PS3 Jailbreaks Galore Released

Posted by timothy on from the they'll-need-a-lot-of-dogs dept.

YokimaSun writes "Following up on yesterday's story about the PS3 being hacked by one of its own official controllers, there's now a guide in English that details how to mod a Sixaxxis controller. But thanks to the very latest releases, if you don't like soldering you can now use an iPod, a Pandora console or even a Dingoo console. Finally, Jaicrab has released a USB firmware loader which will come in handy once the first custom firmware for the PS3 is released. Maybe then we will get region-free Blu-ray, PS1 and PS2 games."

    You made the right choice. Getting rid of Sony is the right thing to do. Meanwhile, watching Sony waste time, money while losing customers is entertaining. So sit back and watch how it all unfolds. And if at some point you decide you want to get another PS3? Well, I am sure once Sony makes their machines completely useless you will be able to pick one up off the side of the road somewhere.

  4. Sony entertaining even non-PS3 owners by noidentity · · Score: 4, Funny
    I don't even own a PS3 and yet Sony has been thoughtful enough to entertain me lately with all these stories of them cutting off various appendages in order to spite their face.

    You should have bought a reliable Xbox 360.
