They've named it PsGroove and you need a programmable USB device like the AT90USBKEY.

These previously sold in Australia for about AU$40, but everyone is out of stock and the one company that seems to be getting stock tomorrow now lists them at $110 + postage

There are similar supply problems across online retailers world wide

The restrictions in the homebrew mod that stopped the copying software from running can be removed with a patch that's available online.

*cough*

may allow for it to not get f***ed over in the courts

Not much they can do in this case though, it'd be like trying to ban blank cd's.

Someone tried to post this in another thread, I think, and I'm not sure I see it in this one?

The PS3 jailbreak is available open source and you can DIY it.

It's about 4 posts about yours.

so anyone gonna try it and let us know how it goes?

I would if I had a Teensy++ USB stick lying around, which I don't. Can't even buy them now, they're all sold out.

There's currently projects in the works to get the hack working from homebrew capable PSPs and jailbroken iPhones. Will be interesting to see what shakes out of those.

Main point of note is still that if you want homebrew on your PS3, don't be updating beyond the current firmware. Surely can't be too much longer before Sony rollout an update that plugs the hole.

The hack seems to work by funking with the USB software in the PS3, so it seems (to this laymen) that it will be able to be messed with by other devices like android/ios/windows/linux and that it will also be able to be easily fixed by Sony.

My PS3 is currently blocked from the internet in anticipation of a forced patch (which Sony allowed themselves to do in recent changes to the T&C with a PS3 update)

Looks like Sony won the court case today. The court named the Chinese company that supplied the device, named their bank account, and have demanded that all stock be turned over to Sony's lawyers.

Thanks to my long standing and well known interest in programmable usb boards I think it's time to finally fork out for a AT90USBKey and start programming my own USB devices. I wish i'd bought one two years ago when I first got interested, not now that they are priced double.

One guy is already working on an Android port of PSGroove. Yay!

Can you explain further, ive been unable to sign into psn for a few days, yet when i run network setup on it all the tests come back fine.

Havent dont any research into the error yet, but when you said that i was wondering if im experiencing the same thing.

Can you explain further,

He unplugged the ethernet cable.

Not quite as I still need my ps3 to talk to my media servers, instead I used the router/firewall function on my modem to block all traffic to/from my ps3's ip address so it can't see the Internet.

Might be easier to just specify manual network settings and just set the default gateway to a local IP that doens't exist?

Now you can install an application called PSFreedom on your Nokia N900 and use it to "JailBreak" your PS3.

It can't be too far away that other phones offer this facility too.. I'd read yesterday of Android development, but Kararto has delivered the N900 version sooner.

well ive removed the ethernet cable just in case they do a forced update.

The iPhone port of PSFreedom has been released. You only works on older iPhones and they must be running OpeniBoot.

Allows you to play "backed up" games. Yeah, sure, no rolling eyes here.

Just say what you mean - it allows you to play pirated games.
