A hacking group called "fail0verflow" has presented at this week's Chaos Communication Conference 27C3, showing off the PlayStation 3 "private key" that Sony uses to authorize code on all retail consoles. Knowing the private key means any hacker can gain full control of the PS3 system, without needing to jailbreak it using a USB dongle.

If used, the PS3 should be permanently jailbroken, as unofficial code can be quickly updated when Sony creates new firmware updates like version 3.55, which added nothing of use to the console, but did block USB-based jailbreaks.

Is this the final nail in the Coffin for PS3, will Sony now just concentrate on the PS4?

    Some people spend too much time in the closet, without ever coming out.
