PS Jailbreak

I know you are not allowed to talk about this type of thing on here but i think if this is really happening we should be able to discuss this without breaking any rules.

www.ozmodchips.com/...

I was talking to my brother about this and its pretty crazy -

what will it mean for the PS3? i remember the days of the PS1, we didnt buy a single game it was just hire and burn same for the PS2 and this kind of thing has pretty much smashed the PSP.

How can Sony kill this? remove the USB? that would cause a major stink

How many of you will get one?

Just want to get your opinions and remember the rules for what you can and cant post!

The ps2 became the "kiddy" machine with the release of the ps3.
but lately the ps3, has been trying to rival the wii. rather than focusing on great content, they have decided to rip out other OS, release the "move " and are travelling down the ps2 path, of games for the 5-15 generation.
one look at the Aus ps store, compared to the US ps store proves this.
Sony need to step up now. or the 360 is gonna run away with the older gamers business. release custom avatars, or if not, imitate the 360's make your own dude avatar. be innovative, don't try and rival the the wii.
There are so many people who love the ps3, and are loyal to it even if it is only for the controller layout. the mafia 2demo for me was a kick in the gut. dropping out graphics on a machine that can surely handle it.
The ps2, with it's lifespan just got better and better. the ps3, is starting to go backwards. (ps plus represents that - $60 a year, for kiddy content)



What was wrong with the ps3? it had 100's of quality rpg's which ps3 has like maybe 1 or 2.

Ps2 was better then ps3 thats for sure.

Damn no backing up blu ray's :(
Mickys right there.. If I had my 360 still I'd have a huge list of great games I could get super cheap.. Alas my list of games I want for the ps3 could be counted on one hand :(

So does this install anything on the PS3, I mean if you used a external harddrive for your backup copies and disconected the dongle and external harddrive when you got online sony couldn't possibly detect it.

It only backs games up atm.

That has never been illegal i don't see why you would get banned?

my disk doesn't work anymore... lol

It leaves it's package files on the ps3. "back up manager"
as long as that is there..... sony could theoretical know it is there.

Please re-read my post about the ps2. I said, it became a kiddy machine, when the ps3 was released. meaning most of the games that kids play were made for the ps2.
Sorry vyma I didn't mean that towards your post. It was more of a thought towards mickys when he said ps2 had more RPGs :)

true yeh i prob should have read more into your post:P

I am aware that this USB does stop force updates so it will continue to work. however..... New games, will require updated firmware before they will run. If you don't update, you won't be able to play the game. (and updating may disable this device, so there goes $160)

Exactly Sony will cover there ass for future games Dead Rising 2 onwards GT5, Fallout NV, COD-BO etc all unplayable with forced firmware so while people will have a great library to choose from they probably won't be able to play the next batch of awesome games =_= .

I don't know how this applies to the ps3, as it is a mod chip, BUT it is not really connected.....

Yeah you can't play backup games without the modchip/dongle running in the USB slot they will probably be able to notice if you go online with it & even the backup manager app might be trackable afterall it is stolen Sony software :S .

You're insinuating that many people don't buy consoles unless they can be hacked/chipped? Don't think so. The price has been the PS3's biggest repellent against sales.


Lol your right Micky all 360 only users will buy one looking for free exclusives & the PS3 will sky rocket in sales this holiday season with Sony likely to do a Microsoft with mass Mac address/PSN bannings X_X
Sorry for double post - PSJailbreak Detectable and Bannable on PSN

While hackers are rejoicing that PS3 security has been penetrated, Sony has another ace up their sleeve. Apparently the use of PS Jailbreak can be detected by Sony, and they can take action against it. While we are all up and excited about PSJailbreak (PSjb), there might be a risk on playing with PSjb on PSN.

According to SKFUand RichDevX, the Backup manager game ID (LAUN-12345) could be logged/recorded by Sony when logged into PSN (when online). This would obviously allow Sony to see who would be using the illegal PSjb/clone and we could very well see ban waves similar to the Xbox 360. Sony does currently ban PSN/consoles that results in the 8002A227 error code. n4g.com/...

Hmm free games or free online? people will buy backup consoles to play older games Sony might see this as a positive they will sell alot more PS3's due to mass console/PSN bannings & people looking for free games [MOG] . Win/win for gamers & company wonder if they leaked the device on purpose? [WTF]
It'd be sweet justice if Sony published a firmware update in a few days, just as everyone receives their USB. (evil)

vyma100 said: technically yes, but the software for the backed up games is still on the hdd..... it depends if sony can look into your ps3 and find out if it is there or not. pretty sure, since they designed the system they can.



Technically yes, U can just play offline & sinc trophies later?
If that where thay case, Would using an external HDD for backed up games work? I mean just unplug the mod chip & external HDD while connecting to internet, then sony cant tell at all?

Yes I find that strange myself how people are saying sales will go up, maybe they will, who knows..

Im looking forward to seeing what the next page brings :P
LOL the biggest joke is that apparantly the jailbreak manufacturer is saying on their website to only buy original and not "cheaper knockoffs". :D

I am sure plenty of honest pirates will prefer to pay 4 times as much to support the original developer of the hack.

Well im sorry Amanda, I didnt do so well in english back in school but from what I can read Mickyt said

"Ps2 was better then ps3 thats for sure"

To me, thats just a complete outrage.

The ps3 has a blu ray player & ps3 games are ALL on blu ray disc's..

How can anyone in their might mind say that a ps2 or even xbox 360 can even compare to a ps3?

Im not saying that xbox is complete rubbish or that ps2 was not good back in the day..

But this is 2010!

God im grumpy this afternoon [Rage]

Can u even name 5 RPG's that u played on ps2 Mickyt?? I didnt think so!!

PS3 pwnz, U live & break that sh!t Michael, so stop being a twit
Cranky bum :)
Who wants to buy in bulk from ModSupplier so it ends up being cheaper?
Of course, there'd be a slight trust issue here amongst members, though...

So you can save $30 by finding & trusting 49 strangers from the internet..

Mickyt would be up for that! Including yourself thats only 48 more people needed!

Also make note of the adress all 49 people & prepare to get Australia Postnzz!!
Unless modsupplier is willing to ship 1 order to 50 different adresses..

No.

So anyway, anyone know if it's just a USB with software loaded on it or a completely new hardware thing?
Does anyone think they are actually out yet? im leaving for China in 11 days and i could bring back a few? are they even from China?

Good way to stop the USB Stick? codes to unlock online features? or a small fee to purchase the code?

Not the first game to do this, Tiger woods 10 already does it among a few others (i think). Its intended to stop people buying second hand games.
