Hardware hackers claim PS3 crack!

Then it has already been made redundant, USB functionability was removed in software version 3.42....JohnF111

Wouldnt be surprised if they released that update...i mean it is a security vulnerability to the console itself

[QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="ShadowriverUB"]

But Sony have something more, firmware source code

ShadowriverUB

Or change the method, outside USB

That would financially damage the company enough, that when hackers find another alternate it'll be another glorious waste. Removing linux was easy after Hello World came through.

This isn't.

Which is why MS and Nintendo struggle to stop hacks on their systems.

[QUOTE="ShadowriverUB"]

Sony can patch it out by removeing USB boot funtions and change servicing methods

skrat_01

So i guess these people are content with playing single player campaignes offline?

DroidPhysX

Yes? It's a single player campaign..what would be the point of going online?

Point is, it has still been hacked - if all of this is true.

Thats not the point, paying whatever for the hack just to play single player campaignes is a huge waste imo

not interested because you see, i'm not a dirty thief...

There is simply no reason hackers should have been trying to do this from the very start; they did it solely for their own pride even though it could accomplish nothing other than to damage the system and encourage piracy.

You're missing the point. Homebrew is alot more than simply stealing games. There are original xbox homebrew apps that still get regular updates, pretty much turns said console into a mini PC.i5750at4Ghz

This is also true. Homebrew hacks of the original Xbox propelled the rise of the likes of XBMC which is an important feeature to anyone considering acquiring a HTPC.

To my knowledge, no one has been able to burn blu ray discs....:?

PC pirates don't have to spend anything extra. The USB is pretty expensive by itself.mystervj

1. No.

2. You apparently don't need to burn a Blu-Ray disc for this to work as the games are bootable from the hard drive.

I will be REALLY peeved if they remove USB functionality, since I use my flash drive to get podcasts off my Ps3, and to put music, transfer save files to my friend's Ps3, etc.

Damn pirates. ._.

[QUOTE="SakusEnvoy"]

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] There is alot more to homebrew than piracy. Just look at the dozens of apps on the 360.i5750at4Ghz

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"][QUOTE="SakusEnvoy"] If we still had Linux, people would have had the ability to install way more apps than homebrew could or would bring to the PS3. And Linux would have not been removed were it not for hackers.

I thought they had already? :o

No, I use mine a few times a week. o.o

But allows to run homebrew that can run something else

movin_target

It's not a good position with what to do, but I don't think they would do that, they know they can't keep turning off or reducing features of the console.

Amd USB is something needed, not like Other OS

calm down people they wont remove usb usage. its too large a feature. unlike linux which although useful wasn't used that much

Yeah, I mean USB is used for a lot of media functions on consoles.

Isnt there a flurry of flawsuites about the removal of the Other OS? So we could expect a lot more if they moved USB

You guys truly belive they will remove only way to pair pads and other controllers to PS3? :lol: you can't update pads, so removal that on console side would be instiant suicide

It's sad how hackers with such great skill, take money away from companies when they can get great jobs as coders and work in the government to prevent terrorist hackers :/
