It seems the most common/easiest hack is the firmware so you can download/burn/play backups
Unfortunatly with the PS3, I don't think a lot of people are interested in that type of hack for 1) Most of us dont have the banwidth to download 20GB games 2) Most of us don't have Blu-Ray burners 3) It's a expensive peice of (sexy) equipment, one messup and your out $500...
Very good point.
Homebrew would be the only reason I see to continue with this hack-attack of the PS3. What other purpose would it serve you? It wouldn't even help your everyday internet pirate for the reasons you discribed above.
Anyways, thats just my thoughts on the matter...

The whorest reason i ever heard.When the first PS2 backup possibility comes up no body haved a DVD Burner becouse they was priced with 200€ and more for a DL-Burner.The same like now for the BD. point1)
point2) The same as point1 only with bandwidth and the first ps2 isos on the web.(+many of us dont have INTERNET to this time)
point3) The same as point1 but for the costs of the console.(The first years the ps2 was priced with 400€ would be also 600$)
ps. If i was a hacker this would be for me no reason to not hack the console.I think the most of you dont understand the mentality about hacking.Sure with a cheaper console more hacker will give a try.But not every hacker who try to hack a console will be a great hacker.If you are a real Hacker than money will be no reason to not hack a console or what ever.
