PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[Aman27deep]

It is really costly, but if this things work, expect cheap 15$ chinese copies within the next 3 months.

If they think I'm paying £100 for something that could get bricked then they've got another thing coming.

except they've already said it's updatable, meaning that as long as the team continue support for the product then it'll work forever.
besides, £100 is sod all... that's the price of 2 new games in the UK.

Gosh. I'm late to the party!

This is definitely a landmark advancement for the exploitation of the PS3. And it popped up right out of the blue, too!

It reeks of "first of its kind" on account of all the potentially easy obsolescence of it (one update and it's a paperweight), but it's certainly an amazing little thing indeed!

EDIT: Only after posting this did I realize that I just basically summarized what everyone in this topic has been saying. Not one of my better contributions...

Both videos of the tests were done on the 'classic' PS3 model -- Where's a video of it being run on the Slim? For all we know the PS3's being used to demo this mod are infact debug units, allowing it to run unsigned code.

Since it's the first announced 'mod' for the PS3, I am just a little skeptical

If its just a USB thing, then this'll be on Torrents very soon.

more than likely the ps3 checks the dongles hardware id's as well, not just files on the drive. atleast one would hope they atleast put that much effort in securing it

Supposedly there's going to be a PS3 Slim video tomorrow.

Where are you buying your games? I can get 4 brand new games for £100. I can't justify spending that much money on something that isn't guaranteed to be updated forever. I don't want it to turn into an R4 and wait forever for a developer to decide to start working on it.

It looks exactly the same as the current model.
Oh wait I get, it's me being an idiot today lol.

this ps3 modchip seems, and I stress seems legit. I would like gbatemp to eventually review it. Also if indeed it costs $150 + then thats a bit pricey for something that requires you to make your own backups.

I'm not so sure of that.. it would cost more to include a wall charging unit with the PS3 than it does a USB cable.. or are we expecting them to hard wire the accessories to the device... a la Famicom v1?

 

[Koyorie]

I think I'm going to wait until after the PS3 has run it's course to buy this. This seems nice, but I'm in no rush to play any PS3 games, so once a product is released after the PS3 stops making games, I'll buy and use that.

You know sometimes it's difficult to know how something will be said when it's just typed.
