And if you think about it, why would someone go to the trouble of writing a virus for it in the first place, like Ikioi mentions?

I can't imagine a team of hackers spending weeks upon weeks to write a virus just so they could host a UT3 server and laugh at people who DL it.

Happy Fragging.
Just a note on OSs, the PS3's OS is installed into firmware. Absolute worse case scenario, a hacker makes a mod that uploads to victims PS3s and bricks the BIOS, making the system dead. Not like that's even remotely likely to happen, but that's how people softmod stuff like PSP.
