Sony Obtains Ban On Ps3 Hack Chip ::to Play Pirated Discs by Mobinga: 1:08am On Aug 29, 2010 |
Sony has won a temporary ban to prevent Australian distributors selling a hardware hack for the PlayStation 3 (PS3). The PS3Jailbreak "dongle" allows gamers to play homemade and pirated games on the game's console. The ban prevents OzModChips, Mod Supplier and Quantronics from importing, distributing or selling the device. Sony has until August 31 to makes its case to the court for a permanent ban. If it fails, the chips could go on sale on 1 September. The firm declined to comment on the proceedings. The Australian distributors could not be reached. The court order also gives Sony control of all of the dongles in the firms' possession and allows the electronics giant to test the devices - including "destructive analysis" - to see how they work. Homebrew games PS3Jailbreak is a dongle containing software that allows users to save games to the console's hard drive. It is the first product to crack the security on the PS3. It was met with scepticism when videos of the device - posted by OzModChips - first appeared online in early August. At the time, a spokesperson for Console Pro, another distributor based in the Netherlands, told BBC News the "dongle converts a retail unit into a dev unit". Dev units are used by developers to test code for the machine. "Dev mode means it will run any - even unsigned - code," said the spokesperson. "Using a simple backup maker or player software, you can play backed-up [saved] games without the actual disc being in the PS3." The legality of these products - commonly called modchips - differs by country. In Australia they are legal, whilst in the UK a recent court case brought by Nintendo said that "game copiers" were illegal to import, advertise or sell. Proponents of modchips say they are the only way to play homemade games, known as "homebrews". It is not known whether distributors in other countries have been served similar notices. But, a spokesperson for Console Pro told BBC News in the wake of Friday's ban that the firm had "not heard anything from Sony or any lawyer or court yet". "I really doubt Sony has grounds to ban this dongle." |

@Mobinga You got the article from BBC website. I just read it today. But I don't think there are pirated PS3 discs at the moment. @MRbrownJAY aka MRdownload How far now?? |
Re: Sony Obtains Ban On Ps3 Hack Chip ::to Play Pirated Discs by Mobinga: 6:17pm On Aug 30, 2010 |
obinna5000: Yeah, but once the chip goes for sale, the pirated discs go for sale too |

obinna5000: good! yeah the internet can make people save on a lot of money oh! dont know how much games cost anywhere else but here the good titles go for $50-$60each while if that chip was legal and working, i could get the games for free (just the price of a blank dvd) |

Guys don't let us be too happy yet. With the constant forced firmware upgrade, the usb chip may stop working. Second, I hope the chip being a usb will not make Sony to detect your PS3 is modified while the USB is removed. I hope it works like a plug and play device. lastly, for about $160, I don't think that chip is cheap, let them bring it down to about $60. Everybody can get it then. One more thing, remember that you will not use a blank dvd to play the PS3 games, but a blank blu-ray disc. Except you get a very cheap one, the prices start from $6.00. With the game on it, PS3 games may still cost about N1500 in Nigeria. |

Frizy:Dude, first of all the usb jailbreak disables firmware updates on the ps3 system, Secondly, We won't play them on disks of any kind, we will play them either from the ps3's hard drive or from an external HDD. Thirdly, Sony will only detect it that you are trying to play the backed up game when logged in 1 Like |

Let them make this chip available already, court go judge later! This is outrageous. I'd already spent cool 22k on 2 crappy games I don't like, it's about time someone starts answering my PS3-rical prayers, Go Pirates!!!! |

If you can find an Ipod mini or certain Ipods you can do the hack yourself which is a lot cheaper. If you guys can chill a bit you willl be able to softmodd your PS3 just like Wii courtesy of XMB Glitch. |

I should of done my research before I purchased the projector on being able to hook up my ps3. Been doing a lot of research on the possibilities of connecting both devices, but I just don't understand all the electrical terms and different kind of cables. With the technology now I'm sure there is a way to hook up my ps3 to the projector. I just want to be ready and hook up when the projector arrives. Thanks! cheap dstt m3 cardps3 bluetooth keyboard |
