Playstation 3 Jailbreak: Impact In Nigeria by Mobinga: 1:45am On Feb 26, 2011 |
The development over the past few days relating to the hacking of the PS3 (PlayStation 3) and the subsequent release of a commercially available plug and play option to the public is a game changer. Simply put gamers who use this add-on will not need to own a Game CD to play it. Simply borrow install, return the CD and play the game from your hard drive. We are yet to comprehend the magnitude of the change this one break will make in the gaming industry. First, we now KNOW that the PlayStation 3 or any other technology is very hackable… very Hackable. http://gnn.com.ng/2010/08/25/playstation-3-jailbreaker-impact-in-nigerian/ Awesome Article |

OK lets get academic with this jailbreak . . . From the article "4. The New (western styled) video game retailers, who are dependent on PS3 sales becuase of its “unbreakable security”: Replay NG, Omagames and Kalahari games (plus some new Project GX guys that were just about to commence) might suffer greatly from this development. The truth is this might spell the death of this legit sector trying to find its path." I posit that the jailbreak will be of minimal impact on the sales of the game sellers listed above. I say this because the jailbreak for it to be used successfully - i.e. to be enjoyed - will require a large (or decent) selection of games, something that goes beyond the collection of the neighborhood boys, something that only the game sellers have. True, the jailbreak frees gamers from the constraint of playing games with the physical discs present in their consoles, but the gamers still have to 'acquire' the discs to copy them - at least the first lenders still need to. There is still a vibrant used games market which I believe the mentioned retailers have a part in. The jail-breakers will need this market to thrive because it will be the best source to stock up ones library/collection. "We will have spin-offs and Nigerian versions of the flash-drive hack. Trust Alaba. " Really? I wonder what the Nigerian version of the jailbreak can possibly be. |

Bawss1: Wrong on all counts. First of all you don't need the dongle anymore. Now all it takes is 25 mins and the traders in Alaba will hack your PS3 for you in no time Secondly, all the major new games are there. As we speak, people are plunking down 1000 naira for KillZone 3 and Dead Space 2. Marvel vs Capcom 3 is a 3GB download, can easily be downloaded in 2 days with a fast Starcomms connection. The jailbreak will be of minimal impact to Sony's bottom line anyway. Using it means no PSN access, something many gamers require. The Nigerian game market is pretty negligible anyway. I have little sympathy for these game retailers in Nigeria , selling $60 games for 16,000 naira. 1 Like |

So much for being academic with this My whole postulation was based on the assumption that physical copies of the games has to be sourced (from game retailers) to stock up ones library, I totally overlooked the internet. Theory fail. My bad |

^^^ You haven't said anything about the jailbreak's impact in Nigeria. |

While the nigerian market is negligible for game companies, I would not like that to be always the case. However, because the rampant piracy deluging our entertainment industry, it seems that may be the case for a while. Hopefully things will get better in future. |

i'd really like to Jail Break but after reading stuffs like if i upgrade my CFW with an OFW at any point that my ps3 will crash and obviously i intend playing some games in future so i might be required to install some firmware to play some ,am kinda holding back on the hacking stuff till am sure there'll be constant updates to the CFW version in the future. |
Re: Playstation 3 Jailbreak: Impact In Nigeria by ritchboy(m): 10:56am On Apr 23, 2011 |
^^ As long as you switch back to OFW 3.55 before you upgrade, there's no risk. Just don't go from CFW 3.55 to OFW 3.56/3.60, or any future releases. |
