I don't get it, do people really go to gamestop and buy a ps3 while mentioning they are going to crack it?

definitely. I always hear foreveraloners bragging about modding PSPs and stuff at gamestop. usually one of those weird guys that hangs out and bugs the clerks.

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.

I bet this is not happening.

Or maybe SDF employees are doing a check for their company (Sony)?

For some reason, this reminds me of the time that a gafot wanted to report Gamestop to Sony for running a PSP trade-in deal. Hilarious.

Firmware 3.56: Sony Strikes Back

It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Although the PS3 has been hacked, Sony has sued the hackers and pursued them across the galaxy.

Evading the dreaded Firmware Patch, a group of freedom fighters led by fail0verflow has found the keys to the PS3 system so they could hack all the new firmware.

The evil lord Hirai, obsessed with finding young Geohot, has dispatched thousands of lawyers into the far reaches of space….

She's basically the only non fanboy there. She was joking they were thinking of just putting PS3 stuff on the PC shelf to make more room for Wii/360 stuff since almost no one buys PS3 games

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #438 on:** January 26, 2011, 11:49:47 PM »

No way I'm downloading this even if the old firmware locks me out of Netflix as usual, which BTW is also really distinguished mentally-challenged. Considering how paranoid Sony is right now, who knows wtf might happen to my PS3 with this firmware. Sony has already screwed up my PC once with their audio CD DRM. They're not getting another chance.

Are there really a lot of people with modded PS3s? I was under the impression that the current CFW installers have a high chance of bricking the PS3.

I'm not a legal expert but the Butler tweet seems really dumb and possibly harmful for Sony's legal actions. How can they claim that propogation of such info is wrong when they are allowing a PR employee to do the same, even if it's in jest?

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.

People actually paid for that on PSN?

Yep. The people who used to rag on the Wiimote but now demand everything on the PS3 to have Move support have somehow forced themselves to like it and convince others to do so.

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.

I was trying to wade through a few threads to get the latest (for shits sake) and it sounded like the latest FW has stunted CFW growth, while I had thought basically Sony was really fucked until they made a proper hardware revision.

Anyone who knows what they're talking about know what the latest deal is?

Similar to the PSP situation, official firmware updates are probably just stopgap solutions.
