PS3 SPI hardware hacking

This has drifted way off topic...

@VampDude: Have any of your bullet points got any relevance at all as to why the PS3 would be a better machine to hack ??

Nope, though the PS3 is ultimately the console to hack because it has the power... The thing that amuses me, is that I think my PS3 has more power than my PC (I think?). But the PS3 can be hacked, there is an option to return the console to the very point it was when purchased. So in theory, custom firmwares are a possibility.

lol at the Sony fanboys on here!

That applies to me...

PlayStation and PS2 slim tidily behind my TV (out've the way and playable), PS3 slim nicely blended to my media setup (on top).

Well I give you respect for owning up to that. lol

call me a fanboy if you will but havin had PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox and Xbox 360, i find that sony have always had the more reliable console.

microsoft rushed the 360 to get the console out first and most of there consoles are faulty, i no the ps3 have the Yellow light of death but all electricals prob have a fault sumwere but how many consoles have microsoft had returned compaired to sony?

My #1 problem with the 360 is the build quality followed by all the expensive proprietary add-ons. I'd rather have a modded original Xbox than an unmodded 360. :P

Of course, 360 could be an incredible homebrew machine as could PS3. Who cares which one is hacked? They're both powerful, they both could be incredible homebrew machines... What's the problem with that?

Choppy graphics? wtf have you been smoking. Last time I check the 360 utilizes anti-aliasing better than the PS3. Not to mention the 360's GPU have been proven to crunch more numbers than the Ps3's risc. And of course I'm going to get flamed about all the stupid bull about how it gets the rrod and how the 360 has hdmi 1.2 instead of how the PS3 has hdmi 1.3 and how you have to pay for live (when clearly xbl has more features). But I'm not here to put facts in your face. I was just clearly stating the fact that hardly no one here seems remotely interested in the 360 and just the ps3 or the psp. I could care less what you prefer, but the fact remains that the 360 with the jtag hack is getting some kick ass homebrew for it already. I personally would love to see nullDC get ported to it. Oh, how that would make my day. So don't pout over what the 360 can do because you're not getting any PS3 hacking love your way. Instead, celibate! By buying a pre-7xxx dash 360 just so you can jtag it and get back all those joyful memories that you once had with the original xbox =]

Meh...

Until they figure out how to run homebrew code on either the PS3, or X-Box 360 WITHOUT a physical modification like a modchip. Screw them both for homebrew/emulation, and stick with a powerful PC.

Or go pick up a Wii.

Rather an Xbox... Getting one used, hardmodding it, and adding a big hard drive would probably be cheaper than buying a Wii. :P
