Geohot releases PS3 hack

Apparently, a hack of some sort was just released by George Hotz (also known as Geohot), who is notorious for "jailbreaking" iPods. In a post on his blog, Geohot said the following:

"In the interest of openness, I've decided to release the exploit. Hopefully, this will ignite the PS3 scene, and you will organize and figure out how to use this to do practical things, like the iPhone when jailbreaks were first released. I have a life to get back to and can't keep working on this all day and night."

He called it the "coveted PS3 exploit", and explained that it gives full memory space access, and ring 0 access from the OtherOS. It also has been confirmed to work on version 3.10.



What does this mean for the P.S.Triple? Hopefully some decent homebrew is on the horizon. I can definitely see some emulators and homebrew games, but I hope that the PS3 homebrew scene (that is inevitably looming on the horizon) uses the PS3 to it's full creative potential, as we've already seen with the PSP. Only time will tell.
