Comment on Sony Threatens Mass Bans for PS3 Pirates by Kappa Engineer:

Actually that was nothing new the PS2 had linux so it could be sold as a computer in the UK.

When they took away the other OS you could say they owed the UK government back taxes on those PS3s that were taxed as a computer.

  Security should be server side not client side.

  I don’t really pirate newer games that much though I do often buy used games. But I do like to be able to load homebrew,emulators and roms on my consoles. The Wii for example lacks a true media player but you can add one using the homebrew channel. Such a thing would be nice on the PS3 as it’s media player and browser are at best a sick joke. Being able to play old PS1 and PS2 games also would be nice. Sony is just being a dick as there is no reason why backward compatibility should not be …

  PS4 also is reported to not be that big of an upgrade over the PS3. The specs I seen a quad core X86 with an Integrated GPU will make it much less powerful then the Xbox 720 closer to the Wii U but it should be very easy to pirate compared to it’s predecessor.

  Here it looks more like they copied a bunch of fan made vocaliods from Deviant art.

  Cuter then Miku no but not bad. As for comments saying westerners can’t design cute characters these look actually like some of the fan stuff you see posted on Deviant art.

  Or maybe see if they can make a real Wii successor using a faster PPC chip maybe 4 to 6 core at 3.2Ghz and pair it with a GPU with 1024 coda or stream cores. This would make the PS4 look pathetic.
