I'm sure games can check the firmware, and just refuse to work on anything under 1.51, as these are the versions that can be hacked or whatever...
I'll bet sony's sales go right into the shitter if a game comes out like that, until someone finds ANOTHER exploit.
Are there companies out there that couldn't give two shits about what you do with the system after you've bought it?
