The reality of it though is someone still has to create an emulator and well how easy is it going to be to port/create applications for CELL? wacko.gif

Why it would be big and great news :p If only. My old ps2's dvd drive went out long ago, luckily its the old fat style, so modding it was easy. But I have games that are on DVD and unplayable that I would love to play.

no not "hacked" some one leaked the service Jig thats in the service centers, and have made a device for sale

to the public. no hacking has been done and the security remains intact.

this device just puts the ps3 into a service mode that some one wrote a custom loader for from the leaked SDK

Eurogamers thoughts

Bearing in mind that PSJailbreak is retailing for upwards of $130, there's a very strong possibility that this may well be the most expensive and short-lived hack ever made, and factoring in the simplicity of the hardware, the very high price seems almost reminiscent of a smash-and-grab raid on users intent on piracy no matter what the cost. The makers of PSJailbreak are charging so high a price because the window of opportunity in terms of exclusivity and the longevity of the hack itself is potentially very small.

In terms of the make-up of the dongle itself, pictures posted online of the internals show a basic USB device - what looks like an innocuous 48-pin microcontroller chip on the tiny PCB and not much else. It's quite astonishing to believe that the makers are asking for a colossal $130+ for such a tiny piece of tech, and it's almost certain to be reverse-engineered, ripped off and duplicated by the Chinese mass-suppliers within days of hitting the market.

Most likely true.

even though security isnt actually broken, surely from this they can work from the inside out?

Exactly. There's the homebrew launcher, so once people learn to code for the Cell then there will be some interesting things on that front.

looks like we got something worth while :laugh:

Wow. It's only a matter of time before others figure out other options as well. I am glad I PAY and SUPPORT the developers of our games on ALL consoles.

Great video :)

+1

Exactly. Thats the point and the main reason why Sony will have trouble blocking this "movement". Now, new exploits will be discovered.

Right now the word is WAIT for a new exploit, either thru hardware or software.

The strange is that there are few reports on it being hacked. Im guessing most sites want a "hands on" confirmation to prove that this works (normal and thats what Id want too)

PS Jailbreak Team's site just crashed. They report that they hope to get it fixed in the next 12 hours.

Either

1: Too much traffic

2: They disappear like most of these that say they hacked the PS3

3: Sony

I hope this is true, my PS3 is proof that downloading games and using they backups can be used for good, since my laser is broke I wont be able to make backups :( or play the games with the disks...

      Supposedly it's fixed on Series consoles: https://support.forza.net/hc/e...e-Issues-in-Forza-Horizon-6 This game is so much better than FH5, and it's all because of the map. It's diverse, big, and so much to see and do. I've bought every single Forza Motorsport and Horizon game, and by far my least played is FH5 at 100 hours, followed by the latest Motorsport. They've finally made a good one with FH6

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
