They actually don't have to release it. They don't owe that to anyone. More than likely they could have made a deal with Sony to not release it in exchange for compensation. What is the community going to give them? Nothing but grief just like what happened when they were following the rules of the GeekPwn competition to disclose the vulnerability to the company. I'm sure Team Molecule thought that their exploit for the Vita wouldn't lead to piracy either but look what happened there.
Do you have any idea who these people are? Do some more research about them before saying dumb stuff like that. Also if these guys came up to Sony then it would be a GeoHot situation all over again. These guys are literally dedicated to giving the community hacks.

Yeah, ps4 scene seems pretty slow (obviously it is understandable).
Hopefully, but these conservative devs wont alert the community of which 4.0.x versions their exploit works on. It sounds to me like those guys will not be the ones releasing it since they shared the exploit to sony.
From what I'm getting out of this, might as well update if you are comfortable with purchasing a new console later or have a fallback. It will likely be a long time (or never happen) before something is released to the public on FW 4.0.x. I think ill sit this out for a bit, see if there is some change to PSproxy that can bypass this, if not ill join the poor lads on the latest and "greatest" FW

Team Molecule may be dedicated to giving to the community but Chaitin Tech isn't. They are a security company. As stated by their company page. "The Company is currently mainly engaged in highly customized security services and security products, aiming at providing enterprises with effective custom security solutions through developing new technologies and methods, so as to thoroughly improve enterprises’ security defense capability"
I don't get why they're pointlessly stalling it.Yeah, ps4 scene seems pretty slow (obviously it is understandable).

They said it's been patched, so no harm done in releasing it now.
At the very least confirm if the exploit is present on 4.05 for f*ck sake.

The wording does imply that the exploits still worked in 4.05, which would be nice.
Time will tell. My machine is staying on 4.01 for now, but we can upgrade to 4.05 at any point in time using USB anyway.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
