    PS3 Jailbreak?

    So the XBOX 360 can be jailbroken to play backups. Can the PS3 at this present time? Or is that still in the works?

    Thanks,

    sure

    Hi,

    Sure. Last autum there was a USB dongle that let you slip into "servicemode" on the PS3. If you had a filemanager on a usb stick and installed it, you could easily connect a usb hdd and install and play ps3 games. You had too reboot and start with the dongle each time you wanted to play a PS3 game. When the dongle is removed nothing has been touched in/on the hardware and your warranty is still valid.

    Firmware version is important. If you have upgraded over 3.56-3.60 then you´re outta luck. Lately i´ve seen peeps doing the own custom made firmware (CFW) in some sorts of combination with filemanagers. Havent had the time to explore it just yet.

    Cheers!

    I really want to get mine done but doesn't it mean you can't go online with the PS3 when a new update comes out? At least until the new CFW arrives?

    Yeah PSN won't work cos you need a newer firmware for that.3.55 and below can be hacked at the moment and there's no way of downgrading from anything higher that I know of unless you've got fat PS3 and an Infectus chip and you're handy with a soldering iron. The games and updates being released atm need a newer firmware so if the new keys aren't found soon you'll be stuck with a PS3 that can only play old games and can't go online now Sony are actively pursuing the hackers.

    ther are a few newer games that require fw 3.60 that can be played on cfw 3.55 like inFAMOUS 2 / Duke Nukem Forever / Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition to name but a few. there are plenty of web sites out there with instructions on how to hack you ps3 and games to download
