Oh well.

Why would a jailbroken ipod be legal and not a ps3?

What does a jailbroken iPod offer? What does a jailbroken PS3 offer?

Yes i know the PS3 only offers privacy ATM the PS3 will have homebrew at least within a month of the Mod chip release

Because the iPod jailbreak is based on research and reversing, while there's still a high chance the PS3 JB is based off leaked SCE materials.

I would say because Sony say's it's illegal and it's their network.

Just because "jailbreaking" is legal doesen't mean manufacturers can't fight them tooth and nail.

maybe its illegal because they are trying to sell it instead of all ipod jail-breaking being free

I have a hunch the Backup Manager is what prompted Sony to take action. It was compiled with a leaked SDK. Also, PSJ touted running backups as the main feature of the device. Not a smart move.

$169 is way too expensive. But i saw the same USB device for around $50 through PS3Break.
