Selon Xorloser Sony prévoit une réponse radicale pour contrer le PSJailbreak : retirer le GameOS soit l'XMB ! En effet çela empécherait l'utilisation du "Backup Manager" donc l'exploitation du PSJailbreak et de tous ses clones. Xorloser tiendrait ses informations d'une "Press Release" (déclaration de presse officielle) de Sony.
Toutefois, Sony prévoit de laisser l'accès aux fonctions multimédia (BD, DVD, musique, photo...). Il est difficile de concevoir un tel changement dans le menu des Playstation 3, et visiblement ça ne fait pas sourire Sony cette histoire. reste à savoir si cette information n'est pas une plaisanterie qui vise à venir titiller ouvertement Sony.
