Sony was opzich wel terughoudend om consoles met Custom Firmware (CFW) te bannen, maar die tijd is voorbij en is het aan. Want diverse forums melden nu dat Sony PlayStation Accounts en consoles aan het bannen is. Maar hackers zijn er al met diverse oplossingen, dus vanaf nu is het Game On tussen Sony en Hackers.

Important Notice: Access to the PlayStation®Network and Access to Sony Entertainment Network Services

Dear valued PlayStation®3 customers,

Unauthorized software for the PlayStation®3 system was recently released by hackers.

Use of such software violates the terms of the "System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation®3 System" and the "Terms of Services and User Agreement" for the PlayStation®Network/Sony Entertainment Network and its Community Code of Conduct provisions.

Violation of the System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation®3 system invalidates the consumer's right to access that system. Consumers running unauthorized or pirated software may have their access to the PlayStation®Network and access to Sony Entertainment Network services through PlayStation®3 system terminated permanently.

To avoid permanent termination, consumers must immediately cease using and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from their PlayStation®3 systems.

In order to help provide a safe, fair, online environment, consumers who we believe violate "Terms of Services and User Agreement" for the PlayStation®Network/Sony Entertainment Network or the applicable laws or regulations of their country or region risk having access to the PlayStation®Network and access to Sony Entertainment Network services terminated permanently.
