Also the games that require Mandatory 5gb game files install. do i install it first or shall i just back it up.. Thanks

you remove the game data from your system, then back it up, then run it. it should install the game data off the backup, from what i know.

LOL it must be Sony Reps Crying.. Maemo has over taken there PS3 LOL

LOL this is not a show an entertainment site.
Anyway, what if SONY really is going to banned every one who uses this? But how are they managed to track this down? lol Unless they banned the N900 from plugging into the PS3 perminently. They can banned the USBs but as long the N900 is not the USB with those chips builtin. They can't just banned all the N900.

The only way for SONY to find out is via Online Software update. And planting a seed of virus inside their own system to constantly sending information back to the head quarter.

But this is human right violation, stealing private or collecting people information without their acknowledgement is illegal.

I think SONY won't win against Jailbreaking, but they will win against the xJailbreaker USBs device company. Otherwise SONY has to suing NOKIA for created the N900 with USB slave mode. lol

Anyway, I got the games and bought the damn games, I wanted the games to be able to run off my HDD, I hate the loading time, and I am worrying about my Blu-Ray lense.

I got 500GB in my 60g PS3 and yet this jailbreaking things would help me keeping my game safe from scratching.

Also I'm pre-ordered the GT5 collector Edition, I have already paid $100NZD in cash and trade-in 2 of my games and still owing $40NZD.

So I'm not really pirating, nor you guys are. We just want our gaming experience to be better, rather than just play waiting game while the damn game loading.

Don't you guys agreed with me?

I do agree with you but it’s all up to Sony if they agree with us?? it’s going to be obvious that people will be get banned as if they have hacked there systems remember Xbox they banned more them 2million users for hacking into their systems. Really best thing to do i think is buy a second PS3 and use that one for online that’s if online matters to you?? Also as Sony roll out new firmware’s the PS3 is going to just get better, and as I have hacked my PS3 im never going to go online with it Ever, until I get my second PS3 it’s not worth the getting banned by Sony..

Yeah I agreed, but how would they manage to do this?
If you don't play the game online or connect to the internet and do not sign into the PSN store while playing the game then they won't know about it. I am sure that XBOX 360 users got banned because they are playing the game online. I'm not going to get another PS3 lol, I don't even have space to put it on my desk. All the precious space is belonging to my Rare species 60G PAL PS3. I dedicated all the free air flow and constantly wiping it with the microfire clothe to keep the dust off it.

I would consider buying another PS3 only if it gone below the 250NZD marks. Buying another PS3 is more expensive than buying the game

I've been using homebrew on my PS3 for over 2years now (to Play PS2 backup games) and Sony didn't really do anything to it .
The reason is obvious that Not many people have access to get it to work, but this Jailbreak is a serious new threat to SONY. They have lost billions on promoting and selling the console since launch. But they are starting to making a bit of profile to recovered the lost and yet this hack is found during the time that they are trying to regain the stability in the industry.

GT5 is going to be sick, but this jailbreak will deappreciating the work of the GT5 developer, they spent over 5years to make this game. I actually preorder this game without hesitation, because I think Polyphonic deserves my hard earning cash. Even though it's quite over priced in New Zealand.

On the other hand why don't we just buy another HDD and do a hot swaping whenever we want to play stuff online

If the jailbreak installed game onto the internal drive, then why not swap it with another one? one for offline and one for online. Back up the setting and restore it to each hdd

So we have 2 version of HDD to use for 2 occasions.

Agree, my PS3 blu-ray lens burned out some time ago, I changed the lens, but I'm pretty sure it will burn again.

Yeah, the lense issue is rather problematic with the PS3 FAT models.
But it should have been better if this will make SONY reconsider about making game that will run from HDD instead. And use minimal lense to seek as much as possible after the installation. For example, loading it with serial code like PS2, each game can have serial number code scrambled in the start of the section. And each installed game have to have a unique code. But this will come down to problem when people lending your games lol.

Oh well. scrambled this and redraw the scenarios.
