Because I have, I'm really into fighters and have a couple of custom modded fightsticks.  They no longer work thanks to new firmware update, a cheap fightstick by Blaze does not work either which I used to take to friends since it is tiny and easy to carry, and that is as sold in the box.

 

Sony suck balls.

Ouch that sucks. I better check my TE.

 

What pcb you were using in them?

the new update sucks balls in general, it made the XMB pretty slow

Aaargh. That sucks.

I have a modded Hori FS3, but the original PCB is still in there. It was the first thing I tested after the update because my brother and I spent hours and hours modding that thing. Works still. Silly really. I mean, surely their update can't detect things like resoldered boards etc?

Now that I think about it, I had aton of PS2 games saved to a memory card that featured compression.  That card is worthless, too!  Of course, it was well before this latest update.

I've got various controllers that don't work with PS2 games, but that's it.

This is Sony being dicks nothing to do with pirates.  Anyone who pirates the PS3 will not being going online anyway.

 

Sony are using a nuke to kill an ant, only the ant is immune to nukes anyway, screw everyone else in the blast radius.


Probably worse then that even.  Just a matter of getting money to make you rebuy their shit.

More like say, cutting off outside food sources because of disease so people are forced to buy your food... but there isn't even really a disease.

It's ridiculiously silly how much game companies can get away with due to favorable legislation.

I have no idea, bought them pre-modded from a friend of a friend a while ago.  He has a business that does it among other things.

 

I'm guessing maybe rip them apart for scrap parts to mod something ese...but the price to buy a base stick to mod will probably make it not worth it given the cost already.

It's not so hopeless. You could get it working after swapping pcb.If your friend is modder he should be awere of situation and what can be modded into it (probably sisaxis pcb is safest bet and your stick would be wireless then)

Sony already eliminated that threat with FW 3.42. Anybody planning to use/using the PS3Jailbreak cannot go online, which is why they have to stay with FW 3.41. FW 3.50 still has that same fix that was in 3.42. Pirates/PS3Jailbreak users will not be using FW 3.42, nor FW 3.50, so this will not affect them at all. For this one you can blame Sony.

yeah but disabling 3rd party usb's also insures that if they do develop another way to get them working later on they wont be able to use the usb stick method anymore at all now, the other one was just a quick fix, it also means they can still use their own usb sticks as they belong to them so they can still fix broken ps3's 

just thinking out aloud of course, why else would they disable 3rd part usb devices, it makes no sense at all....
