PlayStation 3 finally hacked

The genius who jailbroke (read: hacked) Apple’s coveted iPhone has done it again. George Hotz, aka Geohot, set his sights on the PlayStation 3 and took only five weeks to “crack” the Sony gaming console.

This feat is remarkable due to the fact that the PS3 is the last remaining box that can’t be modified for pirated games, unlike the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. Geohot has remained tight-lipped on the sort of exploits he can achieve with his utterly disfigured PS3 pictured above, but we suspect loading unsanctioned programs to tap on the powerful Cell processor is one of the possibilities.
