Tech Star Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Merged Topics Shouldn't this remain in the Sony console discussion? Well I personally can't imagine losing PSN or being banned for homebrew. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 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? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Shouldn't this remain in the Sony console discussion? Well I personally can't imagine losing PSN or being banned for homebrew. :/ PSN is free :/ People lost their paid live sub for backups so I'm sure lots of people will do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intersect Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 20, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 20, 2010 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.

Livin in a box Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asusmc Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofkW5VCJ2ic Great video :) even though security isnt actually broken, surely from this they can work from the inside out? +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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin in a box Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 They're 100% genuine. It's just really expensive, and they already know they have competition- they're pleading with customers to buy from them because they give full warranty and support.
