Guy at work was telling me about this. VERY interesting. Not $130 interesting, but interesting.

It will be cloned for sure but im not sure if it will be possible to turn an average usb flash drive into one any time soon... Thats what everyone has their fingers crossed for though

Im getting worn out from all this modded console business. Trying to get shit done is proving a bit difficult for me it seems. Or once I get things settled, something happens and I am back at square 1. I cant even put CFW on my new PSP cause I have a fat battery and not a slim/3K battery.

What model psp do you have? I dont know about 3k's but fat batterys will work on 2000's (including pandoras).

theres much discussion regarding this and its not 100% proven as you cant tell if the system is a dev system or not. if it is, this is completely proven false.


a standard, sold in stores, ps3 will not boot files from a usb. only dev kits can do that which is still the debate of whether this is true or not. also, if this is proven true expect to see a update that will negate it soon enough.

either way, i got a modded 360, ill stick with that, i like to support sony more than M$

as expected, this will be a very short lived hack, if its even possible in the first place still remains to be seen regardless

Yesterday, Sony Computer Entertainment Australia was granted a temporary injunction by the nation's Federal Court to block the importation and sale of the new PS3 modchips.

The injunction means that until August 31, none of the modchip's Australian distributors will be able to import, sell or otherwise offload the devices. What's more, they have to take all the stock they already have and leave them with Sony's solicitors until the August 31 deadline passes.

Sony has from now until August 31 to convince the courts that the injunction becomes a more permanent arrangement (temporary injunctions are designed to maintain the "status quo" until a matter can be settled). If they succeed, it'll mean the end of legal sales of the device in Australia, but if they fail, then once September 1 rolls around the chips will be able to go on sale.

This is an interesting development, since a 2005 Supreme Court ruling determined that the sale of modchips was legal in Australia (though Nintendo was recently successful in banning the R4). We've contacted Sony to see how they managed to get around this, and will update if we hear back.

I haven't researched, but are the flash drives being made in Australia? Usually China or equivalent takes care of the actual manufacture of console hacking hardware.

Canada is a great place

rumor is this has been negated already by sony with the 3.42 firmware that was just released. thats what people are claiming already
