those things will sell by the shit load... any idea where to get one?

lol thats a lot of effort just to hack a ps3

Yer there site is:

But i dont think they have been Manufactured by the load yet,
So would have to keep looking on there website.

@Pud

I agree alot of effort to hack the PS3, But once done oh Yes!!!!

I acidently left my Harddrive in my PS3 and played a movie,
That stupid copyright message Blaaaaaa!!!
I know there is CFW 3.55 that removes that now hehe!!
Oh yer and MKV support

For everything else would not be fussed, an i do have a media player to do it for me now,
But still never the less its possible to run CFW and OFW

So if anything it would reduce the amount of people attempting to bypass the checks on a CFW to get on the store and run Unsigned code
i.e. Ingame hacks!

Look at it this way, If it works and it takes of, its a safer bet than people attempting to make a CFW get on PSN

no doubt this is the reason for todays maintenence...?
More PSN checks when you login.

I doubt it...........

Its not been release so sony aint got a clue,

Its hardware change so it would require a patch for this be stopped.


This would not effect the PSN Sign in, as only people on OFW 3.70 can sign in,

CFW are not able to bypass PSN security checks, and if anything this will reduce the attempts in people trying to do so,

Why would you want a CFW to go onto PSN and risk banning your console,
When you can login and use the OFW and play properly with your legit games..


If i could bother meself to get it,
i would use it for the Copyright protection removal of movies and MKV Support.

Also the trial of games before buying then, Stop waisting my money on Lovefilm.

This looks like an elegant solution that keeps most people happy (except Sony). It keeps dipshit hackers offline, but harmless use like Dave suggested possible. It also looks like it works with a range of hardware - not just PS3.
