Now it seems that there is another one called ps3key .
All they want is your e-mail address so they can spam the fuck out of it

I don´t think so. I typed in my e-mail adress, and it says its invalid

Doesn't mean they haven't captured it. Probably comes up as invalid so you try another one that they can harvest.

I put in two gmail addresses that I don't use - and yes, they both said it was invalid. Whatever you do, DO NOT enter your good email addresses in it!!

@ Quincy: Good plan, let us know how things go!!
Ghehe I will. 1st thing I will do is make a picture(or more lol) of it if it ever does arive

edit: Off to bed, will react again tomorrow, hell maybe its in tomorrow but I doubt that.

Elotrolado is reporting from it's tests that game updates don't work at all on backed up games. If they're already on the system, the game won't boot.

Any games that were buggy before the first patch are going to be a bitch now. Hopefully that can be worked around in the future.

That's fine, just don't update the game..Not everyone has wireless connection for their PS3 so not everyone can update games, when it asks to update the game can we just press NO and continue backing up the game?

that could be a good thing or a bad thing, if cheats do happen on the ps3 i want the device to disable updates so for me it's a good thing, however some games don't work unless you update the game so it could be a bad thing.

Exactly. This could be a way for publishers to thwart the device even if Sony doesn't release a firmware update. Release the game utterly broken and require an online update. That way you can't use the usb dongle to play the game even if it's offline. Not sure how viable that is in reality, but it's certainly a path publishers could take to protect their games.

I don't think I'm going to buy the device (it seems pretty expensive and basic as is) but I was wondering how exactly is the compatibility for the device and the games that get installed to the HDD?

I assume all games that read from the disc AND the HDD are incompatible through the Backup Manager?

so, would it be okay to grab the 3.41 update from the official sony site?
It wouldn't make sense for alterations to be made to the firmware, right?


Yeah it should be ok to get it.

From what I've read the current device is optimized for 3.41. so IF you're interested in updating then doing so now is probably the best bet.

I'd think someone should be able to find a workaround for the update problem. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to fix, although I'm saying this blindly. If they cant fix it, though, that's pretty much a deal breaker. Some games come really glitchy where updates are needed, and if I can't get the updates then I'll just stick to buying retail...

Yeah the update issue will be a problem..but not everyones PS3 has access to the Internet so how do those people snatch an update..Some games require an update but I know that when I download Wii games and even XBOX 360 games they probably have updates on them but I remove the ones for the Wii and for the XBOX who knows, I dont have XBOX live anymore anyway so Im not even sure if those have updates. I dont really mind if I cant get updates but it would depend if the game required one in order to play it properly or not..but considering not everyone has wireless access in order to download updates, I doubt Sony does it..I think the worst thing they do is ban people from the PSN network, just like Microsoft did with XBOX Live..not a huge tragedy

There were no updates for PS2 games (Just Cause 1 needed one, phew what a buggy game), yet many of them were plain brilliant, and most games the games nowdays usually do not require patches and all, but still they release the patches to make it look like they're still "supporting" the Title.

I wonder if they can just remove/replace update files from the game dump? or perhaps the game dump has to be unmodified to run? hemm

So you can't play games that require title updates? Or you can but you have to remove all the updates for the games from the HDD first? If it's the former, LittleBigPlanet will be a pain in the ass.

    The snack that smiles back, Ballsack!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
