Well, it's the usual game.

Peeps trying to keep things secret and preventing other people to do what they want with the actual hardware they payed for, and other peeps finding ways to achieve that.

You remember DVD Jon?

Same will probably happen to the PS3 "root key"

The only reason that it took so long for this to happen was that older versions of the ps3 allowed people who wanted to to have a decent level of access. That was taken away and very soon after the entire thing was blown open.

Probably a lesson to be learnt here, wonder what it is?

Surely the lesson is "don't seed all your keys with the same random number". 😉
