There needs to be a sticky. "IF YOU WANT XBMC ON X, Y, Z PLATFORM: YOU WRITE THE CODE". The other thread was locked. The Boxee thread won't die.

Master key has been released, and sony can't do nothing about it appart from trying to scare people off
It isn't a moo point. Sony is dedicated to stopping these hacks. That means they're making it harder to hack the PS3 and the consequences can be severe. That doesn't stop it from happening, it just reduces the number of hacked systems. Fewer hacked systems, less reason to port XBMC to the PS3.
Obviously there are a lot of people that have PS3s that would like to run XBMC on them. Unfortunately it s a closed system. Why not just use it to play games?

Another topic regarding this was just closed and locked. It's not going to happen. The devs have absolutely zero interest in this. Forget about it.

could care less if it happens or not got a nice HTPC for xbmc
But I don't think you can say with any certainty that it will never happen, unless you can see into the future which you can't can you ?

How much less could you care? A little? A lot? Because no one is saying it won't happen.
According to the core XBMC Devs, they were never going to ever support Sigma chips (Media Hour, etc), but we see how that changed.
However until someone else says they're going to do it, it's not going to happen.

The difference there is that Sigma is actually paying someone to do it.

Forget about it.I think he said it's not going to happen or am I reading it wrong, And I have zero interest in seeing xbmc on the PS3, But the way some ppl are talking it's set in stone that it's never going to happen, Which of course is just waffle, no one knows what will happen in the future, except maybe Marty mcfly

sorry agreed not gonna happen. great idea..... worst company on earth ruined that beautiful machine.

i have 3.41 bc cracked ...... but like i said thats less 5% .
it would be sexy as a frontend tho.... you know how many rlod boxes i buy to make htpcs
sonys so fucking stupid for not making that thing a media center out of the box.
