I am guessing the ECC algorithm is a Reed Solomon derivate?

So...does this mean...you can run whatever you want on the PS3? Hacked dashboard or home or whatever PS3 calls it...PS3 has been hacked or at least has the possibility to be hacked more than the 360? I might want to pick up a PS3....
No..not yet anyway but this is a good step in the right direction meaning that they can now write the Sony firmware to the PS3 but a true dump and study of the dump would have to be explored for any security points and checks and so on, then a exploit of some kind or even a custom firmware would have to be developed for implementation in order to running home brew from the XMB as seen in the PSP
Had we not seen the Linux system out of the box when released this hack would have probably been done a least a 6 months after the release of the PS3 as there whould have been more of a push from more groups to do this

I believe there was a tiff exploit of some sort that worked on an early firmware, but I don't know what all it allowed. I believe this means they could re-flash an older firmware if an exploit exists it, much like what is talked about with the 360's KK exploit.
Hopefully, some juicy homebrew ensues.

im just surprised that hacking the ps3 took this long either sony did real well or people just dont care

If this method leads to playable backups or anything really interesting, it safe to update the PS3 now if I wanted to be able to use this method later?

If you remain constantly up to date with lastest firmware, your PS3 should be dedicated to online pleasure and don't expect it to be ever hacked.
(same logic goes for 360's)

People care, and progress is being made. Its the new hardware thats throwing everyone through a loop. One of the biggest hurdles was the bluray drive, which is why most are going for a loader approach, since burning through a bunch of blurays would get very expensive, not to mention buying the burner...
It will happen, and its lack of progress has nothing to do with skiddies on some forum making rude comments, like anyone cares what a 14yearold gamer says or thinks.

i remember that 7 months ago i bougth a us 60gb ps3 and was ver 1.0, and posted a tread asking if should i update the firmware or wait for the scene to see if they'll work they'r magic.
I waited for 6 months and then updated the ps3 to play MGS4(bad choice)
i would donate my ps3 if i can get it back latter, lol

It's just in the later part of the year more and more groups have seriously started to work on it.
And sony has done a hell of a good job at keeping up whit the exploits, plugging every hole that might be exploitable....
And besides, Baby steps are better the no steps!
