I'll still probably wait for a price drop. Even if this works now (and i have no doubt it does), there's still no guarantee it will work with later firmware updates. Even though the dongle's software is update-able, eventually they'll hit a brick wall, just like with the PSP. Unless the update by-pass can by-pass the check to play online, I dont think it's worth $150.

no doubt SOMEBODY will find a way to crack the USB key, and leak the program for free. then sony will patch it. then we are all fucked. better to stay expensive and secret rather than come out in the open about these things. Sony WILL step it up, just like they did with the PSP go and PSP 3000, where its near impossible to hack.

This sucks. One of my top ten reasons why I liked the ps3 was because it was unhackable.
Why does it matter that it's hacked? Everyone keeps complaining about it. I don't see a reason TO complain. For the people who want it hacked, go hack it. For the people who don't, don't. As simple as that.
Yeah, but now this means hackers online.
That was the reason why I hated the xbox online.

....my old fats would then be up to date with my slim, and you (sony) could then go on to actualy fight piracy instead removing features

Also, the backup manager pkg file can be downloaded from the site:
http://psjailbreak.com/downloads/manager.pkg
Somebody could try one of the existing PKG installer hacks to see if it works.

I know this may sound like a stupid question so forgiveness please, but the USB device is required in order to jailbreak the PS3 right..its not like we can just download the backup manager and go from there..we need the actual device to make it work? Also..I read on the psx-scene forum about how when you backup a game to an external hard drive you have to have a game in the PS3 in order for it to work..is that true, and if yes, can it be any game since I already have a few games on my PS3 already

1. The USB device is NOT just a flash drive. it is a dongle. it has its own special hardware.

2. Downloding the PKG file will do nothing unless you have the dongle

3. For maximum compatibility, you need to have a disc in the drive. At this point its unknown why. Maybe because some games do disc checks from time to time.

Yes, you need the device. Since you need to use a disk, I'm not entirely sure, but I think it can by any disk.

Oh Ok I understand..I appreciate you answering my questions.. so I can have any game in the PS3 at the time, can even be an older game, as long as there is a game in there..also, since the dongle is required, does it always have to be in the USB port of the PS3..and I can put the external hard drive in the other USB port. I just hope that when this thing is released that it will ship to the US and the shipping cost wont be insane since it already is gonna cost 150 bucks

Whoa! Very interested in the homebrew part. Lets see the emulation possibilities

-Wii/GC
-PSP
-NDS
-N64
-GBA/GC/GB
-PSX
-Sega Saturn
-SNES
-Sega Genesis/CD
-NES
-and everything else thats underpowered by Sony.

This could be the ULTIMATE Emulation Monster we've been dreaming of...

Wii? Are you sure? I don't think Wii could be emulated...
