Except you're contradicting yourself there.

You're best off waiting anyway who knows what might come along for cheaper prices.

i wonder if sony have called a manhunt yet to try and track down whoever leaked their SDK

haha, that was quick.
Question is, Do they work?

 

[Bladexdsl]

link doesnt work

 

[Thoob]

Here's a working link.

EDIT: Thoob beat me to it...

I wonder if this clone works, because for $20-40 I'll get one if it DOES work.

And by working, I want it to work with the exact PS Jailbreak software, so if the manufacturer abandons it, it may still have life

It sounds like Bushing is working on a cheaper (or if possible free) method of doing this as well. It looks like they're having pretty good success at the moment. What I'm going to do is wait a few weeks after this is released, being careful not to update my PS3, and see if they can figure out a cheaper option. I really think these should only cost $5-10 to make, so selling them for $140 is outrageous. That way if I wait, I can instead use that money to upgrade to a bigger hard drive!

Smart. Didn't think of that

I like the modchip so far, maybe some people find a way to flash a custom firmware on it like with the PSP.
then you don't have to eject asap when starting, and don't have to reset for every game.

Feel sorry for everyone who pre ordered and already paid for the 120$ one

Patience is a damn virtue, there is probably even bound to better ones coming soon, just gotta wait.

lol EPIC FAIL hhahaha *crys

 

[Bladexdsl]

hahaha yep patience grasshopper!

i found it quite ironic how the PS jailbreak team even warned about cheap Chinese knockoffs

well you guys knocked off sony and somehow got their SDK, i think its jsut as fair for others to knock off your products i suppose

fact lies in one thing, 100+$ price tag on something that is essentially "stolen" is just a damn scam.

 

[Bladexdsl]

all hacks should be free anyway like the wii!

Well, did anyone pay close attention to the pics of the unwrapped PS Jailbreak? The soldering job on those things looks like it was done by a five year old. It looks horrible. Globs of solder everywhere with cold solder joints. The PS Jailbreaks are not made in an all machine factory. Quite frankly, they are probably built by young Chinese children in sweat shops. Really take a moment to examine the pics, it's kinda sad.

As someone else said, why worry about clones when this PS Jailbreak is just a clone of what sony officially uses in their repair centers. So by that means, everything available to consumers is a clone. I'd rather by a clone of a clone. There can not be any difference between the "real" PS Jailbreak and a clone of it as long as it starts the PS3 in debug mode. It either works or doesn't. There is not middle ground or it "kinda working". If it does not start the PS3 in debug mode then it is faulty. It can not start it in half debug mode or anything. So I do not see why anyone would not want a clone (which is a clone of a clone of the original in the sony repair facility). There is no other function to this device. It is strictly for starting the PS3 in debug/dev mode. It does not do a single thing else. It's quite freaking simple.

Damn right. sad thing is, if it was just a little cheaper, I would have. Guess that's what they get for being greedy.
