You will find that i posted that exact ban code list here almost a year ago, so of course it wont include Jailbreak Devices/CFW/Piracy as a a reason, but looking at the list, you can be guaranteed that this reason will be added quite soon, so you decide if it is anything to be worried about.
On top of the ban code that people seem to be having, it also seems that many members of this forum and various others, have been receiving an email, warning against the use of such devices that could circumvent the PS3′s security, here is the said email, i copied it from one of my loyal twitter followers Irvysan
from PlayStationIt seems Sony is willing to give the rule breakers a chance, so if you are worried about being banned, stop using the PSN bypass method, reflash your 3.55 CFW machine, with 3.55 OFW, completely format your harddrive, then install 3.56, if you arent worried about being banned or if you don’t use PSN, then just stay were you are.
