Sony has just effectively destroyed the market for modchips for their 
consoles by issuing threats of legal action against the producers of them.

Even thought the modchips are not illegal it seems that everyone is 
folding and ceasing to supply the chips.

Yet more consumer power goes out of the window - I wonder if the producers 
of Region X (the CD that allows you to watch DVDs on a PS2 from other 
regions) have received a similar threat.
