If for some reason you haven't heard about the recent PS3 hacks, this is what happened: a guy named George Hotz, Geohot, broke through the security encryption on the PS3. Now Sony is having a hard time trying to undo this mess, people started playing pirated games, unlocking trophies illegally, cheating at Call of Duty, and basically being general F*$&&#$^&#&$s to Sony (yes thats a real word google it).
Sony filed a temporary restraining order against Geohot, which the courts have recently approved. Hotz also has been given ten days to turn in all his computers, hard drives, and miscellaneous hacker-type things to the court.
In an effort to curb stomp the rest of the hackers (or just break thier hacking fingers ) a security patch has been issued to the PS3's firmware.
Score one for Sony. What's this? Less than twenty-four hours after the firmware was released, it was hacked. hackers win again.

other statistics : cars destroyed (994,665,956), times players ran around the Earth (129,069), and Tomahawk Bankshots (28,494.020). Treyarch seems to have a winning formula with Black Ops
