The main features
- USB dongle, easy to plug, no need to open the PS3
- Easy to install, with a smooth GUI
- Can be used on all PS3 : Fat, Slim, US, EU, JP ...
- Disable Sony updates, prevent from bricks
- Support for all PS3 type of games (not BD movies, DVD, and other consoles)
- Direct copy from game to HDD, or USB HDD
- Homebrews support
- Easy to update via PC
Now when they say copy games to the HDD, do you still need the disc to play?
If it doesn't require a mod chip, this could become quite popular.

Since the only thing it copies are PS3 games, and PS3 games are region free, isn't this useless?
yeah, actually. the psp go even lets you connect and use a PS3 controller through bluetooth.but you need a ps3 right? Or can I hook it up via some video cable and bluetooth the controller to it? Cus my PS3 is on the fritz. :\

Apparently there is a ful functioning psp emulator on ps3.
There are scalers you can buy that will blow the picture up and improved the image quality a bit.
Will buy when there's a better version available. :pirate
Also be aware that once PS3 is Jailbroken, dongle cannot be removed or hack un-installed.

What are these?
what about homebrew or non-PS3 backups on it? all I'm seeing now is a way to play PS3 back ups and that isn't interesting.

it also allows unsigned code to be run. NOT USELESS. also, i'm sure there's going to be a way to run downloaded BD dumps as well.

Apparently there is a ful functioning psp emulator on ps3.
There are some days that the site PS3Gen.fr has announced in exclusivity the new creation of Anonymous, which is a porting of an emulator Nintendo DS. Its name is now NDS3, this emulator has improved, so we decided to make a video of the latest draft to show you the progression.
Since the last version, Anonymous had restart porting of the emulator DeSmuME to adapt with the PowerPC architecture of the PlayStation 3. Now, the console is capable of using the CPU successfully to comfortably play 3D games, they were accelerated by 7 times compared to the first version. However, the emulator is still under development and 3D games are not yet optimized to their fullest. We present two games in this video, Yoshi's Island DS and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. To make the most of the gameplay offered by the emulator, we cut the cutscenes.
As you see, the 2D games are very fluid and require almost no more work, Anonymous will now concentrate on the most advanced games to optimize the architecture of the PlayStation 3. The video is available below, we will give you more information, always exclusive, as soon as development progresses.
does this mean that 3.55 will be hackable?
NDS emulation on PS3?
Fantastic! Hopefully Dolphin follows!

Looks like they got PSP keys out of this too. How secure were the 3000 and Go up until now?
It's real, real bad for Sony and the Bluray consortium. AACS keys have leaked before, but in prior situations, they just stopped using the keys that leaked on newer titles and forced people with compromised hardware to either buy a new player or upgrade the software.
Basically, Bluray, which should have been able to keep ahead of being cracked thanks to updateable firmware
To try to put it simply, each BRD has a key that needs to be recognized by the player in order to run it. Each player has a list of valid keys for BRDs and if the disc's key was not in that list, it would not play it. As keys are compromised, they are revoked and newer keys are issued.It's real, real bad for Sony and the Bluray consortium. AACS keys have leaked before, but in prior situations, they just stopped using the keys that leaked on newer titles and forced people with compromised hardware to either buy a new player or upgrade the software.
How did this work? If you bought a newer titles w/ newer keys you'd just be forced to have to sit through an update or you couldn't watch the movie, similar to consoles?Basically, Bluray, which should have been able to keep ahead of being cracked thanks to updateable firmware
Would the older keys still be usable on the older titles even with the update - I'm just trying to wrap my head around this system.
Besides, is there really anything you can do to stop the pirates in the long run?
Claiming linux removal or whatnot made them do it is just a shitty cover for people wanting free stuff.
Geohot publicly declared war, but he was going to do it anyway. The failoverflow people say they did it because of the Linux removal. It may be an excuse, but you have to admit, the timing is rather an interesting coincidence if it had nothing to do with OtherOS getting stripped. Three years of absolutely nothing, then as soon as Linux is yanked, the system is partially cracked within weeks, older firmware totally cracked within months, and the entire doors of the system blown off within a year.
I don't mess with Linux people for that very reason
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-ps3-security-in-tatters
PlayStation 3's internal security scheme is a shambles, with all of its major anti-piracy features failing abysmally. The system is so vulnerable that hackers now have the exact same privileges as Sony in deciding what code can run on the console.
3.41 here (updated from 3.40 for CV)
Don't want to go any higher than that ATM.
Flamenco, 3.55 appldr keys have been posted, and 3.50 stuff has already been decrypted and run on 3.4x
You're going to have to give it some more time Flamenco, there is still no modless loader app. The decrypted stuff is playing on jigged PS3:s so far.

That explains the drastic drop in the quality of your posts.
Kinda seems to me the PS3 as permanent BluRay security goatze seems to me to be a bigger deal than whatever implications it has for the PS3 as gaming console.
if it was so basic then any idiot could have done it and we sure didn't need any sort of super hackers
I doubt these guys are super hackers, rather than programmers who happened to have the time and will to focus on the PS3.

"Basic"? Hehe. Did you watch the CCC presentation? There is very little that is "basic" about this hack, it involved a lot of crazy HW stuff. And these guys aren't just "regular programmers" either, they are pretty damn clever with electronics as well.
isn't the whole hack "LOLZ THE PRIVATE KEY DOESN'T USE ANY RANDOM NUMBER SO WE REVERSE ENGINERED IT!"
i don't have any idea what you need to do to reverse engineering a private key but i seems to understand any monkey could have figured the "doesn't use a random number" part
well gee i'm sorry it's just that these guys made it sounds so easy "SONY SECURITY EPIC FAIL THEY CAN'T EVEN GET A RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR RIGHT!!!1!"

Got prometheus to work on my 6.35 3000.
Gamestop is doing a 50% hardware bonus for systems, so the 3000 nets $105. PSPGo is $99, so I might make that trade tomorrow. The Go looks like it'll be more uncomfortable to play on its own, but with PS3 controller support, I might just leave the thing hooked up to my TV and play it like that.
Once you purchase the PSP go system, getting the emailable game voucher is easy. If you already have a PlayStation®Network account, just sign into your account using your PSP go system or if you are brand new to the PlayStation® family, just register for the Network via your new PSP go system. Once you sign in a game code will be sent to the email address associated with your PlayStation®Network account within 7-10 business days.

hehe yeah
all the monkey had to do was
* get a jailbroken PS3
* HW hack it enough to be able to dump the memory in realtime to figure out the boot process
* write a bootloader which replaces GameOS and supports external scripting from a PC
* write a script for the PPE which asks the secure SPE to decrypt something
* dump this process and reverse engineer the instructions to reveal the command that copies the encrypted file into restricted SPE memspace for decryption
* use this command to buffer overflow the secure memspace to reveal the plaintext SELF for the loader and its AES keys
* look at the SELF and understand its components
* look at the hashed signature in the header, and have enough crypto knowledge to know that it is an ECDSA signature
* compare this signature with a signature for another file and realise that the R in these sigs are constant
* calculate k

Yeah, I mean a lot of my friends who play CoD are already complaining about how the few who have they PS3s jailbroken are already ruining the online mode for them, but now that the hacks are gonna be easier to install and are future proof, prepare for a really crappy online experience on the triple. I just hope we get some decent homebrews out of this.

I was thinking that it would be cool to be able to rip my game discs to the HDD and just play them straight from there, but then I remembered I only own 3 PS3 games so it's not even worth the trouble :lol
Not looking forward to waiting for weeks while a 15gb+ iso DLs so I probably won't bother.

Pretty much. I would be more interested in playing PS1, like PSP.
I'd be more interested in playing PSP games on the triple, honestly. That's all I want out of this.
Desired 'features' from me:
Can you really play PSP games direct on the PS3? That's awesome. I would love that too :D
PSP/PS3 Game decrypter RELEASED !!!! (Includes sources)
That Mathias guys says it should be pretty easy to port the PS3 built-in PSP emulator to PC now :D
Great, I'd love to play the three good PSP games on my PC.

It sucks after the first 25 hrs when you realize it's just gonna be the same shit the rest of the way and new personas don't show up quickly enough which make the awesome combo personas almost impossible to make. Also, the story is nowhere good enough to make you want to keep playing unless you have a fetish for simulated dating.
I loved P3 but I digested it about 2-3 hours per week. Certainly not without its flaws, but it still managed to be better than everything Bioware and Bethesda have put out this millennium.
real talk,persona 3 isn't the best PS2 RPG evah
sorry atlus fanboys :smug
is the voucher still included in new systems, or is that promo over now?
And I liked KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age (a lot in the case of DA). Dragon Age is different in that it is them going back to making a game in the style of their classic rpgs, but more or less describes its worth. I think it is so well regarded because it is them making that type of rpg in this day and age rather than being one of the best rpgs ever. Also, people are praising it more highly now that the sequel's quality is questionable and I guess that makes Dragon Age Origins seem better by comparison? I dunno. They did it with Mass Effect and I'm still baffled when people call it an "incredible rpg" because I'm pretty sure that isn't the same game I played. The one where inventory was literally the same three items with a different number at the end for the entire game, or side quests that took place in identical locations.
well it's not like we can talk about all the great ps3 games we can play now
+1 for the PSP emulation.

For 2 years I was asking for a PSP as my Secret Santa gift here. Instead I got PC j-shmups and flip flops, though I must admit I use the latter daily!
Digital Devil Saga and Devil Summoner 2 are both pretty good.
I mean, probably not as awesome as all that Final Fantasy shit you marinate yourself in, but still pretty good.
it's jailbreak time
open the zip, you know how to install
3.55 only

do not mirror file, link to geohot.com
here is the package from the video
no donations accepted right now, don't get scammed
old homebrew will not work
new homebrew signing tools coming soon...
Backups no longer need backup manager! They can be turned into pkg files and ran directly from hdd !
1) Download and compile latest tools from git.fail0verflow.com Git (old versions of unself produce incorrect ELF)
2) Extract ELF from SELF
3) Hexedit ELF, find and replace dev_bdvd to correct path on dev_hdd0 (not all, but most games require this step)
4) Build NPDRM SELF using Geohot's tools
5) Build package using psn_package_npdrm
6) Patch your builded package using Geohot's tool (only for 3.55 firmware)

-Hackers don't have any money
-It's too late to stop the exploit
<geohot> the lawyer, when explaining the TRO to me, said i would have to remove the keys from the internet
Update: Nilay here -- let's take a look at what's going on. This isn't a "lawsuit" in the traditional sense, since Sony hasn't filed a complaint for copyright infringement or whatever against Geohot and friends. Instead, the company appears to be trying to shove the genie back in the bottle and have the jailbreak and any information about the jailbreak removed from the web by filing a temporary restraining order. That might work in the short term -- Geohot's already pulled his pages down -- but history suggests that the forces of paperwork rarely triumph over the righteous anger of nerds, and that this code is out there for good. That said, we'll see what the court says tomorrow; although we very much doubt Sony's melodramatic proposed motion and order will be granted as written, we wouldn't be surprised if some sort of order is eventually granted -- and then from there a formal lawsuit is likely just a few days away.
The Public Interest Strongly Favors Granting SCEA Injunctive Relief
In copyright infringement cases, it is ordinarily presumed that an injunction will serve
the public interest if the copyright holder shows a likelihood of success on the merits.
According to a gaffot, he's put all the stuff back online because the legal documents weren't signed.

Microsoft I believe went into the black on their 360 investment a couple of years ago.
Sony has lost about $5 billion with the PS3. It explains their manic stupidity regarding virtually everything. Everything Sony does with the PS3 is a knee jerk reaction, usually involving fucking over legitimate owners of the platform, costing lots of money, and making things worse for everyone. This lawsuit is a sign of a desperate, cash starved, tunnel-visioned Sony, not a Sony who thinks ahead.
Sony will lose this lawsuit and lose out probably hundreds of thousands into millions of dollars of legal fees in the process. However when you lose billions on a product, what's a few more million at this point?

nail on the head. Nintendo, microsoft, and PS2-era Sony didn't sue hackers directly because it worked in their business model--they were selling an acceptable amount of consoles and software to offset the perceived piracy rates. Or they understand that it's unstoppable.
PS3-era Sony might be second place worldwide (citing methodis lol), but the ps3 is a fucking mess all around. It doesn't matter what "place" you're in if your product is a financial failure for your company.

fail0verflow said it "disagrees" with Mr Hotz's decision to release the key, saying that it expects them "to make piracy easier without accomplishing anything intrinsically useful".

the about turns that Sony fans have to do is what makes them so hilarious.
BU BU BU we can share games with friends, look! They are pimping this as a value added feature...
<fast forward a few years>
BU BU BU look at the EULA! this was clearly for people getting a new machine and if you are sharing you are a THIEF and a WHORE and should be SENT TO PRIZONS. What? well, he was only the PR head that wasn't his RIGHT to tell us we could share!

Yeah, the "Does 1 through 100" part is hilarious, they basically include 100 CURRENTLY UNKNOWN defendants in the complaint because they don't know of them or their real names, but are "informed and believe" that they exist, and reserve the right to include them into the complaint later "as their names become known".

Mirror of GeoHot's PS3 Jailbreak -- January 11, 2011
Our friends at Sony are having another bad day: i.e., doing something breathtakingly stupid, presumably because they don't know any better. This time they're suing George Hotz for publishing PS3 jailbreak information, as reported by EnGadget and Attack of the Fan Boy. Hotz's jailbreak allows PS3 owners to run the software of their choice on a machine they have legally purchased. His site is geohot.com.
Free speech (and free computing) rights exist only for those determined to exercise them. Trying to suppress those rights in the Internet age is like spitting in the wind.
We will help our friends at Sony understand this by mirroring the geohot jailbreak files at Carnegie Mellon.

How to Jailbreak PlayStation 3 on 3.55
Step 1: Plug a USB stick into your computer
Step 2: Download PS3UPDAT.PUP file.
Step 3: Create folder PS3 and then create folder UPDATE inside it.
Step 4: Unzip Jailbreak.zip. Take PS3UPDAT.PUP and place file in /PS3/UPDATE/ folder of your USB drive.
Step 5: Connect the USB device and select “System Update.”
Step 6: Choose Update via Storage Media
Step 7: It will say it found Version 3.55-jb
Step 8: Choose OK
Step 9: Accept Conditions and Install Update
Step 10: Power up your PS3 (You will have to do it on the console and not by the controller)
Voila!! You PS3 console on firmware 3.55 is jailbroken now
You can go back to OFW 3.55 just by using the same method you used to install 3.55jb but use the official 3.55 Update.

So I heard that there's a "Trophy Unlocker" homebrew that basically lets you get 100% in a game and sync to Sony's servers (after removing CFW I think). Is this in any way detectable or patchable at some point? Has there been a similar exploit on the 360 as well?
If Sony really can't do much about this then trophies will be even more worthless than they already are.
Credit to jercruz for presenting this on another forum.
all trophies will be unlocked with random timestamps (2010).
aren't trophies viewable only by yourself? why you would cheat against yourself?
:lol Hotz calling out PSP2 at the end of the interview:lol

Is it even possible to play backups with this hack?
What's the max amount of storage that the Ps3 accepts when it comes to external HDD's? 1TB?
fuck me - Sony are as stupid as their hard core fanbase!
I IZ BRING TRIAL IN SAN FRAN BECAZ OF TWITAR FACEBIKE >>> INSIDER TRADING
and that SERIOUSLY takes some fucking doing! lol.
As you may know if you’ve been following my progress, last week I took a short break from Wi-Fi Sync to look at the PS3 and how it works behind the scenes. The PS3 homebrew scene is currently at a point where you can install userland packages, such as FTPDs and SNES emulators, but you still don’t have any access to the hypervisor or GameOS kernel. It’s still very much a closed system.
As an iPhone developer with an app on Cydia, I can see great potential within the PS3. It’s crying out for a decent package manager, but you need OS-level access to do that effectively. Unlocking the PS3 in this way has other benefits too; the system can effectively be modified in any way you wish.
So today I’m releasing three tools which open the PS3’s hypervisor (lv1) and GameOS (lv2) to full read/write access from packaged userland applications. These tools can be used to create and test lv1/lv2 patches in RAM, which negates the risk of bricking your PS3 by flashing it with an incorrectly patched lv1 or lv2 binary. You can also use the tools to create a patched lv1 or lv2 binary, if you wish, although I suggest thoroughly testing your patches in-memory first.
I will make a few things clear before continuing: I do not condone piracy and these tools DO NOT enable copied games to run on the PS3. Again: these tools will not allow backup managers to suddenly start working on firmware 3.55. The tools are packaged in source code form and do not include any Sony code or other Sony assets such as encryption keys. If you’re not a developer, these tools will be useless to you, so please do not try to use them. They are made available with no implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
Three tools are being made available today:
* resign_self.py. This allows you to automatically replace any segment within a self and re-sign the self so the signatures and hashes are all valid again. Similar to makeself, but it is more suited towards patching lv1 and lv2 (and has been tested for this purpose).
* insert_lv1_lv2.py. This is just a convenience script I made to take a modified, re-signed lv1.self and lv2_kernel.self, and automatically create a PUP which is identical to an original PUP except for those two files.
* lv1dumper. This is an application which runs on the PS3 that you can compile and package using PSL1GHT and geohot’s tools. After running it, lv1 will be mapped at 0x8000000014000000 with read/write access, and you will be able to poke lv2 without the system shutting down. It disables the new lv2 memory hashing feature Sony added to 3.55 (probably to stop future USB jailbreaks).
lv1dumper requires that some patches to lv1 and lv2 are already in place. I’ll describe how to add these patches. They have been tested but I cannot guarantee that they won’t brick your PS3. Do not do this unless you’re comfortable with that.
Firstly, you need to extract the decrypted code segments from lv1.self and lv2_kernel.self (just use unself and copy them directly out of the ELF), and make the following changes to to them, assuming you’re using 3.55:
* lv1_undocumented_function_114 in lv1 must be patched so that it can be used to map any area of real memory. graf_chokolo found this trick months ago, but it still applies here. Patch the byte at D5A47 from 00 to 01 (2D5A47 if you’re looking for it in IDA).
* You then need to add peek and poke to lv2. Patch 1933C to E8 63 00 00 60 00 00 00 and 19348 to F8 83 00 00 60 00 00 00.
You can then use resign_self.py to re-insert your patched code segment back into the self. You’ll firstly need to change a few bytes in some useless strings because of the way zlib deflate works; the script will tell you what to do. I found that changing strings was the easiest way to do this, it just takes a bit of trial and error.
Finally, use insert_lv1_lv2.py to create your modified PUP. You’ll need to update to the PUP, then install geohot’s jailbreak PUP over the top of it. If you’ve done everything right, lv1dumper should just exit after you run it and you’ll have r/w access to lv1 and lv2 (peek and poke). The lv1_peek, lv1_poke, lv2_peek and lv2_poke functions in lv1dumper show how to use that access.
I’m hoping that some interesting and innovative stuff can come out of this, and maybe we can start to see ‘unofficial’ apps enjoying the same success on the PS3 that they do on the iPhone.
I heard it had problems with anything bigger than 750 GB?

"It's in total shambles and unplayable." That's how one Joystiq reader describes Modern Warfare 2 on PSN. With PS3 system security in disarray, hackers and cheaters have run rampant on Infinity Ward's Call of Duty games. Players unwittingly placed into a hacked server can meet the unfortunate consequence of losing all their stats and, unfortunately, it doesn't appear a fix is in sight.
"Games rely on the security of the encryption on the platforms they're played on," Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling explained on the game's official forums. "Unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform ... updates to the game through patches will not resolve this problem," he admits, adding, "at this time, we do not have the ability to restore or adjust individual stats."
Although Bowling adds that "we are looking at every option available to us to help any user affected," it appears the situation is quite dire, especially when one considers the workarounds Bowling suggests. You can submit a PSN grief report, play exclusively with friends via private matches, or play Black Ops, which does "not rely solely on platform security" -- something Infinity Ward promises to learn from in future games.

Basically the hack has destroyed online play on the PS3 and devs can't patch fixes to it.
:lol wow
edit: doesn't affect BLOPS, not that big.
PSP stuff is a part of this, right?
signing psp apps is working now. apparently 6.35 HEN has been signed and you don't need a save game exploit or anything to run it; just run it from the main psp screen as normal.
Is using dedicated servers only a possible solution for this kinda cheat?
I'm going to be pretty pissed if Sony's massive security failure leads to them rushing next-generation.
I'm sure the PS3's market failure is far more likely to expedite next-gen than piracy.
Ive pirated a few PSN games but can u pm me a link Third? We're PS bros we gotta look out for each other
Yeah, I have a fat32 250 external HDD and a 320GB internal HDD.
Yeah, I have a fat32 250 external HDD and a 320GB internal HDD.
How does that work? Fat32 can't handle single files bigger than 4gb right?
so you download a whole directory of a game?
what program do you use to split the files and put them back together?
So a "backed up" game doesn't consist of one centralized file, but rather a directory with the game's original on-disc file structure?

I deleted that shit right quick.
The only shitty thing is that I still need a BluRay disc in the drive to play a game. Should be fixed soon I hope

I don't get it, do people really go to gamestop and buy a ps3 while mentioning they are going to crack it?
Local Gamestop is telling people if they plan on jailbreaking a PS3 that they won't sell them one.
Good. Just go to Amazon and buy one without sales tax.

Oh joy. I'm going to love updating my PS3 every few hours.

Except no one is able to download 3.56 or anything from PSN right now.
You sure thats not because GT5 is just garbage period
the youtube comments of that video are kind of hilarious but i don't really understand where is the cheating... is he broking some rule i don't realize? ???
i need to get my psp up to speed on whatever the current cfw is, i want to be able to go back on psn and try out some of the psp minis
That has nothing to do with HAXXXXXXXXXXX though, just shit design. Manabyte is wrong, again.the youtube comments of that video are kind of hilarious but i don't really understand where is the cheating... is he broking some rule i don't realize? ???
Didn't see the cutting of the s-turns at 1.35? hehe.
And with that tweet, does this mean Sony is now officially distributing the PS3 Master Key?
serious question. what the hell is wrong with manabyte?
I hear they're adding a new axis to the DSM-V just to try to explain this.
Gameloft's Modern Combat: Domination draws some heavy inspiration from another big FPS franchise. And ironically, it's facing the same problem as its higher-profile counterpart. Available exclusively via the PSN, Modern Combat has been struggling against cheats and hacks almost immediately since its release -- "a result of the PS3 jailbreak situation," a Gameloft representative told us. A YouTube video demonstrates how the game "is going to get f***d hard," as the poster describes it.

PSX-SCENE has once again nabbed documents dripping with juicy info from Sony’s attempted legal tussle with fail0verflow, and they find the Japanese giant in a bit of a tight spot. Sony, you see, attempted to subpoena Google, YouTube, Twitter, PayPal, Slashdot, and many more – basically, the whole Internet – for more information on the identities of the mysterious console crackers.
US District Judge the Honorable Susan Illston, however, apparently thought that was taking things a bit too far and denied Sony’s request for subpoenas. For now, then, it seems that it’s back to square one.
That would be interesting if the Kevin Butler tweet was a signal that Sony is going to try reverse psychology and openly condone piracy as a way of fighting piracyI'm guessing that whoever runs his twitter is out of the loop on the overflow thing.

http://www.thinq.co.uk/2011/2/1/sonys-ps3-356-firmware-causing-hard-drive-woes/
Sony appears to have scored an own-goal with its latest firmware patch for the PlayStation 3: not only does it fail to patch the flaw in the digital rights management system, but reports are coming in of it causing upgraded hard drives to fail.
The PS3 3.56 update was released by Sony in order to issue a new private key and uninstall the third-party firmware that was released as a result of work carried out by George Hotz and fail0verflow - firmware that allowed illegitimately downloaded games to be played on an otherwise unmodified PS3.
Just a few hours after the update was posted, reports came in that the new key had been cracked in the same way as the old one - but the news gets worse for Sony.
According to multiple reports from users across the world, the latest firmware update doesn't play well with new-model PS3 Slim consoles. Units with upgraded hard disks report that the drive is corrupted, and request that a USB drive with the 3.56 firmware is inserted in order for the drive to be reformatted and repaired.
Sadly, that doesn't appear to work. Instead of a working, albeit blank, hard drive, users who follow the instructions are receiving 'Data Corrupt' errors and being left with unusable consoles.
While the error appears to only be affecting newer models of PS3 Slim, and only those that have had the internal hard drive upgraded to a larger model, it's a blow for Sony - and leaves those affected waiting impatiently for firmware 3.57 to be released.
YouTube user PS3slimComparison has provided a video demonstrating the issue, reproduced below.
[youtube=560,345]G40zYK-DbgY[/youtube]
Isn't 3.56 the newest version? I haven't updated since 3.55. I just knew that Sony would screw up with their eagerness to shut down security loopholes.
I don't think he understands what a restraining order is, considering he has a PS3 right there in the shot.
Now that Killzone 3 has leaked, how long until Sony just does CD-Keys or requires a constant online connection for PS3 games?

Yeah, if there's one thing a third place company needs to do, it would be extending the middle finger to the largest video game retailer and second largest seller of video games in North America.

That would be implied by the whole "North America" thing for most literate people, yes.

it's not true, was proven to be FUD.
does this mean sony is trading my insider information?
[Update: Ars has updated its article with more details, determining that the risks would mostly affect custom Firmware that has already circumvented Sony's security measures. Really, who cares about those guys? There is still potential for a wily hacker to pull a lot of information from a PSN account, but no greater risk than anywhere else. While Sony's system is still flawed, it's not half as scary as it first sounded. Phew!]

Sony Computer Entertainment America, or SCEA, filed a motion to dismiss [PDF] the lawsuit. The court granted in part and denied in part. It has dismissed [PDF] all the claims against Sony except for one -- but with the right to amend -- and the one claim that survived is the one alleging that SCEA violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Right to amend means the plaintiffs can fix the deficiencies, if they can.
Some of you may conclude that there may be more justice in this world than you thought, when you reflect on the fact that now both Sony and George Hotz face claims of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
For now, it looks to me (at first glance) that the ps3 has been resecured, but it doesn't mean it can't be broken again from scratch..
Their previous errors were epic fails, it doesn't mean they can't do an epic save either.. they seem to have fixed all the issues they had..
@ChronosWing we already have the metldr key, the thing is that they don't use metldr anymore, at all!
Wow, in 3.60, Sony removed all the loaders, no more isoldr/lv1ldr/lv2ldr/appldr.. but they added lv0.2! Seems they found a way to secure ps3
I'd gladly donate $10 to ban methodis.
Ain't nobody can catch THE HOT
so many salty tears from PS3 fanboys over this
STFU methodis.
Ain't nobody can catch THE HOT
he cleared it up and said it was a vacation planned long before and no donations was used.

Groklaw has updated the Class action case against SCEA for the removal of OtherOS.

In order to avoid nonsense, PLEASE READ THE LINK!! before making a stupid post and claiming the OP didn't inform you of something.
SCEA seems to be taking a different stance in the OtherOS case than what they are asserting in the Hotz case. In the Hotz case, SCEA claims it is obvious they were the party Hotz was targeting as they are responsible for the PS3 in the US. However, in the OtherOS case, it seems SCEA has asserted the exact opposite and that SCEI is responsible for the PS3 software, so SCEA is the wrong one to sue.
SCEA has also asserted that SCEI is not the parent company of SCEA anymore, while confusingly stating they are a wholly owned subsidiary of SCEI in the Hotz case.
Of other interest, SCEA wants to inspect the PS3 HDD's of those in the class action case. Why, does SCEA want to inspect them? Well, SCEA claims they could be involved in the widespread effort to hack the PS3. (Ms. Sacks is the SCEA attorney)
Anonymous hasn't ever done anything of worth except troll some online trolls or people too stupid to give them their own things. I don't really think this is impressive that a bunch of fat man babys are pretending their some terrorist organization. I guess they are if you consider the amount of cheetos theyre going to be buying a terrorist funded operation.
Some Sony sites are down.That is nothing.
IT BEGINS
The war on Sony by 'hacktivist' collective Anonymous has turned personal.
For off-shoot group SonyRecon, successful DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks on the PlayStation website and PlayStation Store were not enough, reports PlayStationLifestyle.
SonyRecon plans to take matters a step further and carry out 'Dox' attacks on Sony employees. Dox refers to stealing a person's identity - their name, telephone number, pictures, home address, email, IP, family details and so on - and maliciously using that information against them
SonyRecon provided examples of how the stolen information could be used. One example was sending STD postcards - e-postcards - to the target to tell them that one of their previous partners had a sexually transmitted disease.
SonyRecon is still a fledgling operation, but already claims to have brought down Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton's website - the legal firm handling the George "Geohot" Hotz case.
Yesterday, Anonymous declared war on Sony for its "wholly unforgivable" legal pursuit of George "Geohot" Hotz - aka the man credited with jailbreaking PS3.
"Now you will experience the wrath of Anonymous. You saw a hornets nest, and stuck your penises in it. You must face the consequences of your actions, Anonymous style," a threat read.
It'd be great if they killed GAF with all the shit Sfags are talking.
Joint Statement
Sony Computer Entertainment America (“SCEA”) and George Hotz (“Hotz”) today announced the settlement of the lawsuit filed by SCEA against Hotz in federal court in San Francisco, California. The parties reached an agreement in principle on March 31, 2011. As part of the settlement, Hotz consented to a permanent injunction.
Both parties expressed satisfaction that litigation had been quickly resolved. “Sony is glad to put this litigation behind us,” said Riley Russell, General Counsel for SCEA. “Our motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers. We believe this settlement and the permanent injunction achieve this goal.”
“It was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier,” said Hotz, I’m happy to have the litigation behind me.” Hotz was not involved in the recent attacks on Sony’s internet services and websites.
In the action, SCEA accused Hotz of violating federal law by posting online information about the security system in the PlayStation 3 videogame console and software that SCEA claimed could be used to circumvent the security system in the console and allow the playing of pirated videogames. Hotz denies any wrongdoing on his part. Hotz’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction was still pending before the federal court in San Francisco but a preliminary injunction was issued requiring Hotz to take down the postings challenged by SCEA.
“We want our consumers to be able to enjoy our devices and products in a safe and fun environment and we want to protect the hard work of the talented engineers, artists, musicians and game designers who make PlayStation games and support the PlayStation Network,” added Russell. “We appreciate Mr. Hotz’s willingness to address the legal issues involved in this case and work with us to quickly bring this matter to an early resolution.”

As much as George Hotz says that the settlement agreement is confidential, after reading them one can understand why he would want them to remain buried under the veil of confidentiality. According to those court documents, which have now been leaked to multiple hacking sites, and posted on Videogame247, Hotz was the losing party in the agreement.
According to those court documents, Hotz has been put under a "permanent injunction" that forbids him from "trafficking in any technology" that "circumvents any of the TPM’s in any Sony product," including any kind of decryption code or technology. He is also banned from assisting anyone else in such activities, or distributing and knowledge or confidential information related to Sony's products.
His hands are tied and his voice is lost when it comes to any Sony products. Further if he does engage in any activity that he is barred from in the court order, he can be fined $10,000 for each incident, up to a cap of $250,000. Should he violate the order, he also agrees that any further court proceedings will take place in California. In other words he agrees that the jurisdiction is officially California - apoint his lawyers argued against during most of his legal battle with Sony.
If there is one thing Hotz won it was that Sony did not ask that he pay any damages or legal fees. Still, Hotz's legal fees were not for free so he ate those, save whatever money he raised from donations and groups such as the EFF.
Excellent, Geohot comes through.:lol :lol :lol :lol
