SCEA vs. Hotz: Judge Denies Sony's Request for Expedited Discovery

**The Central Scrutinizer** · 02-09-2011,10:32 AM

Hon. Susan Illston has denied Sony's request for expedited discovery. A hearing on SCEA’s Motion is now scheduled on March 11, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. As a result, Sony cannot send out any of the subpoenas mentioned in our previous article (Sony Expanding It's Case - Looking For All PS3 Hackers).

On Thursday, there will be a hearing on the Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) which was previously granted without a hearing.

If a hearing is not held by February 10, 2011, Mr. Hotz will be forced to surrender his storage devices to Plaintiff SCEA, and will continue to be restrained, without a hearing or consideration of the substance of the TRO Order. A hearing is also needed so that Mr. Hotz may limit the breadth and vagueness of the TRO.

As long as his lawyer shows up to court on the 10th, it's good news.

There is no reason to release CFW 3.56 yet.
All the games work on 3.55, homebrew works on 3.55... PSN isn't worth it. If you wanna play online - buy the game. It's only fair.

There prob won't be a cfw until 3.6 comes out.
