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.
God Pojut, do you have to do these useless oneliner comments on every story just to advertise your blog and other shit? It's starting to get ridiculous.
Well, it seems to be France has much better leadership than we've been dealing with for the last several years. Especially now.
Which isn't much different from the Xbox360 side of things, really. It's harder for Microsoft to detect you, but do something stupid like play a game before the release date means Microsoft knows your Xbox360 isn't completely kosher. Some lame DVD hacks are also detectable by Xbox Live. Not too sure about the latest JTAG hacks, but I guess a multilayered checksum might also detect it.
But considering most of my PS3 games are single player, and the multiplayer ones I tend to get for Xbox360, seems a perfect way to get repaid for the loss of OtherOS. I finally have a reason to update my PS3.
*My* standard of living in the US is much better than what I'd get in France. Universal Health Care? Pass, I prefer my Health Spending Account thanks. Cute French Girls? Pass, have you ever slept with a French woman? *shivers* Good Restaurants and Culture? *sigh* Sir or mam, you need to travel a bit more. France is good at one thing: Being mediocre.
Whats a Sony? I've got an X-box 360, DS and a Dell. What do I need a Sony for?
