And for the full fail story behind it, fail0verflow hacking the PS3 presentation is great and covers the bug: https://youtu.be/DUGGJpn2_zY
Most of the console hacking talks are great, both informative and entertaining.

This comic predates that presentation, in fact they use it in their slide deck at 39:00 in your linked video.
That presentation is awesome though, worth a watch either way!
The comic postdates the PS3 DRM bug and jailbreak by many, many years.
That seems impossible (unless maybe you meant to write "predates", and even then it seems to only be about 3 years).
The comic was published on 9 February 2007 [0].
The PS3 was first released in November 2006. I haven't watched the video yet, but its description says "2010 saw the first hacks for the Playstation 3".
