The group responsible for releasing the PS3 LV0 codes to the public only did so because a rival group had supposedly stolen the information, and planned to sell custom firmware based on it for profit. ![]() Check out a very informative FAQ - which derives from Marcan's observations of the breakthrough - that describes the implications of the PS3 hack in plain english at the Wololo forums.
