2009 was a tough year for Sony, they have been sued several times, And the Ps3 was hacked for the first time ever. Since that initial hack by a team that calls themselves "psjailbreak" many "hackers" or "developers", depending on who's side your on have been coming up with free solutions to jailbreak your PS3. Since then the highest firmware available to jailbreak was 3.55, now for those who own PS3's, you know this is an old firmware, there was no way of jailbreaking a higher firmware until a couple of days ago when a group by the name of The Three Muskateers released the lv0 keys for the PS3. Lv0 is a security in the PS3 that is the last line of defence basically for the system to insure that it doesn't get jailbroken. now that they have been releases the PS3 is pretty much hacked and Sony can't do anything about it. Since that release of the keys there have been numerous customs firmwares for the PS3 and there seems to be more to come. There are limitations to this, the hack only affects consoles made from 2006 to 2010. This is because Sony changed its security after the initial hack. One good thing that could possibly come out of the is a faster release of the much anticipated PlayStation 4. If Sony really can't fix this hack, the may start focusing on the next generation console and drop any plans the had left with the PS3.
Verdict: Sony has gone through a thought time, and the PlayStation 3 is officially jaibroken for some consoles. Hopefully this can spark a faster release of the PlayStation 4.
