It had to happen, as you can’t keep good hackers down, but finally someone has hacked the PS3. Â According to George Hotz’s blog post, Geohot has made the acquaintance of the Hypervisor, which presumably is a really good sun shield for protecting the PS3 from overheating in warmer climates.
As the blog states, it’s taken well over 3 years for the PS3 to finally be hacked. Â That’s pretty good going for consumer electronics these days, although George says it took him a total of 5 weeks to do the deed. Â There’s not a lot of information yet, as you’d expect, but you can always follow @geohot on Twitter if you want to get the latest news as he releases it.
For the record, at TheSixthAxis we don’t condone piracy.
