If so, this is as useful as a hack for the Dreamcast.

6.2 - @Reburn. Lay off the glue.
60/20 gig PS3s were discontinued in summer of 2007."

Eh??? Its not limited to the PS2 BC PS3's mate

ITS ALL THE FAT PS3'S

That includes the 40GB's, 80GB's etc. untill the introduction of the PS3 Slim fall last year.

Which basically means every fat because Other OS is a thing used to get this exploit done. Which means it would give about what, 30 mln. vulnerable Fat PS3's out there.

Oh yeah a firmware update can't do sh!t, its on a basic hardware level that is designed wrong. So Sony can update what they want this exploit stays.

The only thing Id like to see hackable is homebrews for ps2/360/nintendo games. If ps3 games remain unhackable that be better for Sony and still good for us that like to be mischevious w/ our playstations.

Well this is thankfully still a long way away from anything that will help the pirates.

Judging by the quality of work shown in the pics, I really don't know if I would trust this guy. Sure it may work for a while but who knows what will happen a year later. This guy's soldering is pathetic as well as his automotive parts store wire he is using. Oh and grounding by "just wrap a wire around any of the metal screws" is more than foolish. This guy is obviously not any sort of technician or anyone with experience working with electronics. He doesn't even mention grounding yourself to prevent static discharge that could easily brick your PS3. I'm not going to take apart my PS3 to do some hack mod to it like this. That's like letting a redneck fix a Ferrari with duct tape and a hammer. If anyone tries this, lets us know how it works out for you but I'd try to do a better job than this half-assed bullshit.

Roll up, roll up...

Frag your PS3 for free by following these simples instructions, and if it happens to not blow up... you'll get banned from PSN!

I wonder how many stupid people will do this, they'll never get around Sony's method bannage, they may be able to hack the system but they won't be able to change the MAC Addresses!

I give by summer or alittle afterwards that the ps3 will be hacked. I can't wait

with a FW update - just removing the link to otherOS would be enough but I doubt Sony will do anything about it as this alleged hack is harmless.

What I copied/pasted explains why you can't bypass the SPU, admit you are too stupid to understand anything of it unlike me who studies computer science (Technische Informatik, Dipl-Ing.) at a prestigious German university. ;-)

Geohot goes "back to life" after "almost hacking" PS3 and a friend of a friend of a PSP hacker knows it's real but he doesn't want to tell us why. Yeah, it's a real deal but a pretty useless one... Move along, nothing to see here, the only real deal is JTAG hack: the xbox 360 is close to being fully exploited just like the original xbox - google JTAG XBR v3 :) I promise I'll often be around here to remind you what a prick you are.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
