Sony Halts Sales of PS3 Jailbreak Dongle

Posted by Soulskill on Friday August 27, 2010 @03:39AM from the party's-over dept.

An anonymous reader tips news that "Online Australian retailer Quantronics has been ordered by the Federal Court of Australia, Victoria District Registry on the 26 August 2010 to halt PS JailBreak PS3 modchip sales and distribution." The court order (.DOC) indicates this injunction will hold until a hearing on August 31. Another reader points out related news that a German website claims to have reverse engineered the hack, finding it to be a newly-developed exploit rather than a clone of Sony's JIG module (original in German). Sony has already been banning users of the modchip when detected.

"I can't escape that. "
Which is why your opinion doesn't matter to them, and is the equivalent of saying "I don't like the view from under this queening stool!". :P
"Oh, and guess what? I buy all your games USED."
Indirectly subsidising their business model is still subsidising their business model.
