PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[Lakerfanalways]

Who here would preorder if it was priced at $50 USD?

Ya kidding..I'd buy it right now if it was that price..I think that price is more reasonable, considering not every game works with this thing, I think if every single present and future game could get backed up on this thing then yeah, 130 bucks would definitely be worth it, it would pay for itself after 3 games, but the way it is now, its just a guessing game, one game might work, another game might which sucks

and on that note what warranty if any does this thing have, in order words if you get a dud you'll have to ship it back, and insure it such a hassle for ~ $150 USD.

Anyone knows if this distributor is legit? http://www.shoppsjailbreak.com/
Thinking about ordering from them since it's in the US and it's cheaper plus faster delivery.The official site lists them as a retailer, and they posted here to back themselves up, but people don't trust them as yet (because of them putting up testimonials before the item is even for sale).

so are people working on compatibility with ISOs?

games downloaded from psn can those be taken from a ps3 and installed on another one?

is CFW possible?That will most likely require people to reverse-engineer parts of the firmware in order to make their own loader. This is simply running of unsigned code and access to debug functions, we are not at that stage yet.

As for the CFW, AFAIK this will not allow it, as everything still runs in user-mode.

This is the first-generation of hacks. We are not at CFW and ISO loading yet.

A whopping $0.08 cheaper

It's nice to see a shop with a sense of humor.

$140, if you ask me they are being greedy. If this were priced more reasonably, they would sell so many. As it is, people will just wait for the clones.

Sell at $140, then when the clones come out sell low, but still above the clone price, and let people know it's the original and warn them about clones.
Sounds like cash flow to me.

I totally would!

 

[smash_brew]

I would wait for the cheap knockoffs to show up. Especially since sony is just going to block it with a firmware update within a few weeks anyway.

 

[DigitalDeviant]

Any word on sony's reaction yet?

I want the real deal , i dont want no fake clone shit ... i preorder mine already ..

Sorry if you didn't want the fake clone shit, you shouldn't have preordered.

If you want the real deal why don't you talk to Sony.

 

[Justin121994]

lol. dudeonline...
. Well i'm waiting for another good clone not the current clone as you say..
or cheaper price because of money.
Who here has money to throw.. not me...
I'd preorder like know if i had money to spend on it...
That's pretty much the only reason I'm getting a clone...
yupyupyup.

 

[delta123]

i do not mind spending the 170AUD on the thing. thats less than two new games in australia. this thing does not really pay for itself but it sort of does at the same time. especailly if you use the free rental system that is EBGames.

Huh?

Anyways, I won't be getting this yet. I will wait and see how it turns out. I don't want to buy it and use it for a week and then Sony block it. BTW I think that in a few months there will be a much better revision of the dongle/software. I'd rather wait till the PS3 modding/homebrew scene is mature enough to bring out emu's and iso loaders (if that is possible).

In saying that, if a clone does come out at a reasonable price, I don't think I could resist.

@Delta123- That's the only thing EB Games is good for!!!

Meaning the PS Jailbreak IS the "fake clone shit". The real deal is the official Sony JIG, so not buying a "clone" for the sake of it being a clone is pretty ridiculous.

 

[tk_saturn]

I doubt it even cost 30 bucks to manufacture.... Much less 100..

Have you seen the price of those R4 1:1 clone carts? From the images there isn't much to the device. I'd imagine it would cost less than $5 to make in a cheapo Chinese factory.

Who ever thinks http://www.shoppsjailbreak.com/ is the real website is a freaking idiot.

Yeah I seen those r4 clones....
Remember flash carts cost shitloads..
Now there dirt cheap.

the payment method isn't PCI-DSS compliant so you would want to avoid it anyway.

what security is "PCI-DSS" never heard of that before.

It's required by the 5 Major Card brands, Visa, MasterCard, JCB, Dinners and I think CUP. it's not security but "basic" procedures that the merchant to follow, need a finish a test and a vulnurabilty scan (if internet account) to see if they are doing at least the "minimal" things to protect customer data.

just call any of those card brands on their phone number and they can tell you if the place is compliant.

thank you for the heads up. So if a site doesn't offer paypal I should look for these security standards?

pretty much, there was another name for PCI by a similar security counsil, but I forgot their name. It sounds similar though...I think it was PSS or something. the PCI thing is a world wide thing where VISA/MC/JCB etc works at; i know it's heavily regulated in USA, Canada, China, Taiwan. Japan is getting there, not sure of Europe. either way, by having this certificiate, there's at least the the assurance of they are doing the minimal things to protect customer data (doesn't mean it's bullet proof though of course but less likely a goof), which is very important in this time of age. FYI, if they use PayPal or Apriva (which they don't), you should be safe. Just make sure you don't send any business transaction as "gift" and always send as "payment" even if you have to pay for the 3% surcharge. at least you can get a Chargeback Dispute going through them if something happens.
