Sony is now issuing Perma-Bans to PSN hackers

4.7
Sony is warning its Playstation 3 Users that anyone caught using the recently released modified software on their Playstation 3 units could face being Perma-Banned

Sony has issued a consumer alert to its PSN users informing them that “Unauthorised software for the Playstation 3 system was recently released by hackers” and that “Use of such software violates the terms of the ‘System Software License Agreement for the Playstation 3 System’ and the ‘Terms of Services and User Agreement’”

“To avoid permanent termination, consumers must immediately cease using and delete all unauthorised or pirated software from their Playstation 3 systems”

It seems unclear from this statement whether these Perma-Bans will be blocking users from connecting to the Playstation Network or if Sony will be console banning the offending Playstation’s.

Rampages Does anyone know if you can get ban for being in these infections lobby on CoD 4 or MW2? I'm getting a PS3 so I am new to this. I know you could get your account ban on XBL... I hope I don't get a console ban for being in modified lobbies in CoD 4 and MW2....

For being in lobbies, no. For hosting lobbies, yes.


What if I host them if my PS3 isn't jailbroken?


You will still get banned must likely.
