[Gh0sti]

[Bladexdsl]

[zant]

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

that sucks big time. I was hoping to grab one

Maybe ModChipCentral can dish them out quick enough before this gets caught up in North America.

Maybe now we can get them for FREE, as its illegal to sell them

shame, this product would have been Legen-wait for it-Dairy!

 

[patz]

I think you still can get it from China, Hong Kong, or some east Asian countries.

Sony just stopped two australian stores with a court order.

quantronics and ozmodchips cancelled all shipments.

 

[mehrab2603]

relax.sony won't be able to stop those chinese dealers.just ship them from china.but i feel sad for ozmodchips.they even mortgaged their house to order extra units.

This is going to be made into a new movie: "Sony vs. The Hackers"

guys, no offense to MrDiesel, but lets wait for an official german translation. MrDiesel said his might not make sense (which i took as may not be 100% accurate), so it might be saying the ps3 would need hardware to block it.

@djbubba2002:
Here is my attempt on translating the German article. My primary language, which is Dutch, is closely related to German. But still, German is very hard! As I don't quite understand what they are talking about, it can be that my translation doesn't make any sense.


I'm sure of the "not updateable" part.

Übrigens ist PSJailbreak NICHT updatebar. Das erwähnte Update-Feature lässt sich, wenn überhaupt, nur mit zusätzlicher Hardware realisieren.

This literally means
QUOTE

Btw, the PSJailbreak is NOT updateable. The above update feature can only be with extra hardware, or not at all.

oh ok. i retract my statement then

 

[MrDiesel]

For those who want proper translation of the earlier mentioned article, here it is:

I just read this.

Well well, Sony may have thwarted sellers of the PSJailbreak, but it looks like the damage has already been done. The guys at X3jailbreak have been true to their word and cloned PSJailbreak successfully. A third party trusted website has confirmed this and posted pics of a load of the clone. Wholesale will apparently commence next week and the final retail price is set for $50-$60.

 

[alucard77]

The problem I have with the clones, is that they are actually clones. That is great and dandy that I can get it at half the price, but is it being dollar wise, pound foolish?

What updates will the X3jailbreak team provide once Sony updates its protection? How can we be certain they will? Who the F is x3jailbreak anyway?

I would recommend that everyone wait. We have no idea how reputable any of these companies are. The original company may at least provide updates. Not sure how a clone company can provide updates when the main company is being sued? So there may be no updates.

If you are happy with all of the games already out for the PS3, then I would recommend that you buy this. If you want this to be "future proof" or as close to it as possible, then wait.

 

[MrDiesel]

They say that the PSJailbreak can't be updated except with extra hardware, so why would it make any difference? PSJailbreak can't update, x3jailbreak either.

I don't see why people think that the JailBreak is what has to be updated considering that the Backup Manager is what loads the games. All the PSJailbreak does it put it into debug mode right? If that is the case, then that's all it needs to do. What needs to be updated is the Backup Manager, not the PSJailbreak but correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[alucard77]

That is yet to be seen. I have heard that the new units were able to be upgraded. It is all heirsay anyway.

But who do you trust more, the guy who made the exploit or the guy who copied the exploit? The guy who made the exploit has the knowledge to change it. The guy who copied it does not, since he only copied it.

It's like school. 2 guys get a 95 on test. One guy cheated off of the other guy. Do you think the guy who cheated is just as smart as the guy who didn't cheat? If these were medical students, who would you trust to operate on you, the guy who cheated, or the guy who did it fair and square?

As was said on the first page...
QUOTE(mehrab2603 @ Aug 19 2010, 12:15 AM) so is sony going to disable usb ports now?

Sony might take some drastic steps against this.

After all, they removed OtherOS, stopped pandora batteries from being a working way to save a brick, and had that whole fiasco where their music CDs installed rootkits on people's computers to control them.
