Is this true about Cell Processor?

Unless I'm misunderstanding you in what you mean by having the key built into the gates.

What I mean is that in every consumer Cell there is one RSA/IDEA DSP, decrypting every opcode. There is ONE single RSA public key hardwired into every consumer Cell.

Sony (and only Sony) has the according private key.

That way every piece of code has to be signed by Sony.

I am no hardware guy, but I am pretty sure that there would no cheap way to alter the RSA public key to run you own code.

The principle would be the same as with current XBox, but with code and encryption hardwired into the cpu.

We'll have to wait and see, but looking at history, everything and their mother has been modded, and i'm sure that eventually someone in a rice plantation in China will find a way to mod the PS3 and X360.

Your mom lives in a rice plantation, btich.

StarShoe, this is your first and last warning. If you make a personal attack of this nature again you will be banned.

london-boy, you should know better through actions. I know it was meant as a joke but it is obvious others have not taken it in that light.
