Would you pay 150$ for this USB MOD? and you will still have to copy or download 50GB games, so it will be 150$ 100$ for a decent 1TB HDD = 250$ which you could use to buy 5 or 7 genuine games AND play them ONLINE without fear of getting your PS3 bricked.

Not to mention the fact that, as soon as Sony gets wind of this, you won't be able to play online or, indeed, connect to PSN in any way. No more trophies. No more online play. No more PS Store. Hell, no more games which require the new firmware.

It's pretty good work, way better than anyone else has done (even geohotz), but it's ridiculously flimsy.

Seems to me that some people just will not le go of the fact that the ps3 is...hacked.

It lasted a long time,it`s a very tricky machine for hackers,but...it got hacked.

All you need is a 160$ dongle and about 20-40gb free on your pc hdd and your ps3 hdd.

No mod chip,no Sony update that kills the dongle. Just the price of 3 ps3 games (160$).

It's been hacked. It's been hacked remarkably well. It hasn't been hacked in a way that will make piracy easy, and it hasn't been hacked in a way which would make the hack particularly difficult to remove.
