You all really want to pay $170 though for it?

What a ripoff. 170$ for that little piece of hardware?

I really don;t want to pay 170... but considering that = about 3 new games, and the thought of having any/every game.... I probably will!:naughty:

Do you really think that this will be the only option for long?

Even at $170 you're still saving money in the long run considering brand new games are $60 a piece. So, if this was the only option available when I get a ps3 and decided to start illegally downloading games for it, then yeah, I would pay it. Especially since, unlike hacking the 360, this makes things so simple. Looks like you just plug it in and start playing(really wish something like this would happen for the 360). But I seriously doubt this will be the only option for too long.

$170 is only worth it if they provided updates IMO. :happy:

So you have the connection to download all those games at 30-450GB each one? :lol: It would be easier to join a "game rental" service such as GameFly and rent them and just rip and return..or go to the store and rent...

It only took my less than 5 minutes to flash my 360, so that was pretty simple to me :)

this article is not proven to be true, hence why they state it's out for debate right now, we need more proof as of yet :)

But I think someone will put it out there for free, remember when they were charging for the Xbox360 DVD Drive keys and Team Jungle figured out the process and made if free, I think (hopefully) maybe they will branch out and start ABGPS3 ;)

That's why they must cash in while they can.

To quote: "Sony and Panasonic have announced that they have developed a new optical disc evaluation technology that will allow the layer capacity of Blu-ray media to increase from 25GB to 33.4GB using existing Blu-ray laser diodes."

So you wouldn't be downloading anywhere near 450gb per game for along time xD

How old is that?

Bluray's are 50GB already.....

If they have to make 1:1 copies to get them to work,like the original games, it would be a 50GB Bluray, just like you see "Full Bluray's out now" right?

They have PRE'd PS3 games (anywhere from 8GB-20+GB), but who knows if those will work or not.

who ever buys this has got to be f'in dumb. its a lot of money for something that will work until Sony upgrades the firmware. Great achievement but I wonder how long it'll take for this to hit the internet anyway lol

Some sites are listing it for pre-order. £92 and a date of August 27th

From what I gather, it's the real thing, and it sounds about right. If it does work, I know one more PS3 that will reminisce upon moments of going online in-games.

Although, this seems much less elaborate than geohotz' work.

That's a fairly new article. And 50gb blu rays are dual layer. That article is refering to 33gb per layer.

geohotz is the one who cracked the iphone and is the one who's been working on cracking the PS3 forever, all I have to say is if you plan on usihg this don't update your firmware yet :) Allso, the bad thing is, if you play online, eg, maybe that DC Online game you have to update fiirmware to connect online, so I see this as, either update and the dongle not working or never update and never get online again....also, like I said above.

i was being sarcastic, i know who he is since i messed up two iphones on account of blackra1n. I glad he didn't hack it. Who knows how big his already huge ego would have gotten.

$170 in £ is bout 100 i rekon, so 2-3 games and its paid for, seems cheap to me.

I paid 80CAD for Fifa 2010. $170 is just a tad above two games in my case. I'd so take the plunge, I just need confirmation that it works.

You will know it works when some pirate groups start releasing dumps of every single released game to date.
