The PS3 has been officially hacked after all these years
"PS Jailbreak is a USB plug and play solution that installs in seconds, keeping your valid warranty seal in tact.
Easy to use installer and GUI takes you step by step.
Compatible with all production models FAT and SLIM. Supports all regions: USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA
PS Jailbreak disables forced software updates and will never brick your console.
Supports all games (it does not allow backups of bluray movies , dvd movies , or past consoles games)
Backup games to your internal hard drive or external hard drive through USB, and boot directly off GUI. Eliminating the need for expensive blueray burners and costly blank media.
Play backups off your hard drives 2x as fast as off the blueray drive. This eliminates lags and glitches to provide you with smoother game play.
Open up your console to a new generation of homebrew applications. Load homebrew apps/games off any USB hard drive/flash drive.
Fully updatable with new features/updates by connecting PS Jailbreak to any computers USB port."
Now that being said, port Elysian Shadows to the PS3, and you can't argue that DC is better than the PS3 hardware wise... PS3 is not like the PSP, its hardcore

Curious how long it'll be on the market before Sony shuts them down... I would LOVE it if they made a 360 version.

After they make a PS3 homebrew kit that is. I think there may be a few already, but I'm not sure about their ease of use/popularity.

I am pretty sure the hack is part of the hardware, I am totally down to solder together my self a USB doggle to hack the PS3 if the schematics are released
Probably won't cost very much

According to that you can get banned
How the PS3 was hacked:
While hackers usually had to work very hard to succeed in the videogame scene, now all seems to become a business of corruption and audacity.
A short timeline of the PSJailbreak. How it may have started, succeeded and may go on.
PAST
Part 1: Someone (called “the fake hacker†below) came in contact with an employee of a SONY service center. The fake hacker probably used a bit social engeneering until the employee agreed to sell him one of the SONY confidential JIG Sticks used in the service centers to test and repair broken PS3 SKU’s.
Part 2: The fake hacker used documentation and software which was leaked by other SONY employees to study the JIG stick. The stick is used to boot a special firmware from itself before the original PS3 firmware starts. The now running system allows to execute debug/fake signed executables which can be created with SONY’s official SDK.
Part 3: The fake hacker shared the information with his team members and people who were able to clone the stick. Probably in china as usual.
Part 4: The stick is clonable, so the fake hacker went on and used stolen/leaked software from SONY’s official SDK to develope (the only real work he did!) the application known as “backup manager†which is used on the PS3 to dump and start the backups.
PRESENCE
Part 5: The fake hacker distributes high illegal clones of the original JIG stick via several online shops including the “backup manager†which is also illegal as it’s all created with stolen/leaked software and documentation by SONY.
FUTURE
Part 6: SONY may update the PS3’s bootcode to prevent loading the stick. They also could log the “backup managerâ€â€™s game ID (LAUN-12345) when people go online. So they could identify who actually uses the illegal JIG clone and ban the affected consoles. This would be an illegal step aswell, but hey; it’s SONY.

You know whats ironic about the whole statement? The Jail break is a clone of the Sony's fixing hardware.
