"It’s not technically unpatchable in the full sense—but in the sense that this is how the console is designed and they won’t change it," CTurt told Ars. "Once you have an exploitable game (digital or physical), it would be difficult for Sony to remove or patch it from your console."

This is going to make the emulator and homebrew crowds very happy.
