The question is can it stay this way, or is this the start of an uphill battle like the PSP has been

Prob not. Hacking is ripe. PC games, PSP, and 360, we will never get away from it.
So the likes of Sony and Microsoft can only do what they can.
I know a few people who have 360's that have custom firmware etc

. It's just not gonna go away.

It's so pointless on the 360 because your system can get completely bricked from the online. Meaning you can't even sell it on. Really not worth it.

I'm not sure if Sony can do the same thing and ban an actual console from connecting online. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it all pans out. And @Coxlin - that is a crappy revelation, backwards compat should be standard at least to some effect
