Watch a calculator jailbreak the PS3

Maxconsole: "After all these years of 'security', it is just incredible how this exploit is making a mockery of their system in so many weird and wonderful ways. Check out the laugh of the year inside."

they "hacked" the ps3 sending it to debug mode.

Hackers deserve a round of applause bravo. Cowards.

deadreckoning6664980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

lol kartik..dude chill. I honestly find the irony funny. For years it was said that the PS3 was unhackable..now a mere calulator can do the deed. If u can't see the amusement there well...

@Disagrees- You people take this way too seriously.

AndrewRyan4980d ago

Somebody is butthurt because they are not getting free games. Really dude you need to chill everything gets hacked you don't have to have a sissy fit over it.

3XP4980d ago

"It only does" Ti-84, Smartphones, USB drives...lol

It would be so damn funny if you could hack it with a nintendo DS...haha

badz1494980d ago

when I think back about it, this is exactly the way hackers show how pathetically sad person they are! for almost 4 years they had tried and failed to hack the system, now that they got somebody stealing Sony's code to bring the PS3 to debug mode and they rushed to the internet posting pictures and videos of themselves practically saying; "look, I can copy and paste files on my flash drives and it works!!"

shoddy4980d ago

Even a calculator can do it?

They pretty much stole the key to the door from the home owner and make more.

It's more of a thief then a hack.
No need to spend $170 for a USB.

KingME4979d ago (Edited 4979d ago )

Perhaps it took 3 years before anyone tried, then some kid sitting in science class got bored and decided to surf the net on his smartphone and read on N4G that the PS3 was unhackable.

He then proceeded to pull out his ti-84 and cracked the PS3 before class was over.

So 3 years to try it, and less than an hour to do it...just kidding guys.

@jwatt - (below) pull your head out of Sony's butt, you not going to receive free PSN Plus for kissing their a$$.

jwatt4980d ago

I have to say Congrats to Sony for making a system that was so hard to hack people claimed it was unhackable. Well people thought the Titanic wasn't sinkable so these hacks shouldn't be a surprise. I'm just curious to see how Sony will fight this.

LOL it is kind of funny that a calculator can be used to hack the unhackable ps3.

sucks for the gaming division but i hate to tell you this when somebody makes a remark the ps3 is unhackable , it kind of puts up a challenge out there to some people and now look at the end result a frickin calculator LOL

Karooo4980d ago

they didnt touch the hypervisor or anything, just used a debug mode exploit.

Its pathetic. Unlike 360 which was opened and violated the day it was launched.

Blaze9294980d ago

you seem upset. you mad bruh?

Karooo4980d ago

I wonder why sony isnt releasing a firmware, maybe they want this to destroy the 360.

PS3 is 3 years old anyway so i guess its no big deal

danmachine4980d ago

you make it sound so dirty.

badz1494980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

and...you're happy?

edit:

the 1st exploit was using a programmable USB stick - the simplest form of flash memory! why is it using a calculator/smart phones which are definitely more powerful and complex than the USB stick a news? because it has flash memory? why are people so happy promoting this hack? do we have more pirates here than gamers?

Hudahudahuda4980d ago

I like repeating things other people post on the internet over and over and over again. It makes me feel unique, special and funny.

Immortal Kaim4980d ago

I love how you guys are even turning which system is more easily hacked into a console war sissy fight, man you're pathetic. At least us gamers are getting a good laugh out of it. :)

absolutecarnage4980d ago

The only person that needs to STFU is you Kartik21, PS3 is hacked get over it, Don't get your panties in a bunch I guess it does do everything including being hacked

I know there Motto is it only does everything it should be

It only gets hacked by everything

Blaze9294980d ago

i gotta admit, that was pretty darn funny.

GaMe014980d ago

I'm not a fanboy either check my latest post about me buying my Ps3 and loving it. I do have a sense of humor and in no way am I down playing Ps3 I love it I just like to be funny

Amplitude4980d ago

It's hilarious that Blaze929 thought that was clever. XD XD XD lmao. Wow. rofl

cp684980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

'Watch a PSP jailbreak the PS3' story erupts.

This is absolutely pathetic..wonder how sony will respond.

danmachine4980d ago

the ps3 remains unhackable in a way, since they had to steal the software/hardware from sony to do it. nice hacking skills, stealing shit.

Anton Chigurh4980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

the Hackers managed to run Unsigned code so that means the PS3 is 100% hacked

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies13h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken8h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6923h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt11h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken8h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 5h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 5h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 4h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies18h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
