Geohot Has Hacked The Playstation 3

[FAST6191]

Blue-K has the idea but I thought I would also mention PS3 games are not far off 360 games in terms of sizes: http://www.abgx.net/filename/?ch=9 * and a similar story can be told for modern PC games. It is not like those have any real problems and if indeed it is full access then rips are not impossible and compression is also a possibility, I hear often of devs using uncompressed audio, video and textures which amuses me almost as much as the six types of "uncompressed audio" crowd.

*talk is that most (all?) of these rips lack a certain something that would be necessary for them to run. My pity to whoever has to go down this route.

Anyways...I only want one thing, and then I'll definietly buy a PS3...XBMC. Yeah, I know it was first an XBox-Media Center, but now it's Multiplatform, so why not also make one for the PS3 if possible

? This would be heaven...simply imagine it...gosh...

i would wet myself if XBMC was ported to the PS3 i can retire my old xbox and use a better pad too

How is that even going to work?
Writable Blu-rays are very expensive, downloading blu-rays would take very long, etc.

the first sign of a hack and noobs are already asking for ps3 isos

holyshittt sounds good but what exactly can he do now?

holyshittt sounds good but what exactly can he do now?

Just about anything since he has total control of the memory system and the processor.

Does this include the RSX? Can he open up RSX access in Linux?

If this can unlock the GPU while using Linux, I may end up "borrowing" my brother's PS3 a lot in the future.

Sorry to be a skeptic, but i'll believe it when it becomes publicly accessible. I got my hopes up for that mod chip that looked totally legit too, but then the website turned into a link farm once the "release date" hit.

We don't know if this is trustworthy

This is George Hotz we're talking about here you know.

Awesome. I can't wait. He didn't say if it is going to be hack for Phat or Slim, did he ?

Presumably it'll work for both, unless it's something to do with the Hardware only found in the Phat or a Linux-Related hack.
Other than that,
FUCK YES!

14MB/s, a Game is around 40 GB

40x1024=40960 MB:14=2926 Seconds:60=48 Min. Pretty fast, huh?

Internet speed is given in megabits per second (Mb/s) which is an 8th of a megabyte (MB) if you get your internet in megabytes per second you're amazing

8x40x1024=327680 Mb / 14 = 23405.7 Seconds / 60 = 390 minutes = 6.5 hours assuming you get full download speed all the time and even then 14Mb/s is very fast internet.

After he has "sorted" the PS3, I hope he goes to the Xbox360 so people who lost the ability to do the JTAG exploit has a new alternative.

 

[Advi]

Damn dude, good going.

 

[geedub]

Awesome

The only reason I bought a PS2 was because it was hackable, I hope he succeeds in his endeavors.

ZOMG, I would never be able to download any PS3 game, not even a 20 GB one. Belgian internet sucks so hard, I can only download 15GB in a month....

Assuming your math is correct, my internet is only 1meg (I'm getting 6 or 8 megs soon though), ATM it would take me 91 hours to download a PS3 game, or 3.79 days (3 days, ~19 hours). LOL.

 

[dilav]

my cable internet sucks here, i get capped at after i download around 60GB. I got the 10 meg package. after about 60GB, the net is slooooowwwwww

n e way, glad something is done with the ps3, cant wait to see some brews, hope the slim is kinda similar for hacking too. lol (might need to pick up a ps3 soon)

Congratz to geohot

If you're questioning the fact that internet is given in Mb/s to make it sound bigger then I shall say that it is to my knowledge but its hard to tell from your wording.

Basically: PS3 games are so big that there's no point in downloading cause it will take you all year.
