The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 19 August, 2010
PlayStation 3 has given modders and hackers a run for their money. For nearly fours years hackers have tried to create a working mod that would bypass the PS3 software protection and run homebrew applications and backups. However, there has been no real breakthroughs, until now, if you believe what PS3News has to say.
According to the site, a product called PSJailBreak will allow owners ... [ read the full article ]

It'll be available for DL soon enough. It was already modified to allow Dev consoles to boot games so the code/files are out there being worked on.

The other question is how this will affect online play.

Just wait for the code/files to hit the net so you can make your own, like the PSP JigKick did (hopefully).

Oh no doubt when it hits retail on the 27th, someone is going to exploit it to dl. In the mean time I say this.
I think what makes this hack the most amusing tho; F U SONY. You got rid of OtherOS because you feared people would do this through the Linux Exploit. This hack is done WITHOUT IT!! HAHAHA
Now give me back my OtherOS feature.

WOOT! The second it's out free I'll buy a PS3!
I expect they will copy Microsoft's ban hammer right away. Though I am sure the next patch will disable anything it can to shut this down. Like anything else of this nature patch with extreme caution!!!
I hope it's just the ban hammer though as I could care less if I ever play on-line.

I would be curious to know what they could disable without losing the functionality of playing retail games which would be illegal. If they actually disabled the USB ports, they would lose that battle quickly and be forced to re-enable them as the PS3 controllers use said ports to charge; sure it can work on any USB port device, but what if the PS3 was the only thing you owned.
They would still be taking away a hardware functionality. Software wise, again they can't attack the USB stick directly, they can try to block where the software gets used, but if the stick doesn't require installation to the PS3, again where are you gonna block it? They can't write software to that USB key to tell it to stop, so again nothing they can do that way.
Even still, Sony will not act immediately on this until they see mass production; I can then see them do what Nintendo does with the R4 series chip on the DS, and try to shut it down, but then once the keys are produced, they will always find another outlet to be sold from. They can sue, and this is Sony, they will eventually, but again once the product is out, damage is done.

Lets say you actually need this USB Dongle for it to work because of some embedded flashable hardware built into it (thus making all USB's thumbdrives incompatible), then the work around to keep it "legal" would be to sell the Dongle without the flash and have the customer just DL the files and flash it themselves. Done. Legal. Because the Dongle is empty...either way I can wait a little bit longer until a free double hacked version hits the net.
As far Sony "removing" USB functionality ~ impossible. They need it for syncing controllers, PS Eye and for the upcoming PS Move. And if this is anything like the PSP Jig Kick/Pandora battery then it is highly doubtful it can be patched to go away easily.

This is confirmed by trusted members in the scene (RichDevX, CJPC, xorloser, Mathieulh etc). Not just random no namers.

i think everyone is forgetting the makers of the game genie set the outcome of this with nintendo in court. no hardware/software changes are made to the system once the usb device is removed.it would come down to the files left/coppied to the hard drive that will be the focus of this device being banned.since the fat ps3 has a hard drive and was made to use a linux os it would be a hard battle for sony to try to stop 3rd parties from storing files on the system

Though with anything of this nature, I'm skeptical until I see it and use it. I got excited over nothing when SAK for OtherOS was announced a long while ago, and you probably understand that feeling too. Then again, it's retailing for $170, so I won't even use it until it's cracked for use on any stick.

I agree 100% though as it stands even right now I am still just slightly skeptical....which is why I am going to wait until a free version releases to quote RichDevX ~ "I hope nobody gave them money" & because of this as well "a FREE PS3 scene solution is bound to surface"

a week after this comes out Sony will make you update to FW 3.42 and will kill this entire thing. Sounds like a waste to me.

The Dongle disables having to update, plus as I said, if it is anything like the PSP Pandora then there is not much Sony can do just like the PSP.

All info I have come up with is you put in an original game, rip it to either the internal HDD or an external HDD and simply play them using the Backup Manager. Still don't know a few things yet ~
1) Will a current net DL work or will they be incompatible
2) Does booting off BD-R's work or will they be incompatible
3) Will the external HDD have to be formatted in a special format and will/can it be seen when hooked to a PC

Nice!
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

The page to order the flash drive states that the external drive is formatted as FAT32. That would be universally compatible with any OS.

The little tiny donlge called PS Jailbreak allows you to dump all of your original PS3 games onto a FAT32 harddrive, and play the game directly from there.

So... either only games thats under 4gb can be stored to the external drive or the game is saved as files and not as 1 big image file.

Yep and just found out they are working on NTFS as well.

I was wondering about that as well but they say it is compatible with ALL games....
