PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[Sportsmaniac1322]

Does anyone know why this is so expensive? I mean $140 for a USB stick? It doesn't seem right.

Hire? I've never heard anyone use that word like that before.

Hire means to rent. You hite a DvD Movie from teh Video Store is the same as saying you go to the local video store and RENT and DvD Movie. A perfectly legal thing to do.

Yeah, I got it. I am not retarded. I've never heard anyone use "hire" in place of "rent" before.

Us crazy Americans...

Dev team trying to make as much as possible before Sony blocks out the device with a firmware update.

I heard somewhere that this device makes it possible to block Sony's updates, is that true?

that may be possible but the repercussions are not being able to connect to the PSN and in the immediate future play latest games though that can possibly be fixed with PS Jailbreak firmware update.

If that's the case then I don't really care. I never use my PS3's online function, that's what my Xbox is for. PS3 is just for Blu-Rays and single player games, so I'm fine with getting banned from online services

Hey Sportsmaniac we havent talked in a while how are you? Yeah I dont care about going online either since I dont play against anyone, heck I dont even know anyone with a PS3 to play against LOL..I am going to purchase an internal hard drive..640 gig since apparently with the 4gig limit getting an external one is out of the question..I Just wonder, if we put games on an internal drive, can we update the games like we do with games off of a disc

you've never - in your life heard the word "hire"?

Also for the people saying shoppsjailbreak is a scam, it's a new site that's coming out, sites run by foreign people usually have less-than-steller support and a lot of typos in the english (look at the acekard and supercard teams/sites, they're regarded as the best DS flash carts, but can't make a proper english sentence to save their life).

I'm going to wait until I see a scam before I call a scam. Right now it's just your standard site-for-a-single-product run by foreign guys cashing in on a new and hyped product.

I'd think you could, since it just emulates the disk drive (at least from my understanding). And I also thought it split the files, so most games should work on external. Of course this is all speculation since none of us have actually tested this thing!

they are supposedly the USA distributor. Any decent person in the USA would know a spec of English and proper design before opening a site for this chip. Even I could design a better site if they were legit. Its just formatted in such as scam-style that its hard not to shout scam at it. The guy claiming to be the admin gave garbage answers as to why the site has testimonials before it even came out. He made 6 posts and never came back.

Scam or not, I wouldn't buy from them anyways. They're untested and most likely a VERY small distributor, so I'd go with a trusted, well-known site that we know won't rip you off. They could be perfectly safe and I wouldn't buy from them. Just go with one of the big sites and you'll be fine.

1. It's probably run by some asian guy who knows barely any english.
2. It's hardly new, it was registered in like June before PS Jailbreak, which if you ask me, is even more sketchy.
3. The testimonials are obviously fake as they all mention similar points just in a different use of words, except for the last two that pretty much phrase it exactly the same. They all make sure to mention the USB plug and play is easy, which come on, any lay person is not going to do that in that sort of a manner.
4. There is no actual picture of the product on their site, bar the shitty photoshops from PSjailbreak.com.

and proper designYou really, REALLY need to get out of the house sometime.

Living in the US does not instantly grant you a perfect command of the english language, nor does it give you web design skills. Just look at myspace.

before opening a site for this chip.http://www.acekard.com/
http://eng.supercard.sc/

Two official sites for widely-regarded-as-great cards, not scams at all... but as you can see their english is far worse than the shoppsjailbreak guys.
acekardSome AK2 will have black screen when run some certain games and it's caused by A chip which was used in a different batch. This special version had made compatibled with it.

supercard

This feature is selected by the user to open, choose the interface in the start menu, select System Settings option.

Even I could design a better site if they were legit. Its just formatted in such as scam-style that its hard not to shout scam at it.The Acekard's site... or better yet, one of the many R4-clone sites, which all look almost exactly alike! However, they do sell actual IRL R4 clones that actually work.

The guy claiming to be the admin gave garbage answers as to why the site has testimonials before it even came out. He made 6 posts and never came back.Fake testimonials is bad, but then again clone R4 sites have them as well, and the products they sell are real and work. As for not coming, back, it's called "a job", or "a life", or "any of the hundreds of things you need to do to run a business other than post on a random forum thread".


And before anybody mentions "paypal", shoptemp.com doesn't use it.

Not really.

Andrew: So, I heard you're making this PS3 jailbreak device?
Bart: Yeah, I've figured it out and am doing a bunch of setup in order to get them made, I'll just call it "ps jailbreak" and it'll be ready in a few months.
Andrew: Oh, so you'll have a factory making them after you finish the design and submit it to them and such?
Bart: Yeah.
Andrew: *goes off to register the domain name ahead of time because you can get a .com for $15*

Or something like that.

When I get mine, I am going to get it from modchipcentral.com since that site is legit..My concerns involve the games that dont seem to work..its like playing a guessing game, some games work and some games dont, that is a huge gamble to play for 130 bucks..so I dont know if the issues with the games NOT working, such as having black screens or just not working at all have to deal with the files not being put on the internal drive or is something else going on..if its as simple is the games HAVE to all be put on the internal drive to work fine, I will go out and get me a HUGE internal drive..but if its something more complicated then that I want to know beforehand so I dont cough up 130 bucks which turns into a huge waste of money

 

[Bladexdsl]

wait for a compatibility list to be made than

 

[raiderscrusade]

I wonder how much the distributors pay per USB....

 

[Aman27deep]

According to an unofficial FAQ,

Certain games like FIFA 10 do NOT work.

I read this in a previous post in this thread, too.

I'm gutted, hopefully FIFA 11 will work, though.

Well I just hope you're not one of those crazy tin hats that think Sony made it
