People still don't know who actually wrote the code or made the original device.Quote:

They have patched it in the latest OS update, but as long as you dont update it will still work. Just like with any hack its just a matter of time untill the OS update is patched aswell.
Sony did pump a lot of money in to making it PS3 unhackable, thats why it took so long to do it. Now that its done they are pumping even more money in to sueing everyone who is selling it overseas, even ebayers. As well as suing them for selling it they are trying to sue for the use of 'PS' in the name of the devise and software.
Sorry mate but it's also getting harder to find one overseas. For example, in Hong Kong which was once (probably still is), THE place to get any console modded, the local feds caught on quickly and raided all the shops which sold it. They've now banned the selling and importation of the device and anyone caught faces huge fines and imprisonment.Quote:

Got proof? China has never realy done much to counter piracy, why would they all of a sudden raid places and imprison people over a trivial issue such as console modding. You can still buy Jailbreak online but its not needed anymore as you can use Freedom and Groove which are not illigal to be sold in australia.Quote:

PS3 sux online anyway, thats what xbox is for.
Back to GT5...
Pre-ordered mine. Can't wait!
Thanks for that, just spent **** loads on there.
Great website.
I only saw it on the news on asian satellite tv. Don't know about the rest of China, but you'd be surprised how much the authorities in Hong Kong are cracking down on these things. They had the whole making it public sort of announcement, putting all the devices on display, bit like when our feds here make a major drug bust.Quote:

I'd say we'll have quite an online racing league :cool:
