A Spanish site claims to have successfully clone the PSjb and will be available for sale soon.
To quote:
That is now three days since the announcement of the hack the PS3 has been proven to create excitement on the web. When everyone realized that the long awaited hack console Nippon boiled down to a dongle with a USB output (at a price a bit High), the question on everyone’s lips was “is there an alternative ?, clones … like the linker? “.
The answer is do not wait and made positive, in fact already found on the web advertisements for the first clones, it was still very little information on the selling price of these new “jailbreak” for PS3 or when they are available. What is certain is that for the moment, no team has revealed the list of components necessary for its implementation so that the most talented in electronic solders and can make their dongle HomeMade.
Now we don’t know if it is real or not, but the devs smell it as a fake. But as of now there is no confirmation so we advise you guys to not but this till we have solid confirmation and proof of this working.

yeah clones might be fun and all,but for those with the misfortune just owning a ps3. think what we are really waiting on is a DIY version. witch might not even be possible . the fact is that every pic of the clone shows a usb with more internals then the original JIG that we all have seen. so this brings up the question is it just software on a usb drive with a certain chip-set, or could this be all software. so i think the right move for right now is have someone do a little reseach on the chip and see what other usbdrives use it and maybe we can stall compiling a list of possible thumbdrives for the jig.
again just ideas as always

smells a bit fishy to me. If it's a clone why is it so vastly different.. i'll tell you why, it's because the pic you see if simply a USB stick with x3jailbreak.com printed on them :D
Rumour has it that these will retail for £60 lol :/

I dont think this is fake, they have agreed to send a sample to be reviewed, will post back with the proof when it arrives and will also find out pricing. :D

thanks for the credit bud, just a little correction they are French no Spanish Pirate.
Thoughts on this, well the card has been mapped and there are people already trying to reverse engineer it as we talk, but isn't it a little bit to soon??

This thing would have been dumped along time ago if the right people had but, but today the first shipment gets sent to distributors so hopefully we'll hear something.

yea I would also love to test it.
There is another site called ps3key.com now no info on it but it could be a new clone (or fake) or maybe they are just getting the site ready for when they do clone it
