in reality this is a old procedure and VERY old news, which also includes using the 360 and portable music systems.....NOT JUST PS3

flamebait

*sighs*

How the heck is this hacking? And, they could use this method on any computer with USB ports.

P1NKY4837d ago

How is this "Hacking" the PS3? All they're doing is plugging a USB mouse into one of the USB sockets to charge their phones.

Darkfiber4837d ago

Wait, prisoners get cell phones and PS3s? What the fuck?

Burning_Finger4837d ago

Yeah, They have better lifestyle than you. So gear up and sign up for prison.

Solidestchimp4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

True only down side is the odd chance of man rape in the showers but a free ps3!!!!! may be worth the risk hmmmmm -_-

"True only down side is the odd chance of man rape in the showers" LOL God bless america

Sean Ryno4837d ago

Man, you beat me to it. Exactly what I was gonna say. +1 agree, +1 bubble.

mushroomwig4837d ago

Prison is a cosy place for people these days, some have consoles and Sky TV in their cell.

Personally I would let those fuckers rot in a hole, but that's me.

conswella4837d ago

why, they were just some kids that smoked some pot.

Stevo914837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

They dont just get given cell phones... they obviously get them smuggled in. they will run out sometime so all they are doing is charging them.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing691d 15h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle1d 14h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal1d 14h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa1d 12h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 10h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
