Now do they really bother? I have no idea. In theory they could collect the ps3 mac address easily through code then send it as data rather than rely on the comm exchange. The problem being that even if you are not exposing your ps3 mac address directly, we don't really know what data Sony psn servers collect by querying the ps3 OS psn interface. He explained to you that your ps3 mac address isn't seen by Sony (or anyone else outside your local private network) if your ps3 is assigned a private IP address by a router using NAT because it is the router's mac address that is used in communication exchanges.Īnd he concluded that spoofing the mac address to hide it in comms would only make sense if your console was directly assigned a public IP (an IP accessible from a public network ie the Internet). Nothing has changed, the situation is identical to what it was on ps3 launch. Click to expand.He did not say it was no longer the case.
