PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

If you upload the files that the backup manager makes to the interwebz then I would think that it would work.

You're right, after all he's just talking mainly about AUS prices. We do get it pretty bad over here compared to the rest of the world.

chips are chips bro. except flash carts. prices have always been pretty competitive from australian stores.

But that's not an ISO which i have a feeling a lot of people would prefer. Anyway, it's not as if there is a special key that gets created or is needed specific to that certain PS3 when it makes the backup right?

ISO's aren't currently supported by this loader.

Not sure why no-one wants raw files if that's what works. Won't have to bust open the files if you want to mess around the data as well.

maybe sony wants a increase in hardware sales and thats why they left the usb code sitting on a desk in a unguarded office

This was deliberate.

The main selling point of the PSP was piracy. They just want the hardware numbers. They're willing to sacrifice the software losss. Fuck the developers. lol.

+1 thats what I would do if I were sony: release a hack, let it sell for a month, block it with an update, wait a few months and repeat.

I can't believe my eyes.
You must be an idiot to think that Sony is behind that leak. What company willingly would jeopardize the integration of the console! It's like saying that Nintendo made Homebrew Chanell to increase the sales. Sony shut down other OS installation on PS3 to prevent it and now some of you believe they would profit from that?
I would rather believe that Nintendo would be behind it to eliminate competition, but Sony - never.
On the other hand, recently they laid off many engineers, so maybe that's the reason for leak.
I think they had a nice meeting this mourning

I still wait for a nice review of that jig.
If you want to get it now - go ahead, but now when the gate is open it could be only cheaper and better.

lol

Just think about it.
Sony decides to bring out this like its their hack under another firm name and the hack actually works.
And at some point because they made the hack they block it.

Why they would do that?

To CASH ofcourse

Click to expand...

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, stupider than the person claiming geohot was behind this. Why would Sony do this, when they could make even more money suing people instead?

This whole PS3 jailbreak thing is really making people lose their grip on reality.

Calm down, they're probably what, 12? They don't understand how business works, give them a break. Also I don't get how anyone can say that homebrew sells, what sells is people wanting to pirate games, how many people buy a console thinking "oh wow, i can't wait to play some useless homebrew on this for lols when it finally gets hacked."?

WiiUBricker · Aug 21, 2010

As far as I know, the Backup Manager is compiled with the SDK (1.9?), which makes it illegal to share. It's like posting links to Warez files.

Its not that simple
Like the PS2, sony uses the PS3 to push a disc format. In this case, the Blu Ray.
The BluRay did in fact won the disc format war againgt HD DVD> However, it still fighting, struggling against another disc format: the DVD
The DVD still crushing BLuRay. Why bother with bluray? Because of higher definition? Yeah, try to explain that to the general public. They can only see the higher price tag.
Heck, even i can only see the higher price tag! I have a Playstation 3, a fullHD tv, and i dont care a rat´s ass for BluRay. Its the same things as the DVD, only more expensive and brighter.

So yeah, it does make sense the whole "Sony unleashed the PS3 piracy themselves" talk. Its not probable, but it is possible. It does make sense.
AND the whole "There´s no piracy on the playstationthrOH MY GOD A FULL DEVELOPED PRODUCT AND ITS ALREADY IN THE STREETS BEFORE ANYONE KNEW ABOUT IT" is very rare in the homebrew scene. Usually there´s a lot of rumors and speculation and promises. Take the Wii´s WODE for exemple.

Also, think for one second: It is one thing to download a Wii mega hit game like New Super Mario Brothers, 300mb. Build a whole library of downloaded Wii games and you´re in for full 250GB HDD

Another tottally different beast is to build a whole library of donwloaded PS3 Games
As pointed above, one single PS3 game clocks around 44gb
There´s not too many people willing to download 44GB for one single game. In fact, we´re a really small number
This PS3 piracy will do more good than harm.

All in all, congratulations, Sony. First smart move in the past five years.

Not too big really. With Usenet I could get 50GB in less than 48hours. And with torrents 20 gigs on a public site might take 2 weeks. Also you can dump games from a rental instead (actually i think as of now all you can do is dump games from original copies). You only posted 5 or so games and realistically most PS3 games are also on 360 and were originally designed for 360, so I'd assume they are right at the size of a DVD9.

Looking at those titles you get-

Modern Warfare 2
Madden 2011
Rock Band 2
Super Street Fighter 4
etc all at reasonable file sizes

Also not to troll but FF13 and God of War 3, if you haven't played them, don't bother. Both are huge disappointments. Uncharted 2 though is awesome.

I never tried usenet but torrents I use all the time and my isp only allows 120 GB a month before they cap my speed.

yeah on top of that you have the game installs aswell.... gran turismo 5 will be massive size too, will be buying that of course though, i have pre ordered the signature edition

Finishoff said:

I'll order one once there are more solid reviews about the product.

Just sell my entire PS3 games just to cover the cost for the pendrive.

Click to expand...

what if sony blocks the device you will be out of pocket with a expensive paperweight and no games either... keep the games just incase, i have over 60 ps3 games, it would be really stupid to sell them all now because i would loose money selling them anyway, it's nice to have some games that you know you payed for, morals and all.

I was just messing. Not buying one myself.
Until
1. There cheaper
2. Clone..
More interested though on the hombrew

?
wii emulator anyone?
haha yeah right.
Need a better media player though.

i won't buy one till there is:

1:cheat support
2:XBMC support or something like that, i can retire my old xbox then.
3

sn game support.
4:stealth support like the xbox 360 has to stop you getting banned, otherwise you are a sitting duck using a device like that online..
5:hombrew games 3rd party apps and utilities to tweak your ps3 like custom themes e.t.c
6:and the most important thing of all PRICE $170 is way much for a dongle a lot of people in this topic have said that.

tbh, i wouldn't be buying one for blatent piracy, i enjoy buying my games for the ps3, i just want one to do other stuff that i have mentioned above, and i am so glad i didn't buy a xbox 360 and waited

First of all, $10 or less is not that big of a difference for what you're getting, so no, only people truly worried about money would care all that much.

Second you cannot seriously believe that Sony developed and then sold this... Get serious.

Third, most people have 250gb hdd's in the PS3 itself and can easily get a 1TB or more external for next to nothing these days. And as everyone has said pretty much the only big games are the exclusives and a few of the cross platform games. So no, the size of a few games doesn't matter at all for people.
