Sony Could ban PSjb PS3's from their network.

Thinking about Jailbreaking your PS3. Think Again?

Ok So what it PSjb. It is a tool that will allow you to play back ups of your games via the PS3 which after almost 4 years on the market it is the only console that is or was unable of being hacked. Now the PSjb has been released which works just like any USB stick where you stick in on your PS3 and have the ability to play back ups.

This is great but what you are forgetting is that most people use it to pirate video games which means from all the profit that Sony has never gained through the years of losing money on the PS3, this could mean Sony will keep on losing more money as well as developers. 

What will Sony do about this? Nothing except ban you from playing online and from the PSN. This is similar to what Microsoft does with the 360 but the ban is nothing compared to all the money Sony will keep on losing if people keep buying this USB stick.

This is what PS3 Hacks had to say: 

"Backup manager game ID (LAUN-12345) could be logged/recorded by Sony when logged into PSN (when online). This would obviously allow Sony to see who would be using the illegal PSjb/clone and we could very well see ban waves similar to the Xbox 360. Sony does currently ban PSN/consoles that results in the 8002A227 error code.
As people start getting their PSjb in the next few week, we highly advise that you do not log into PSN while using the backup manager, which means no playing online."

Of course Sony has not commented on this subject but I'm pretty sure they're not happy.
