Has The PS3 Finally Been Hacked?
By 
Most consoles tend to get modded fairly quickly post launch but Sony’s PlayStation 3 has stood tall and proud against hackers - until now. Thanks to a USB device called the PS Jailbreak, PlayStation 3 users can now copy games onto an internal or external hard drive and play them directly off the GUI. This would most likely become the gateway to the PS3 becoming fully modded.
A quick glance at PS Jailbreak’s official site sheds some light on this product and here’s a quick summary:
- PS Jailbreak is a USB plug and play solution that installs in seconds, keeping your valid warranty seal in tact.
- Compatible with all production models FAT and SLIM. Supports all regions: USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA
- PS Jailbreak disables forced software updates and will never brick your console.
- Supports all games (it does not allow backups of bluray movies , dvd movies , or past consoles games)
- Backup games to your internal hard drive or external hard drive through USB, and boot directly off GUI. Eliminating the need for expensive blueray burners and costly blank media.
- Play backups off your hard drives 2x as fast as off the blueray drive. This eliminates lags and glitches to provide you with smoother game play.
- Open up your console to a new generation of homebrew applications. Load homebrew apps/games off any USB hard drive/flash drive.
- Fully updatable with new features/updates by connecting PS Jailbreak to any computers USB port.
Even though the PS3 Jailbreak has been priced at $150 it has sold out in a matter of three days but the site guarantees new stock soon.
All this has not gone down too well with Sony and according to site PS3hax, Sony has been permanently banning PS3 consoles on which this jailbreak has been detected. I’m guessing this won’t be too much of a problem for pirates who’ve been used to gaming offline for years.
