Oh, Sony. You're just trying to ruin your PR now, aren't you? Well done. My response tweet:

Kevin Butler Accidentally Retweets PS3 Jailbreak Code to Thousands of Followers
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
This just in: Sony sues twitter for them retweeting the jailbreak code.
But seriously sony this is getting out of hand here.

....., i think you might be on to something there zagzag, it does look sorta like an elephant if you look REALLLY close.Zagzag said:In what was at all is that anything like something that even approaches a letter? What is it? An Elephant? How can you possible type that, even if you don't need to?WittyInfidel said:When it comes to Recaptcha, only one word is verified. It'll be the word that is one consistent font, at least five letters, and is not an actual word. It'll just be a mix of gibberish. The other word is inconsequential, and you can type in anything you very well please.Zagzag said:
I am kind of astounded by the fact that several members that have posted on this thread are actually trolling a guy in PR about a security matter. Would any of YOU know what the number sequence was? No. So why would someone at Sony not associated with security know?
And on that matter, yeah, it is KB tweeter account. Doesn't mean he was the guy who retweeted the key. Are you actually searching for reasons to be mean? There are more holes than the ones on my grandma's sweater vest on this story.

Oh my god, i laughed so hard because of that picture! Captcha is evil you know, making you type elephants its a republican scheme!RadiusXd said:
Microsoft: coooooooome to me..... i won't try to sue you if you mod our cooooooooooonsole...Straying Bullet said:
seriously though, this is something i would expect of Microsoft, not Sony. i think it's because Sony is based in Japan, and the japanese LOVE to keep their secrets on how they build things (seriously, whenever they send specialists over to the west to build things, they don't let ANYONE watch what they're doing... kinda suspicious) i'm glad some people are finally figuring out how their shit works
They want to know everyone who watched the video too?! Well in that case, I hope they fire and then sue whoever is in charge of that Twitter account too, because reTweeting that code does a hell of a lot more damage than simply watching a video. Of course, they'll probably want to know the IDs of everyone who follows that account now as well.Logan Westbrook said:
Oh Sony, you're such a bad joke these days.
Well there was this one time that GeoHot posted it online for anyone and everyone to see and copy. It's gone from his site now, but it's already out there. Not really a surprise that someone would have the key.Jumplion said:
I can't speak for the pirates but I know that I personally am tempted to hack my ps3 just to really open the thing up and see what it can do.Pendragon9 said:
If sony gave half decent support to the thing and it really did do everything, there would be a lot less people interested in this kind of info.
The illegal free games are probably just a bonus for most.
Their problem is that they threw down the gauntlet when they removed the Other OS.
There's a fair difference in releasing a product with restrictions in place, and releasing a product, but then downgrading it over the course of its life by imposing more restrictions.Pendragon9 said:
He doesn't have to know it to know he shouldn't reTweet it. Let me set the scene for you.cerebus23 said:
Ok, so this guy manages a Twitter that goes out to thousands of PS3 users, and is managed by Sony. The entire company is in a fucking uproar over a string of random letters and numbers that has destroyed their security. Now someone tweets you a random series of letters and numbers with a goading message. Gee, maybe you should google that string of alphanumeric characters, because it's more than likely the SAME ONE THAT YOUR COMPANY IS GOING APESHIT OVER.
He didn't need to know the code, he just needed common sense and the ability to put 2 and 2 together.
Well let's see, first off the 360 didn't pull a feature away after release.Pendragon9 said:
And, oh yeah, it's not trying to get the personal data of everyone who watches a Youtube video
Saying Sony's reactions is par for the course for piracy is like saying a nuke is par for the course in a war. Yes people are up in arms in wars, but using a fucking nuke is overboard, and while it still aims to kill it certainly isn't "par for the course"
My point is, yes everyone is up in arms over piracy, but nobody has been as ass-backwards and needlessly aggressive about it as Sony has.
Strawman Argument (Sony's bullshit is justified because...Microsoft does it?) followed by:Pendragon9 said:
"Outed yourself as a troll" followed by an irrelevant accusation and a troll statement.
Further, you provide no evidence for your claim. (how has Microsoft devalued their Xbox 360 over time? Last I checked, they didn't blatantly strip features they advertised after the unit was sold.)
Yes. I'm quite the "troll" aren't I?
Tell that to the United States Air Force. They threatened suit with Sony over the removal of those features.
Your "Guilty until proven innocent." attitude is understandable, but still flawed.
eh what? I watch those sorts of videos with a grudging sense of admiration for those people. how can you not at least appreciate the skill and hard work it took to do?
this doesnt make me a criminal or in breach of any agreement with Sony (seeing as how I don't even own a PS3).
just when I was thinking about getting a PS3 too.
Oh well *middle finger towards Sony HQ* I'll get myself a better XBOX360. Mineb is a little dated.
