First off I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a Playstation fanboy. I don't argue against it's evident flaws nor do I try to bash good things about the other systems, however I always find myself cheering for the Playstation to be successful. I own all of the current-gen consoles, but I'm always most interested with what new exclusives will be hitting the PS3 next. 
 
Now with the recently released hack that seems to have slightly nudged the lid off of Pandora's box, I'm feeling sort of bummed about what is happening. I'm not entirely against hacking/modding though. I think it's cool when people add features in that the system or game didn't have as long as it doesn't affect anyone besides the person who's using it. However when a hack is completely ruining a game and everyones' experience playing it (ex: Call of Duty) it drives me crazy. First of all I have no clue who the people are who would want to go onto a game and hack it in a way so that peoples ranks or stats are reset. This is just the epitome of douche-baggery and I just pray that Sony somehow finds a way to discover who has used these hacks and to console ban them. There's then also the whole possibility of being able to pirate games and also the chance of the integrity of the trophy system being destroyed. This all just seems to screw over everyone in the end.  
 
I really hope that Sony finds a good way to sort this out and to deal with the offenders appropriately. They should also take this time to upgrade overall security and should look to add a reporting system and enforcement team like Xbox has to help deal with future problems as the PS3's current reporting system is basically non-existent.  
 
Maybe there is a light to be found at the end of this tunnel though as perhaps the method of security breach used could have also been applied to the imminently upcoming PSP 2. Having the hack come out now instead of later could have possibly saved the PSP 2 from being dead on arrival as the original PSP turned out to be.
