More importantly, it has now come to know that Sony will be able to monitor when jailbroken PS3 owners log into PlayStation Network using the backup game manager exploit. Many gamers are warning other jailbreakers to avoid PSN, since some of them have started to get an error code 8002A227 on Playstation 3 whenever they log on to the PSN.
