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."

    Best possible advice I can give to anyone soldering is not do it stoned and/or naked. I know that may sound strange and unbelievable, but when you get stoned you tend to try to do your favorite hobbies in new and exciting ways.

    My particular mistake was being distracted by the awe and wonderment of solder turning into a liquid and not realizing that it had pooled on the table and then started a river of molten hot excitement over the edge, down my stomach, across my penis, and then a waterfall of exquisite, transcendental, and searing heat/pain/dear-fucking-god-thats-hot of solder across both my testicles.

    I realize this PSA might be for a small demographic here on Slashdot, but trust me, it's an important one.

    Hmm, is there a "too informative" mod?
