PS3 finally hacked?


Recommended Posts

In fact to deliver it to North West England will cost £91.46. I'm at the checkout page...maybe I could go halves with my parents if I get a good result from my French GCSE next week!

I'd hold of buying it tbh, Sony will most likely patch this and it will be rendered useless

It has a firmware disabler. And anyway, I do have a 360 for LIVE...and one for non-LIVE...: p

I'm sure someone like Datel will end up copying it anyway and offering it for ?50.

If you care about your trophies (yes some people do :p) remember PS3 drives aren't machine exchangeable.

If this news turns out to be true, it?s the nightmare scenario Sony has been dreading. After thousands of experiments carried out by hackers around the globe, has the Playstation 3 finally been hacked?

After years avoiding what some might feel is the inevitable, if videos are to be believed all signs are pointing to Sony?s flagship console being cracked wide open.

Exactly what is that device in the PS3′s USB socket? You?ll have to go to psjailbreak.com to find out, but currently the site is down. In the meantime, check out the videos below.

OzModChips is a pretty cool store. I have been to their place, to get my xbox 360 jtagged and to get my friends wii modded, very good service. So although I am still a little skeptical about this whole usb dongle thing, I am quite excited because the videos are actually from them, as they are well known in Australia and I don't think they would put their brand name on stake for something silly.

Test PS3s look like this by the way

Once they show it with a Slim I'll believe more (easy to hide test above - the PS3 cover can be slid off easily).

In case no one knows test PS3s can have games installed to the hard drive.

guess what jail breaking os not illegal in the US anymore.

good news hope it works.

This is not jailbreaking and has nothing to do with jailbreaking.

Could still be a fake. inFamous can be downloaded from the PS store.

Also parts of the video suddenly go "night dark"

What I would like to see:

0: Put a ****ing huge light on the scene with the camera still showing the guy doing all this, the PS3 and the TV

1: Show us that the PS3 is empty with no disc inside.

2: Turn off the PS3

3: Turn on the PS3 using the method of switch then eject button showing the green LED

4: Show us a original PS3 disc. Scratch the cover, twist it, turn it, etc to show that it is legit.

5: Insert it in the PS3

6: Show us that it has been loaded like normal

7: Access the Backup Manager

8: Back it up

9: Eject the disc

10: Do 2

11: Do 3

12: Access the Backup Manager and load the game that was just backed up.

13: Play.

This is the only 100% way to show. Videos for now have been.......fishy.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
