NowGamer: Until recently Prison Break: The Conspiracy was the most boring thing I’d ever seen on the PS3. Not any more. The PS3 Jailbreak hack has been boring me to tears for the last few weeks. It was, of course, a major breakthrough for the hacking community, but why does anyone else care?

I bet most of the people who are saying "no way i love sony" are downloading the games ready to play offline as i post this comment.
I have principles. I believe Sony treat me well, so I treat them well in return.
What with Sony and the PS2 BC? Those bastards want to shove those crappy re-mastered PS2 games through our asses no matter what!
Having one console play games from 3 different gen was such a nice thing... Sony's not treating me well. =(
If that was directed at me then let me tell you, I'm no fanboy. I happen to own both consoles - I've even had the 360 for two years before I got the PS3 - and I feel that, for a myriad of reasons, the PS3 is superior. After all, consoles aren't children; it's easy to pick a favourite.
Plus it certainly helps that right now I don't feel like I'm being shafted to death by Sony like I am by Microsoft.
I believe I never mentioned your name. Also to your statement about the PS3 being better, of course it is, it's a true Nextgen console, but the fanboys on this site piss me off.
If it wasn't meant for Acquiesce why you replied to him? What do you think REPLY buttom does? Are you that desparate to show your point?
well said man. Im sick of these people saying ps fanboys are worse, if you call out one side it means you are a fanboy for the other side. Both sides are the worst.
i was thinkin the same thing
this is comedy to me tho
Thats some fucked up comedy, people take it to extremes alot dude.
People are BRUTAL on here, no other place comes close to the fanboy wars here its insane. To the point that it might not be physically healthy due to the number of times this occurs per person.
This is where people get their twisted jollys off during the day. It isnt everyone, but a large number of people do so with either a "I Take It In The B--T From MS" or "I always finish S_NY off with a Chilean miner" stamped on their faces.
I'm a PC/PS3 gamer, but i know when I see a fanboy, you don't even have to play video games to know when someone is obsessed over something.
At least PS3 fanboy drivvle has some truth to it, but most 360 fanboys just spurt out complete and utter lies.
Ps3 owners just defend the things that deserve to be defended, and only cares about sony's products (they don't care about xbox or wii), xbox fans attack and downplay all the best things, use stupid logic (like recently with ridiculous sarcasm about ps3 hack, they was enjoying that like a victory for them, but instead, it was just another fail : 4 years before the first hack, and if hack work = more sells), and defend the worst (10$ more to play online, no exclusives, kinect, etc), for microsoft.
"dammage control for ps3 fans"
?? meh ???? another dumb statement, hack is not a defeat for ps3 owners (like stupid xfanboyz are thinking..), it's just another hack, like on ps2, ps2, dreamcast, gamecube, xbox, etc (but this one came 4 years after the laucnh, and it's not already popular and future proof)
lol@braindead tatotiburon.
who cares? Millions of Xbox fans do the same thing.
I mean, Sony isn't bleeding on PS3 anymore. Its a multibillion dollar company, stop defending them like children. They can take care of themselves.
Download?
What are you talking about
uh idk what your talking about cause when I called up to get my 60gb repaired I had 2 options. an upgrade to a 120gb slim which he also mentioned does not have BC for ps2 games for 130. or for 150 i could just get my original console repaired.
But the mods killed that story
and perma ban your console, so it isnt a good idea
I remember ppl using it when we were getting the 2.xx updates.
So yeah.. i dont know if it still works.
But that is also how you can access the PS3 pstore on ur PC and d/l stuff if I recall correctly.
Honestly, By the time I get home PS+ will have updated my console for me. so i'm not too bothered..
(but I think I still have to hit accept to install? I think they said it just DOWNLOADS the fw update?)
.. But it most certainly isn't legitimate.. It's just wrong to use in so many different ways.
But you also take money away from hard working developers.
Just saying, I know that some games are not worth your hard earned cash, but you still want to try them. That is why they invented demos.
I agree that stealing the hard work of game developers is bad and you are right they are some games that are not worth the cash but if you want to try the game you would rent it. Demos are only fifteen to twenty minutes and is better to rent the game. Which we only have one option and that is Gamefly yay!!!
PS3 is the most boring thing ever on Jailbreak
If it is there, give us the access.
PS3 hardware isn't able to run PS2 code unless such code is redone and optimized for PS3 (the remastered PS2 games, if it were just a question of put PS2 code in BD and give it a Sony PS3 signature, we would have tons of them around now).
In order to play PS2 discs earlier PS3 models have BOTH Emotion Engine and RSX. After a while they come up with a cheaper model lacking RSX but with EE still and just for having to emulate RSX the list of compatible PS2 games were more than 1/3 smaller. After they get rid of the PS2 hardware and backward compatibility were no more... If anything, this shows that even if Sony had an emulator running on PS3, it would be unable to run something like 90% of PS2 library.
Maybe this crackers or someone else (if a homebrew scene ever start) can come up with an PS2 emulator someday, but right now this smells like empty promises, specially because right now this jailbreak is only for those few hundreds that get their PS3 in version 3.41 (no older, no newer), that don't go online and don't plan on playing new games...
Have nothing new or exciting to talk about for your precious 360. Oh right, that you hacked no less.
You are just a filthy pirate to begin with.
This is different and its not even a hack. Its debug mode.
hack the Ps3 & Sony will give you the middle finger aka permenantly BAN your sorry ass from PSN kicking it all the way back to Xbox Live.
everything that happens to Sony is MS fault.. u r a Sony Fanboy :)
Kartik and his antics. Hilarious
you use that broadband you are paying monthly for and that Sony wastes 5 mins of your time.
i dont have unlimited cap.
This article just read my mind!! Seriously, why should I care what others are doing with there ps3. The fact that xbots are drooling over this dull subject is a testimony of how "vast" there upcoming library of games is lol. But seriously this "hack" will have little to no effect on the sales of games and/or consoles so all of you that are concerned about that being an issue can rest easy now. Can we now pick a different, more interesting subject please?!?!
Whole situation ironic really.
Not able to rent games from anywhere besides gamefly sucks. Is going to hurt and encourage hackers more to hack. There is nothing wrong with renting a game and as far as the PS3 jailbreak goes these hackers sole intention wasn't just to play PS3 games for free which it did not happen it was to bring back the other OS a.k.a Linux and to play PS2 games; as well, play movies in the mkv format. Features that have been demanded by the PS3 community for a very long time and Sony has ignored this well except for the other OS feature. That was the purpose of the jailbreak and hopefully Sony decides to bring back the PS2 compatibility sooner rather than later plus the mkv movie format support. I mean is great how Sony fix this with a firmware update but I hope that Sony understands why the hackers hack the PS3 in the first place and give us the features that the hackers were trying to hack to eradicate the purpose of hacking
But seriously this is a really weak attempt at seeming like you're not really excited for the prospect of stealing from Sony, I mean they've been stealing from consumers for years - all capitalist corporations do.
Ps3 exclusives says hi lmao
an actual troll, usually people have a blind faith in what they believe in
which makes them fanboys, then there is you, a true troll, I don't think anybody here even believes you like games or even care about consoles in general, you get your rocks off trying to upset people...interesting that someone would bother to go through the trouble...but, of course why am I even bothering going through the trouble of replying to you? blah...
he is no fanboy
i think he gets a kick out of making idiots angry lol
He is just being a troll, I don't believe he is a fanboy for any console, he just wants to piss people off. like that annoying kid in school, you know, the one that always points out when you make a grammar mistake or laughs a little too loud and long when someone trips and hurts themselves. he is just a useless PITA.
Having said that, I currently have no real intentions of hacking together some USB device to make this a reality, and I do understand that 98% of the people who do this will do it with the idea of getting games for free. So while I'm not a fanboy, I'm rooting for Sony to put this fire out quickly to keep damages to a minimum. I strongly believe piracy on the Wii and DS hurts the system a lot more than most people would like to believe, although I think the difficulty in modding a 360 makes it more prohibitive. If the only thing standing between piracy and legitimate sales on the PS3 is a small USB dongle, then Sony is freaking out right now.
That article is actually pretty well-written. I'll be honest, I was skeptical to update to 3.42 because I was thinking about getting a Teensy++ Board to back my games up, but really, how fair is that? After second thought, I respect Sony enough to update to 3.42 (Which I'm doing now) because it's not fair to the company OR the developers to have people basically cheat them.
I respect Sony for releasing the update so timely, it was a fair move to prevent these hackers from going any further. And sure there will be other exploits found in the future (I mean, look how long it took already) but I'm sure Sony will stay on top of it all, protecting their system along with their reputation, unlike most other consoles.
and that is when the PS4 comes out and it has become a last generation console, I would like to actually get the install other OS feature back so I can use it as a Linux media center/server. but, not right now, not at the expense of what I bought it for right now. I want to play games on it, I have no desire to steal games, If I cannot afford a game I will wait till the price drops or get it used if it is single player.
maybe it is because I work for every dollar I make that I don't have a desire to steal games.
to backup my OWNED ps3 games to my HDD.
I might sound lazy here, but am I the only one who would have enjoyed having most of MY games on my HDD?
it puts me in danger of losing PSN and updates I won't be touching it.
I wish their was a legit way to do this.
Wow, what a gay article! It sounds like the guy is going to start crying.
I don't think about modding until a console is long off the market. I usually pick up emu collectons, obscure, odd games that I know little about, media software so that I can use it with multi format video.
That's about it. I know lots of people mod to get the latest stuff. Doesn't seem neccessary to me, since 9 out of 10 game releases aren't worth my time anyway. What is the point of risking a $300 to $500 machine?
Did that guy really reference a character from Toy Story. 10/10 on the gay meter!
"That's funny because I think 360 fanboys are worse. PS3 fanboys have very valid reasons to be loyal to Sony. Sony treat their customers really well and give them heaps of great exclusives. What does Microsoft do? Screw their customers at every possible turn and yet you 360 fanboys still defend them. It's insane!
At least PS3 fanboy drivvle has some truth to it, but most 360 fanboys just spurt out complete and utter lies."
!! ?????? What a crock of shit :-/
Dont have a blu ray burner so I am unsure how it works and what programs are out in the wild.
With most dvd ripping programs there are several files which are filler, but they still take up space on the disc. If you were to try to make an exact copy without a zip/rar type file it would be too large for the disc. Some burning programs allow you to delete those files and just take the main parts/ select episode etc... Is it possible to select and choose which files you would want on blu-ray.
If there is no way to select which files could be copied/removed then Sony could implement huge files that would take up various parts of the disc or just one giant file to help prevent d/l piracy. Even if it was just multiple copy/paste video files or audio files that were included in the main files just not exe types if that makes sense.
Doing something like this could make it troublesome and time consuming for people to download. May not stop people from borrowing, renting, etc...to make a direct copy but at least someone would be getting paid when people burn copies. I am sure the dsl/cable companies could red flag someone when they see someone d/l a 20 gb file. Which would most likely result in them getting throttled.
