Unless it has been known before, I think I just discovered something :

I have an email address used for very specific things, and I know exactly to who I gave it.
I contacted the Gateway team a few months ago to get a sample product and they added my email address to their mailing list.
Each time a new update for the Gateway has been released they sent me an email about it.
But now I'm starting to receive emails about Cobra ODE updates...

So I suppose we can jump on conclusions....

Because we all know emails are completely private except to their recipients, and people/companies never share email addresses, right?

It's freaky, the same thing happened to me and I had the same thoughts. I don't know what Cobra products do, I don't even own a console and have never followed console hacking.

I sent an email to Gateway team before and I keep getting the updates on that email address. However today I must have gotten second or third email in the form of updates for some Cobra thingy that I don't even care about.

The email from s.a.l.e.s.[a.t]c.o.b.r.a.-.o.d.e.com
We are releasing today a new update for the COBRA ODE. The bootloader is
being updated to v1.1 which should fix everyone's problems with USB thumb
sticks not being recognized. Please refer to the user manual for
instructions on updating the bootloader.

Also, the MCU update is now at version 1.3 which also fixes the USB thumb
stick access, as well as a few other small fixes. Please refer to the
Changelog.txt for more information.

The COBRA manager has also been updated and is now at version 1.2. You can
now load games without rebooting your console or ejecting the disc. Simply
quit the manager after selecting your game and the manager will make the
PS3 restart automatically. If you wish to quit the manager without
rebooting, simply press X to discard the yellow dialog before quitting the
game and it will not restart the XMB.

The third-party library is also being updated with many changes which
break the previous API, and to better parse the new files available from
the ODE. ODE Manager developers should read the documentation and review
the new API when integrating. Also, please refer to the user manual to
understand the changes to the file structure.

Note that initial orders may not recognize all the USB drives, so if the
LED does not flash purple, the update may not have been performed. Use a
thumb drive or hard drive which works with the ODE to install the initial
bootloader update which will then fix support for all other drives.

We are working hard everyday on improving the COBRA ODE, most critical day
one bugs are now fixed. We have just discovered a data corruption in the
DISC.ISO file when dumping the original disc which we will fix as soon as
possible. In the next releases, you can expect the following features :

geniso: IRD support
manager: Disc dumping support
MCU: PSX and PS2 iso support.

All files can be found in our download section here:

Greetings,
Cobra Team Sales

Well at least there is a link between them...
Moreover the mail sent from both team are very similar in style and in contents...
So they are may be not the same team, but it seems they have the same person who write emails and the same mailing list.

Ugh.... smh, this is exactly why Neimod closed his flicker, cuz ppl start "speculation" like how neimod is Legacy.

Wait, lemme guess, Gateway is also Neimod because they both use the same exploit? So Cobra, Neimod/Legacy and Gateway are all the same people....

All of this happening in the same week of 3 Steam announcements....

WAIT! 3 different people who all share 1 life... + Valve Steam Announcements...

3 + Life + Steam...

Mind = Blown

OK then, just close this thread please. I found the facts interesting and I thought that maybe someone would have more informations to confirm or deny them, but whatever...

Don't listen to Vengence, he posts that in pretty much every thread. A discussion is fine, but pure speculation isn't going to do anyone any good. If your thread is going to be titled "Gateway Team and Cobra Team are the same," provide more evidence than receiving an email from Cobra 3 months after giving your email to Gateway.

The half life 3 part was a joke, but the speculation part i was being serious. No one likes to be accused of something especially if you can't prove it (You didnt even show the email). Hence Neimod closing his flickr. I would say email them asking if they are Cobra but they seem to be screening emails due to everyone emailing them about everything from updates to new features everyday.

I resent that, i've only been posting it this week only in honor of valve (2 times tops):tpi:. One of these days it might be true you know. Loosen up and have a little harmless fun :grog:

Hey IMO Half-Life 3 is the best speculation going on in this thread...lol. Now for some wild speculation I emailed WiiKey team and asked them for information or a release of new info on the WiiKeyU and they DIDN'T answer me, which surely means that a release is going to stealth occur any second now...lol.....damn I wish it would or they would at least give us an udpate. Unlike Gateway (when they first went public) WiiKey is an established team that has made products for like 6 years so I don't think they would have announced hacking the WiiU drive encryption without having done it, but they have had no news since July so no idea when we will see a WiikeyU device.
