First, I'll translate the new and below that, I'll post the new in Spanish.

Translation:

The PS3 scene advances at gigantic steps, everything goes too fast for Sony, who to this day still hasn't managed to stop the titanic advance of the pirates. They could load backups, they could access online, so it was a matter of time for them to be able to download content (you know, like games in PS store, DLC, add-ons, that kind of stuff) from PS Store for free.

They've managed to do it in the easiest way possible, they only need someone to buy said content without installing it, but leaving it in the PS3's XMB. Immediatly, they connect (the PS3?) with the PC and search for a folder inside the Hard Drive where the file is stored.

That file can only be installed in the PS3 that downloaded it, but it comes along 3 files, in which, inside one of them there's a web address (a link :P) that, after pasting it in the PC's internet browser, it lets you download the DLC or whatever content you downloaded from the store instantly. Once stored in the PC, it can be transfered to the PS3 and it can be installed without any trouble. The most impressive thing is that you can download the file unlimited times with that link.

It's that easy, you get a link, put it in the browser and you automatically download the file. The process has 2 downsides, one is that someone will have to buy the content first, and the other one is that you can't do this if the file you download gets automatically installed in the PS3 without going through the XMB. Bad news because it also seems that they can download the online passes from FIFA11, The Sims 3 and Medal of Honor with the same method, amongst others (other online passes).


It seems like there are no limits for the PS3 hackers, let's hope Sony acts fast and gets rid of all these problems, because seriously, this isn't good for anyone.

 

The new in Spanish:

La scene de la PS3 avanza a pasos agigantados, todo va demasiado rapido para Sony que a dia de hoy no ha conseguido todavia remediar el avance titanico de los piratas . Podian cargar backups, podian acceder al online, asi que era cuestion de tiempo que pudieran bajar contenido de pago gratuitamente.

Lo han conseguido de la manera mas sencilla posible, tan solo hace falta que alguien se compre dicho contenido, y no lo instale, sino lo deje en el XMB de la PS3. Inmediatamente, se conectan con el PC y buscan dentro del disco duro una carpeta  donde esta guardado el archivo.

Ese archivo solo sirve para instalarse en la propia PS3, pero resulta que viene acompañado de 3 archivos, en el cual, dentro de uno de ellos aparece una direccion web que al poner en el navegador del PC, te descarga instantaneamente el DLC o lo que quieras que te hayas descargado de la store. Una vez en el PC se puede pasar a la PS3 y lo instala sin problemas. Lo mas fascinante esque con ese link se pueden descargar infinita veces.

Así de fácil, cuelgan un link en internet, lo pones en el navegador y automáticamente te bajas el archivo. El proceso tiene dos pegas, por un lado alguien debe comprarlo en primer lugar, y por otro lado si un archivo se instala automáticamente en la PS3 sin pasar por el XMB no pueden hacerlo. Malas noticias también porque parece que están consiguiendo por el mismo método los pases online de FIFA 11, los sims 3 y Medal of Honor, entre otros.

Parece que no hay límites para los hackers con la PS3, esperemos que Sony actue rápido y se libre de todos estos follones, porque la verdad, esto no viene bien a nadie.

EDIT: Edited mistranslation of the word "follones". Here's what my bad translation was like before the edit, lol: It seems like there are no limits for the PS3 hackers, let's hope Sony acts fast and gets rid of all these f*ckers (? how do you translate "follones"? lol), because seriously, this isn't good for anyone.

Edit: Yes!! Thanks Hotz, I have been able to run all those apps on MY PS3!!! It was totally worth having all these hackers download free stuff and ruin online gaming for many in Call of Duty games. Thank you!! I love you!!

Just wanted to point out that downloading paid content for free from the provider itself isn't new; in 2008 'hackers' figured out how to download any software off the appstore for free with a jailbroken iPhone. This functionality remains to this day.

I don't see the big deal. WiiWare/VC/Steam/XBLA/AppStore games are available for free if you know where to look. Sony may now experience what all their competitors have for years already.



Demon's Souls Official Thread  | Currently playing: Left 4 Dead 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Magicka

sony has done nothing but suck there thums ever since this hack came out.. they need to hurry the f**k up and fix it and ban every hacker they see



Idiots, up until this point they merely hacked softrware and whatever now they crossed the line to stealing.  This is different than downloading a torrent of a game and playing because now you are downloading straight from Sony and therefore making use of their bandwidth and thus it enters a whole new area of illegality.

What the hell is it with Sony and security. First the random number and now a direct link that doesn't take any verification with the server.



i love how that they are connecting to SONY servers that have ip tracking for information collection on what people buy and where for showing developers on where to focus with there title for PSN. 

Unless they manage not to get tracked by SONY, they are most likely going to get the hammer on them by sony.



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

In this context, follones means problems. It's probable that the link is from a spanish page, and in Spain follones hasn't much to do with follar.



When will Final Fantasy Versus XIII release?



Holy smokes!
