Wonder how this is going to play out. I see a lot of people have their doubts about this and some of them seem to have valid reasons for it as well but only time will tell. They say that it will be available in 72 hours.

I've been reading on another high profile ps3 forum about this and the amount of douche bags in this ps3 scene is like no other.

X3Max 3.5X Update

[2010/12/12]

Last week the 3.5 proof of concept video was released prematurely. There has been a lot of rumors circulating and criticism from the scene regarding our 3.5 solution. Our intention was never to get the communities hopes up in order to increase sales. The X3Max 3.5 solution is real and compatible with all existing and future models. We understand the community isn?t looking for an apology but an explanation as to why we?ve yet to release the 3.5 solution. We all witnessed how quickly the PSdowngrade was cloned ? it?s crucial the same isn?t done to our 3.5 solution. We are now taking necessary precautions before releasing it to the public so it doesn?t suffer the same fate. Our group consists of experienced developers who?ve been involved in the console scene from the beginning and have worked on many different projects. The X3Max from the jump has never been about marketing hype but about pushing the envelope. Without a doubt we?re going to continue to do this as the scene evolves. While many will label us as greedy pigs we?ve invested thousands into hardware. Truthfully as a business, one of our goals is to earn a profit while bringing the community the best development dongle that isn?t priced outrageously.

...Mathieulh, you don?t have to believe it, the video was made with a retail PS3 console. Expect the unexpected ; ).

X3Max V2GB Launch & MasterKey Announcement
Dec 12, 2010 - 8:24 PM - by The Central Scrutinizer
PSX-SCENE member InsideX3 wishes to report the following...

Earlier today it was reported that our group discovered the MasterKey ? InsideX3 has confirm this! The video released last week was done prematurely and out of excitement. Many of you are pushing for us release our 3.5 solution understandably so. I completely understand the logic that once released it?ll be cloned and truthfully that?s inevitable. At the same time we must do our best to prevent, or at least delay that from happening.




The intent of this post is not to continue the discussion of our 3.5 solution but to announce the launch of the X3Max V2GB. A 2GB MicroSD is now included and some minor alterations have been made to the retail packaging, pictures can be seen below. Our production run was finished last week and the X3Max V2GB is now in transit to all resellers.

The X3Max V2GB will be offered as a standalone kit with a RRP of $35 USD, or with the X3Switch included for $40.




To Summarize:
What is the current ETA of the 3.5 solution?
When it is done and ready for public use it?ll be immediately released.

I have an original X3Max, do I have to buy the X3Max V2GB for the 3.5 solution?
No, the X3Max hardware is identical besides the additional 2GB MicroSD. Once released, the solution will work on both units. We have no intention of dropping support for early adopters.

I?m interested in purchasing an X3Max V2GB, when will they be ready?
We finished production late last week and inventory is now in route to resellers. We expect that resellers will be fully stocked for the holiday rush by December 15th.
