PS3 Hacked via USB Dongle

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the dongle-this dept.

dlove67 writes "PSX-scene.com reports that the first PS3 modchip has been tested and confirmed to be working. Running off of a USB dongle, it appears to be relatively user friendly and claims to not void your warranty. Online gameplay works (at least for the time being). It's been a long time coming; cheers to the PS Jailbreak Guys." The video is attached below if you're curious. Can't help but point out that this wouldn't have happened if Sony hadn't decided to yank the Boot Other OS option.

    What a gay sounding word. Been around forever, but who came up with it?

    You realize the xbox 360 has a thriving indie game scene, right? Without any firmware hacks?

    For the love of whatever, please mod this up. Just one point please. I have never read truer words in my life.
