It will never happen. And then out comes the Wii.”

\nNews emerges that the PlayStation Network might have been hacked, Sony release this statement.
\n“We have found out that there has been a possibility of unauthorized access to personal information on the PLAYSTATION\u00aeStore through PCs, a content download service of the PLAYSTATION\u00aeNetwork. Although unlikely, it is possible that the passwords of a small percentage of PLAYSTATION Network users may have been changed through unauthorized access, making it possible to view users\u2019 personal information and\/or use the Wallet for the PLAYSTATION Store. PLAYSTATION Network accounts do not display entire credit card numbers.<\/b><\/p>\n

We have taken immediate measures to rectify this issue and system security is restored.<\/b><\/p>\n

We have investigated the extent of unauthorized access and possible alteration of passwords that could have occurred before corrective measures were taken, and are directly contacting customers who may have been affected by this incident. In order to verify that your account is intact, we strongly suggest that PLAYSTATION Network users sign in to the service. If you can successfully sign in with your pre-set password, your account is not affected by this incident.”

We take our responsibilities and the protection of consumers\u2019 personal information extremely seriously. That is why we are attempting to be transparent in terms of notifying people that we discovered a loophole, which we have now closed. We identified a small number of people who were exposed to the risk of being affected and those we have contacted”

\nIn an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, SCEAs Scott Steinberg stated that Sony didn’t want any of Nintendos senior citizen gamers.
\n“But I think the notion of that controller is a non-trivial point that you’ve brought up, that control and that familiarity is like comfort food – from my perspective, we lead, we don’t follow. And as a brand, Nintendo’s got their thing, and we’re not trying to get the senior citizen group to get into gaming, we’re looking to convert the PS2 owners and the tens of millions of installed base that were playing DVDs and playing games on their PS2, to now play Blu-ray movies and Blu-ray games with their PS3.”

\n“all in all its a hack for rich ppl as you need to have 2 big HDD’s to store all games on it, which you want to play. actually 2 would games require about 50-100GB on both HDD’s. if you have much space on pc hdds that no prob you can just backup and rewrite the data on HDD’s.

However, it is not and in most country\u2019s it is legal. But more important, financial gain is NOT our goal. Deeper understanding of PSN ampersand a intellectual challenge will be our reward.

\nSony file a patent, with the title \u201cProcessor emulation using fragment level translation\u201d, this patent had a diagram showing the PS2\u2019s Emotion Engine and Graphic Synthesizer.
\n“Embodiments of the present invention may be used in emulation of any target system having a secondary processor that cannot modify its own instruction memory. Target systems include, but are not limited to general purpose computer systems and other programmable devices, such as video game console devices. By way of example FIG. 3A depicts a block diagram of an example of a target system 100 in the form of a game console device, a Sony Playstation\u00ae2. PlayStation is a registered trademark of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. of Tokyo, Japan. In this example, the target system 100 is built around a main processor module 102 referred to as an emotion engine, a Graphic Synthesizer 104, an input\/output (I\/O) processor (IOP) 106 and a sound processor unit 108. The emotion engine 102 typically includes a CPU core, co-processors and a system clock and has an associated random access memory (RAM) 110. The emotion engine 102 may perform animation calculation, traverse a scene and convert it to a two-dimensional image that may be sent to the Graphic Synthesizer (GS) 104 for rasterization.”<\/b><\/p>\n
