the chip disables any forced updates it gives you error if you try to update
it wont you think pirates are not willing to go without psn when they can get homebrew and free games ?
the firmware blocks any updates asyouburn
the clones are coming next week they have put this up becuase they knew it was matter of time.
Your jumping to the conclusion that there will be no way of spoofing the firmware and playing online games will work fine. online is not totally out of question yes it is a low chance with how good Sony are with security but not impossible there will CF or like i said spoofing FW.
why should sales decide who is last place ? It should be AAA games and at the moment ps3 has the best and the most.
Nope the usb is micro controller Depending how simple the commands are someone might be able to emulate those commands. but lot people saying its going to be to hard there's ones coming out for £50 next week so there will cheaper options.
People talking no online is possibility but pirates willing to go with out and it could damage sales. but with this being such a hit with piracy community there will people working on spoofing the fw making possible to play online
With no games coming out after gears of war 3 ? there's not single AAA exclusive announced after gears of war 3 So how are planing to do this ?
The problem is Sony can't stop using this as used to repair corrupted ps3's. Sony have Just gone made same mistake they made psp as it was there fault Pandora battery was made becuase they left service M2 card in a psp.
No its more aimed pirates I am going to get case apart one way or another and put 250gb of my own in. like i do with all 360 when i can flash the slim.
and alan wake lol
you can 2tb external for that money thats disgusting no fanboy can defend that.
psjailbreak is down due to traffic. disabling this is not going to be easy for sony this usb forces ps3 in service mode disabling that will make hard for them fix many ps3.
why not just get 2.5tb external hdd cheper than 1x2tb and more space ?
Yes it is the usb gives you the ability of a dev ps3 meaning the ps3 emulate ps3 games so they don't need to keep burning blu rays each time when testing a game.
This bull dose this look like slim dev unit http://www.youtube.com/watc...
I can't belive theres people in this world dumb enough to think this all one big fake.
I can't believe dedicated fan boys are on here I myself am known for liking ps3/pc but can't stand there and lie to my self the ps3 has been hacked there's loads of proof.
theirs also many misinformed people thinking that you need download the blu rays At this moment in time you can not rip a blu ray to external drive from PC and can not rip iso to the drive all you can do is rip to ps3's hard drive or an external hard drive and has to be done on ps3 so you ar...
At this moment of time you can not rip a game from you computer to external hard drive your limted from borrowing from friends or renting
its not simple they can only remove the service that the usb puts the ps3 in. they can not remove service mode as Sony use it when repairing your ps3.
the only other way is to disable usb and only let give out power to charge or disable usb to the ps3 gets into the xmb as usb will not work unless you power down the console boot up with it.
People can now just rent or borrow of there friends and install it external hard drive any disc can be drive as long as there is one making copies of things you do not own is illegal.
I have just noticed why have we all got 5 bubbles ?
