PSN Access is back for 3.55 CFW

Great news for everyone who missed out on connecting their 3.55 CFW PS3s to the PSN, the team Codename: Rebug has released a simple to install PKG file that will allow you to once again access the current PSN, and download your missing DLC files, or simply recover/create a username so you can enable ReactPSN. I am sure over the next couple of days, many users will be sure to take full advantage of this option. That is, before Sony catches on and decides to put a stop to it; which may have to wait until after this year's E3 convention, scheduled for June 5th - 7th.

Yup, those 5 guys and the one who posted the article should all be banned as far a I am concerned, this is not the kind of news anyone wants to give more exposure to.

No legit player want pirates and hackers in the online community. We have enough cheaters as it it.

EDIT: Also, you can click under the "read full story" (don't click it, don't give those guys hits, click UNDER it) to rate the site and the story, I guess this can remove this crap from the main page.

Chrono5100d ago

These people can't live without pirating, can they?

Ser5100d ago

It's like they just sit there all day conjuring up new ways to do it. You know what?...They probably do.

0pie5100d ago

i guess there is a lot of verry poor people who can buy a 60$ games so they prefer to steal it.

Hisiru5100d ago (Edited 5100d ago )

@0pie
I am not a pirate, but PS3 games here in Brazil are $180,00 at launch and we have a lower salary than americans.

We pay:
-R$900,00 for a PS3
-700,00 for a PS Vita
-240.000,00 for a Range Rover (that is costing just 30.000,00 in the United States)
-180.000,00 for a Chevrolet Camaro (that is costing just 20.00,00 in the United States)

We have some problems (government taxes) even for people who wants to pay for their original games.

But yeah... but nothing justifies piracy.

BISHOP-BRASIL5100d ago

Também moro no Brasil (I live in Brazil too).

Pricing here is about as crazy as it gets.

And you probably know it, but RS900 (450 USD) PS3 and R$700 (350 USD) Vita are both usually grey market (importação ilegal, evasão de impostos).

The official price here is R$1199 (600USD) for PS3 and R$1599 (800USD) for the only Vita available (a bundle with MNR: Road Trip, a 4GB card and a pouch).

Every company here set their profits as high as 50% and than blame the taxes, which is massive, but not the only responsible.

Hisiru5100d ago

@bishop-br
Youre totally right man, this is how things works here (sadly).

I actually paid 900,00 for my PS3, but yes, it's not the offical price. The official price is actually higher (as you said).

BISHOP-BRASIL5100d ago

@Persistantthug

Don't believe the hype... There really only a few nude beaches here and they are filled with ugly people... Just like mostly everywhere else I guess.

There's pretty women here? Sure, but not to the extent those travel agencies leaflets made it to be.

0pie5099d ago

@hisiru
You know ... here a ferrari can cost up to 1 millions... And im not gonna steal one because i cant buy one...

Well everything in this world casts a shadow so it's only natural for pirates to exist. But then there are ludicrious pricing at other parts of the world and other examples of greed in high places which contribute to this as well so it's a vicious circle.

The only question is will the proper countermeasures be enforced that doesn't screw the legal consumers....

PixL5100d ago (Edited 5100d ago )

Great news? Piss off cheaters. I hope ban is coming soon.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7718d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde25d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy25d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga26d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199226d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga26d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman25d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger26d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box26d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion25d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7226d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7526d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit26d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14926d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7726d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
