Even still, Sony will not act immediately on this until they see mass production I can then see them do what Nintendo does with the R4 series chip on the DS, and try to shut it down, but then once the keys are produced, they will always find another outlet to be sold from. Software wise, again they can't attack the USB stick directly, they can try to block where the software gets used, but if the stick doesn't require installation to the PS3, again where are you gonna block it? They can't write software to that USB key to tell it to stop, so again nothing they can do that way. They would still be taking away a hardware functionality. If they actually disabled the USB ports, they would lose that battle quickly and be forced to re-enable them as the PS3 controllers use said ports to charge sure it can work on any USB port device, but what if the PS3 was the only thing you owned.
I would be curious to know what they could disable without losing the functionality of playing retail games which would be illegal.
