An Australian court has permanently banned the distribution of PS3 piracy tool PSJailbreak, it has been revealed.
Sony won a permanent injunction against the import and sale of the USB device after its temporary ban expired earlier this week, GI.biz reports.

“I thoroughly enjoy retro-style games and with that, Magic Orbz modernises the classic brick breaking formula and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Kevin writes: "Multi-GPU gaming was one of those things that seemed like a good idea for as long as it lasted. I mean honestly, the idea of a modular approach to graphics upgrades – be that SLI or CrossFire – was brilliant. I repeat, the idea was brilliant."
Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
Next, THE WORLD!!!!
Lulz they only got PSJailbreak banned now, but the clones aren't forbidden yet.
Furthermore the code is out and N900 phone version already leaked, you can make a stick yourself with Tweensy++ boards and Android and iPHone versions are upon us in the next few weeks.
So Sony, go sue some more while the community uses low cost sticks or even free solutions using their phones...
EDIT

Uh no, the hack isn't made illegal with this court case, the product called PSJailbreak is. The other clones could still be sold.
@ Baka
Yes, free solutions are better, like this one for the N900

furthermore, remember that the hack enables all unsigned code to run, thus homebrew. Which is much more interesting than illegal games IMO.
Go Sony!! :D
... The sooner this piece of shit is banished from this Earth, the better.
I don't want Sony & PS3 to die.. Because of piracy :(
the guys that wanted to sell this didnt because they knew it was illegal and the way they made it would have meant jail time for theft
like i said
it will never see the light of day and anyone that uses the free version will get the ban hammer
them to HELL!!!!
