim or the fat has been successfully hacked or should i assume both firmware is the same. Anyway I would also really like to know how’s Sony going to re-act to it. Follow the updates HERE

Some of the key enhancement/updates:-

1. New design of the XMB screen

redesigned of XMB background color & fonts size
