It is rare for Sony players to be hackable without being rechipped. This is
because very early players were easily hackable* and the movie distributors
won a case against Sony. Sony were required as part of the settlement to
ensure that future players were not hackable.
Since every other manufacturer made their players hackable, the distributors
couldn't launch law suits against all of them. Sony may well chance their
arm again, if they haven't done it already.
*These early Sony players could also have the macrovision turned off - this
probably didn't help.
