PlayStation Home Hacked
Engadget says that the PlayStation Home beta
has been hacked. Who knows what good that will do but you know how it goes, most of this is just about bragging rights anyhow.
A potentially major breakthrough may have been made, though, as well-known PS3 hacker StreetskaterFU (we've no idea what he's going for with that name -- really) has managed to decrypt the beta client for Sony's PlayStation Home service. Curious devs can now poke around in the files looking for a way to exploit the newish in-game XMB functionality, potentially allowing homebrew apps and game backups without hard drive swapping.
