Sony Halts Sales of PS3 Jailbreak Dongle
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.
Sorry Sony, but you can't stop it now. Next stop: "Jail Break City, where people who bought your crap can enjoy it how they want".
Yeah but then you have to learn French, and you're also stuck living in France.
Some things just aren't worth it, mate.
Universal health care, cure French girls,
Why? Are they sick?

It's actually a great example of the Streisand effect...we've gotten over 500 visitors in a single day for only the fifth time since we started the site, and that number is steadily rising. Thanks, random AC who hates the fact that we contribute our time and money to nerd culture!
