George Hotz, the young gun who first hacked the iPhone 2G, has claimed to have compromised the Playstation 3. On his blog, Hotz wrote:
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.
Hotz hasn’t revealed the exact details of the exploit, so nothing’s confirmed quite yet, but interested PS3 users should stay tuned to see how this unfolds

this will just be used for piracy, can’t even really claim homebrew because you always had linux, I don’t care that you couldn’t access the P.O.S gpu.
