I think everyone is missing the point here......
Banning this mod-chip ... will not prevent it coming to market. Yes it will more difficult to purchase - but at the end of the day there will be ways and means of getting one.
Sony are wasting their time / money - they forget where there is a will there will be away which is evident in the efforts that have gone into this modchip over the past 3/4 years since the Ps3 was released
The game's over - Sony will have to go back to the drawing board and improve it's protection.
