This should get interesting. Taken aback by Sony’s decision to remove the ability to run third-party code and operating sytems through OtherOS on PS3, George “geohot” Hotz has responded by issuing a terse warning on his personal blog, urging those interested in the exploit and retaining OtherOS functionality to skip the soon-to-be-released firmware 3.21 update.

Hotz’s statement, verbatim, is below:

When 3.21 comes out, I will look into a safe way of updating to retain OtherOS support, perhaps something like Hellcat’s Recovery Flasher. I never intended to touch CFW, but if that’s how you want to play…

And so the game of cat and mouse commences.
