Same old story.
When you start some phrase with that cliché adjective = Proud. You know that the guys behind this piece of garbage Ops! I mean this *epic* product, means serious business.
Shame that all this is crunch exclusive, that gives you a hint about what kind of product will get the one who has some extra bucks to invest on this device. (Remember DRM kings?, I do).
Don’t get me wrong on this one, on one side im happy about 3K/4K users (if this is the real deal) to get CFW running, etc but i can’t find reliable this drive emulator because the ones behind this *probably* are the same people who were DRM kings back in the day.
Some word of advice to video makers: Next time please don’t use gloves, makes you look like you are touching some outerspace device or leads to anyone with common sense that those gloves serves to hide tattoed arms, hands?. 
Thanks @stussy1Â for this one.

It only gives the ability to pirate games and play off hard drive. No homebrew=crap [MENTION=240269]Isleofdoom[/MENTION] and in order to do that they need to find a way to get the DVD key without exploiting the console. May never happen.

It all depends how you look at things honestly cfw is piracy that didn't cost anything n I have alota respect for the guys who gave every1 cfw. This is another form of piracy yes except at a cost n those who want it will buy it for there needs but on the other hand its no different than steam allowing us to back up our games to be installed later n hack n upload if we wanted

Generally speaking, any ODE device (not necessarily Cobra) can run your homebrew, you just have to make it running in a different form (selfs as game discs and not as npdrm self), This is possible because of the random fail discovery of F0F, so you can actually sign any homebrew with the 3.55(-) private keys.
But TBH, JuanNadie did mention that the 3k and 4k models have an exploitable bootldr.
Technically, it is also feasible to install cfw on those exploitable models, WITHOUT USING A HW .
But it's not an easy task, because you have to discover lv2+lv1 exploit on current ofw and then obtain your cellBE HW key.
With this, you can actually do whatever you wish to your console, decrypt & ecncrypt metldr and bootldr (you can actually change the boot order to the old revisions, as it works for cfw users today...and of course, a lot more).
01-10-2013

Unless this can run Home Brew or run your game backups on OFW straight out of the box with a backup manager like MultiMAN or alike. I do not see any fun in using it ,only to save a PS3 BD drive from fail since they do break down from allot of use. Also unless this EMU can be used on a non downgradable OFW 356+ from factory. I see noting big about this really in my opinion except progress of a real working EMU that was talked about in the past & to actual see & have one working soon.
If you have to downgrade then CFW 430 is best to stay on no need to waste your cash on this & you get all the Home Brew you ever wanted + Play all the games you want on CFW 430. It would be foolish to update to OFW & lose what CFW has to offer in my opinion. I mean i JB my PS3 for everything not just to run a EMU = would be a Boring PS3 compared to CFW. I seen some comments on other forums i could not help to lol .I "Quote" (This is the best news of 2013) I do not think so. The best news of 2013 was the day Rebug released CFW 430.1 & Rogero Released a improved CFW 430 v2.05. Enough said
Playing ISOs on OFW is nice. Would be even worth it if you did not have to downgrade, but it is not that way. Playing on OFW + ISOs on PSN => Is a perfect example = Sony will add more restriction to games, that will screw us in the future. I am not trying to be lame, but it's true. Sony do not want people playing backups on PSN. I do not like Sony to be honest & do not care but it is reality.
I will always choose CFW over anything ,i can live just fine without PSN & Sony trying to log my activities everyday while on PSN. So in general CFW 4life. This does not solve nothing, besides playing ISO on OFW / PSN & attracting the wrong attention + save your BD drive which you can do on CFW anyways ,being you have to extract your key first ,so why not stay on CFW 430x?.

This device would be useless if it doesn't support games in folder format.
01-10-2013
02:28 AM
No offence guys but I for one think this device is an achievement. You can call it what you want, but in a technical view of the product, its quite awesome. I mean we have a drive emulator (requires a key) but once that is gotten, we have a fully emulated PS3 Drive, which will to the quality of the image emulate a real hard-copy disk. This is a totally different approach and since there is no competition its not a "rip-off" it is their own work. The FPGA's are worth quite the penny without being drive emulators so I expect this to be in the $150 range (at least). Once the drive key is gone no matter what firmware you are on, it will boot the ISO because its not a software method. With this if we sign homebrew like original sub 3.56 games, it will boot (at least to my knowledge). I for one won't be buying one, because I'm cheap and i primarily use my PS3 as my video entertainment system but I give these guys props, drive emulators are hard work. Especially with a mostly undocumented hardware protocol.

that product is fu*king useless. I want a new CFW on my 3k PS3 even though it's not gonna happen for many years. Play PS3 games without using a disc = cool ! but there will be no homebrew stuff on 3k PS3 = useless!

If they can get the keys, that means that they can run their own code, which means they could create a CFW.
But the ****s want money. Money for the monthly PS3Crunch tea and young boys party in GaryOPA's mom's basement while she is out buying him tampons.
01-10-2013
04:03 AM
On the other hand I really hope that true devs will discover how they managed to extract the key and post the code all over the web. This will **** cobras business plan and clones will appear. it's not the perfect solution, but it's less money for the bastards. finally a CFW will appear and we'll have a FREE ps3 scene again
01-10-2013

After all this kind of *solutions* if they speak the truth not like E3
So far, so good. They are doing fine.
Something easy to understand, there's no rules on this game called *dirty* business. Is better sell an ideal or your soul for some money than release this for free.
I don't blame though, they always operated like this.
People will buy no matter what if they can afford the product and if it's good well...we will see what happens next.
01-10-2013
04:21 AM
Also they claim it will work on the new versions, but they also state that work is still in progress on getting the key's for those new versions, which to me means, that it still doesn't work (and might not even work) on new versions...
01-10-2013
04:56 AM
This is pure bull****
1. This will NOT WORK on updated ps3
2. If your on cfw then what is the need for this
please if your on a updated ps3 this will not work
so what is the point ?
you need dvdkeys that only cfw can get so its not going to open any thing
up like people above are saying
all you users on a updated ps3 keep dreaming this is not your answer

05:04 AM
I reakon it's just a selling scam for 3000+ models I doubt they will ever obtain the keys team wasabi said they where going to get auto extract key on phat never happend so I had to get key myself the main purpose I got it for but still happy I got it just a scam

well the wording states that it does not work on unexploitable consoles so nothing new here.
phats/slims/superslims(on exploitable consoles)
chances are that they worded it to include superslims in the hope that people will rush out and buy without reading properly. they are working on it for unexploitables doesnt mean they can do it
01-10-2013
05:56 AM
"Work is in progress for key extraction on non exploitable consoles."
so a lot of hot air till now! or did they show anything we cannot do right now? as in "boot games off HDD on a 3K/4K console"???
01-10-2013
06:08 AM
perhaps they should start posting about it when they have the famous keys
01-10-2013
06:27 AM
Im still a bit confused. Why is everyone STILL rejoicing at this device so soon?
Lets spell it out one more time
*To make this device work, you need to extract your blu ray drive key so it can work
with the device
*No drive key = NO WAY TO GET THIS THING TO WORK!
*The only way to get your drive key is to be on CFW already and if you buy this and
have CFW already, you are a sad mammal. CFW is MUCH better and if you want to pirate,
every game is playable on Rogero/Rebug 4.30 CFW unless you really really want PSN.
Personally I would NEVER give up my CFW machine for PSN
Like [MENTION=207476]bubbleboy[/MENTION] said, they would have to make a non hackable ps3 run some type of their own code to extract the drive key from 3k and 4k models which is what the whole problem with 3k and 4k models is, they arent hackable so you cant run your own code!
If you are a 3k or 4k owner don't get too excited as they are FAR FROM the first people trying to run their own code on new 3k, 4k ps3s.
Cobra is making crap putting peoples hopes up in my opinion stating "This is compatible with phat/slim and super slim". It simply isnt...if they are not hacked.Period. Unless a miracle happens which puts us at square one again with regards to 3k and 4k models.

01-10-2013
09:04 AM
I think they have found the way to extract the BD keys from OFW but they are making some kind of DRM system for obtaining the keys and yet not release the method in public so other than cobra no one can obtain the BD keys (something like bluedisk did)
But this is just what I think

[MENTION=111079]bearmon2010[/MENTION] Free is true ,but also common sense is another
Why would anyone in there right mind "Anyone" update to OFW.Our PS3 ,Will be on lock down = AGAIN "Ridiculous"
Taking the PS3 scene out of the PS3, is not something good. In reality is not taking ownership of your PS3 .You would be closing it again..
Now, for OFW straight out the box & no need to downgrade would be different story. If they were smart ,finding a way is the only way for real success, get the key without CFW ,or get the key using OFW BD drive in a CFW PS3 if even possible. Then they may sell many of them.
_________________________________________________________________
I wonder if you buy a new PS3 on OFW, take out the BD drive / Slip it into a CFW PS3 .Attempt to dump the key, would it dump the needed key for the BD drive from OFW .? That i like to know & i think would be the only way i can think of to get the key, but is kinda messy.
I am no expert in this BD drives but is the only thing i can think of..? I like to see this through & see how dumping the key is done.

Honestly if this allows me to play GT5 from the HDD of my non downgradeable PS3 then I think this is a fantastic Idea until somebody figures out a way to allow me to install CFW on my CECH300** non downgradable and non hackable PS3.

And these things can't be hacked its hardware and the 2highspeed FPGA plays a big part in these units. One of them stores data I know that much but I will have to find out more from a buddy who deals with these constantly

The only option for 3000/4000 consoles is getting the per console boot key, but I don't believe that they are talking about extracting that.
Although it could be possible if they can somehow derive the drive key from intercepting the data transfer and there is a correlation between the drive key and the boot key. It's also possible that there is a correlation between the boot key, drive key & Ethernet MAC code.
01-10-2013

I have woundered if you could take a ps3 with custom fw 4.30 and swap out the one with ofw 3K or 4K with memdump or multiman installed to get a dump. i dnt have a 3k or 4k model but was just a thought

I wasn't refuting to the drive key but if you have a data dump you may get some data that is needed for a cfw but as I said not sure if that would work. Another possibility wod be to use Ethernet

No different to cfw as far as I can see..
Whats the difference between this and that E3key thingy thats supposed to be rolling out soon?
01-10-2013
03:32 PM
You would need the private keys, and the private keys only to make a cfw working.
An other option is an exploit, but that's not an easy option as it's very difficult to find an exploit.
[MENTION=240269]Isleofdoom[/MENTION]
01-10-2013
03:40 PM
However it's likely that the detection can be circumvented, so as long as you check to make sure it's safe before you upgrade then you'll be fine. They are likely to keep wanting to sell them, so they'll produce updates. For CFW we could have another long gap if Sony aggressively try to protect their firmware again.
It probably is very similar to the E3key one in concept and it'll just be a race to whoever can fill in the details first of the most wanted features. I imagine that they've both had it working using drive keys obtained using CFW for a while.
01-10-2013
04:11 PM
This would have been awesome news a year ago but now it's just meh
01-10-2013
04:35 PM
Only reason this would be any interesting, is if they somehow managed to extract the drive key without you being on a custom firmware first. A hardware solution that is the ODE, for instance. That way even people on non-jailbroken/non-downgradable consoles could play "backups". And let's not fool ourselves, that is what the vast majority of people on jailbroken PS3s cares about. Hell, even homebrew developers on this forum take screenshots of them using "backups" from torrent directories to test things.
I don't see many people, already on CFW/DEX consoles, willing to shell out money for this. Those can always play the newest games as it is, and have homebrew without the need to jump through hoops. What good does that do them? Oh, being able to be on OFW. Granted, that's nice. But how long will that last, though? Are we sure Sony cannot push out a firmware update and put an end to this, and simultaneously console ban you as well, as an added bonus? Then what? You are stuck on OFW, unless you hardware downgrade again.
I fail to see the point of this. If anything, if you think about buying this for some stupid reason (unless 3k/4k models can be done out of the box, ODE only), wait a few months, 3-4, I would say, to see how it develops. Whether Sony can/has already banned it, or if it's good to go for the long run.
And as far as the infantile bashing of the device goes: It's a hardware based solution. Not a re-drm device. More Flasher than dongle. What do you want them to do? Let you download the hardware? Even if they were to tell you exactly how it's done, all it would do is make other companies produce clone devices. Those still would cost money, and, by those companies shaving off costs, and bringing you a less reliable hardware, save you a few bucks. Or you would have to build one yourself, which would end up costing the same. Or even more, if you were to include the man hours building the device.
If it's the principle, well... welcome to the real world, where people have to pay bills. Sorry if you don't have a skillset that makes you rake in more money with less work.

You also need to be on CFW to get this Chode working in the first place....
01-10-2013
05:42 PM
However, we both agree, that this is not enough. I even called it pointless myself. I went as far as to say, that nobody on a jailbroken PS3 would want to buy it.
I am just being fair, and don't enjoy seeing a witch hunt, I guess.

05:50 PM
These ass hats with their unneeded devices ?
CrunchTards like garyOPA ?
No, they care too much about making money and ripping off the young and vulnerable.
So why should we be fair towards them ?
The fact is, this device works on OFW, once you get your keys, but the same effect can be done via CFW, of course the only difference is you wont be on OFW.
01-10-2013
06:01 PM
I can't tell you why you should be fair, and I am definitely not here to change your mind. I simply stated my opinion on the matter. Then again, one could argue, that as an important personality on the website that is the "official hacking scene of the PS3", one should expect you to keep a minimum of objectivity on these matters. But maybe that's expected too much of a thing one does as a hobby. But other than that, I see no reason for why you should be. I spoke for myself, not anyone else.
Yes, that truly is a fact. But see, the whole point of the device is to not have to be on CFW. No waiting for Rogero, team Rebug, or any others to catch up with Sony's newest, useless, update, but instead right away being in a ready-to-go state. You and I find that absolutely useless. Especially since it can, and most likely will, be detected. Others may not.
P.S. "Ripping off the young and the vulnerable" made me think of: [spoiler]

to connect an ODE you need your bluray key, so, if i have a ps3 on cfw and a super slim, take off the super slim drive, connect it on the 3.55 one and use the remarry bluray drive method, can i obtain the bluray key?

That's the main problem on this situation, most of this users don't know what waiting for something means and that's when **** happens.
We have another *DRM strategy* around but with an ODE label on it.
You know that carl, better than me.
If certain users don't grow patience enough, so beat it.
Like you said even if sony releases another useless OFW, we will have to wait for rogero/rebug/cobra (you name them).
Key to success is wait and see.

Really guys this is a good news....I was waiting for this since past 1 yr...I have some questions and I believe that u experts will sort it out.
1)I know that this is nothing related to jailbreak but its like a virtual drive...will this be successful according to u all?
2)Will this work on all models and will it work on all ofw in present as well as future.
3)I just wanted to play pirated games on my ps3 cech 3008b...is this the product bst suited for me?
Thnx
01-11-2013
01:25 PM
Yes according to what they said it will work on all models
actually not too sure about the Newer Slim one that just came out
And your third question.......I can't believe you actually asked that. XD Did you not read any of the posts? Or read the info from the Cobra ODE site????

Let me see if I got this right, and please correct me if I am wrong. But for this device to work you:
Is this correct? Because if so, the free solution is even better, than what they offer. Their only selling point is absolutely moot, if you truly need to be on a jailbroken PS3, to get the damned thing to work.

as for me, I am on OFW 4.31. I only want this to play backups of my games. My server does everything most of the homebrew would do on a PS3 anyway. So I don't care about all the homebrew. Not that I do not respect all the work done, but it is just something I do not need.
Could I go an buy a flasher? Sure. But if I do not have to open the box at all, and I only want to run backups, why bother flashing?
Plus, as far as making money goes, flashers cost money too. Someone is making money from that.
01-12-2013
09:06 PM
Either way console needs opened and you need to flash down at this present time. So in flashing down to cfw you have your needs. Why pay extra to install something you already have at your finger tips. You clearly don't grasp the fact that this device produces nothing that cfw has to offer.

01:38 PM
Let me put it in simple terms and hope someone reads this before getting in more fights, especially all those determined to pick a fight for no good reason :-
1. For someone playing HAPPILY on CFW this is of no use. Note I wont include PSN here since I dont like CFW on PSN - but thats just me, but they have homebrew as well.
2. The only people who will benefit is ones that prefer to stay on OFW and still want to run backups, at the expense of homebrew. A pro here is that you're less likely to be banned, but beware, they might be able to detect the device if they do their job properly in future.
3. The only time this will become a real viable product is when they figure out how to get the key without the need of CFW during installation. In this case all those lads whos dog stepped on the controller and updated their system will have a way to play backups, or the ones with the newer consoles.

If the above would work, and if they work out a hardware solution to get the drive key, then this may lead to payloads being loaded via homebrew and thus making any PS3 hackable.

===============================
My opinion about this *device* and negative feedback from my part, it's my view, my point of view/opinion/etc that won't *affect* anyone who is willing to spend some bucks on this piece of **** that i don't like.
Is MY opinion about THIS product.
MY opinion is based in one year of frontpaging the same **** from the same place. I can start naming those ****tards from E3 and keep on going to name all of them because it's not use for me. I learned that a while ago.
Im not saying to the users *Don't purchase this device because i don't like it* Im just saying : I WON'T PURCHASE THIS PIECE OF ****, DEVICE because I (me) DON'T LIKE IT.
Now i can picture all the hype this **** will bring to the new ones and the ignorant ones that will spend their money (not mine) on something that has *DRM Style* all over the place.
Where the exclusives of this DEVICE come from?. It's easy, plain and simple. (google them)
If people want to be blind i don't blame them, if others want to make money because those people are idiots plus BLIND and potential buyers. I don't blame them either.
Because:
1) It's their pocket and it's their money.
Hope is clear enough.
Sadly and i hope time proves me wrong, this will turn the same **** like DRM *era*.
I don't fill my pockets with HAX, i don't get paid for saying that some **** is cool when is not. Neither someone is telling me to what to say or not.
That's the difference. BIG difference.
All that the *other side* done so far was making profit (AKA = Dirty business) even with their own community.

peace out ****** talk to me when u can speak english and when i remove your d!ck from my mouth t'ill then u can continued this post by urself or with ur friends all future replies will be ignored
with this device u get ps1 ISO ps2 ISO BD iso DVD ISO PSN on OFW ntfs suport those are all ode exclusives and yes dongles have no exclusives but this is not a dongle it has no drm if this is a drm hardware then all modchips are drm hardware
c4eva team jungle an ck tool makes tons of money selling ixtreme product to countless xbox 360 fan and no one complain because they get what they paid for they get to play their back up online i hate dongles too i dont plan on buying a dongle but i'll buy an ode if it pans out but i know the difference between a dongle and a mod chip and an ode is a modchip its ok to say i hate this sh!t and i will never buy it but when the front page news say this thing is sh!t and mods make comment to back it up and flame anyone who say they like it its like the site is telling u what to think u must conform to the site's will i hate to rant or insult anyone because then i become the troll but i just can't stand it anymore every now and then i go on a rant but this is my final rant like you my ranting days are over no reason for me to get this upset over trivial matters or try to change ps3hax

Let's make things clear. Cobra-ODE is NOT 3k3y (that is pointless device because you need to be on CFW). But Cobra-ODE is innovative because it is compatible with all consoles and firmwares. These products are NOT the same. Also, all functions are included in the Cobra-ODE : rip games, command, ... no need to buy add-on for this.
Actually, it is a very good solution for people who owns new consoles that can not be downgraded to 3.55. They are taking presales from 100 to 120€.

Anyways, there are still alot of assumptions made here. We won't really know the facts until it is out.Alot of people are spewing rumours as fact when they have never even seen one. If it costs about the same as the purchase of two games what is the big deal here. I don't see people complaining about paying $30k for a car when it cost only $3k to make.

I will not join any debate, in fact I have just read the last post by [MENTION=185665]itskamel[/MENTION], however I will share my personal point of view on some technical details about the ISOs (When and if I acquire the circulating new ISO I will be able to be more specific).
). The Cobra Optic Drive Emulator, was probably designed to read data as the real BD-Drive reads it, so when it cannot find the original 'synchronization data', 'header', 'error check data', etc...it will most probably give read error.
Size difference between old ISOs and new ISOs
From my experience coding my personal (unreleased) disc reading library for Windows, from what I understand, I will assume that the size difference its because the ISO is not really created following the ISO9660/MODE1/2048 (+UDF/Joliet/...) standard, but probably created as ISO9660/MODE1/2352 (+UDF/Joliet/...) or BIN (binary). So each sector will have 'synchronization data', and 'Error Check Data', found on Discs to allow recovery / re-creation of sector data in case of Disc Surface damages and such.
Such 'extra' data located on ISO/MODE1/2352 BIN (binary) disc images is not so evident on regular old school CD (700mb) images, size of the ISO/MODE1/2048 version of it will always be less.
I bet they didn't even include a .CUE file as well, since they are "probably" not following any standard.
Anyway, ISO9660 disc images in binary form should always be named .BIN and include a .CUE file.
There is a probability that I am wrong, maybe it is some kind of new ISO that doesn't follow any Standards (I really doubt it xD), but I will try to acquire the released "ISO" to verify it myself.
I hope that if my theory is right, these release groups choose to release future disc images as BIN/CUE, just to avoid any confusion with already circulating ISOs.
Reason to Release new "ISO"s
I doubt that the reason of releasing such "ISO"s is because Sony could detect regular ISO/MODE1/2048 (LOL
EDIT: Just to confirm my point, I made a custom disc image following ISO9660/MODE1/2352 standard of "BCES01435-[PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale]", and the resulting size is 6.75 GB, very similar indeed to the one released by "TL" group. If I made the custom disc image as ISO9660/MODE1/2048 then the resulting size would be approx. 5.84 GB.
I just need to acquire one piece of the release made by "TL" and I will be able to confirm if the ISO is a BIN named and published incorrectly without proper CUE.
EDIT2: The difference between their size is approx. 13.48% [ ((6.75 - 5.84) / 6.75) * 100 ]. So if this difference rate is same in all PS3 disc images ripped as ISO/MODE1/2352, then a 40 GB game would have approx. 5.39 GB more when saved as BIN/CUE.
SeeYa!

They said they will release a PC app that convert old Jailbreak games to new ISO format. So, everything will be done automatically. Maybe, this app will connect to their server to fetch the missing datas.

What he says is properly signed non npdrm executables.
Of course disc executables are non npdrm but what he doesn´t explain is with what keys he´s signing them with. the GeoHot 3.55 key? the way to sign on the new 3.55+ CFW?.
I understand that the ODE will make the ISO seem as an official ps3 disc with the information on it that you can´t get from burnt discs.
But don´t the EBOOTS still have to be signed with official keys since your on OFW.
or is there something I´m missing?
maybe you can ask him. i tried but I guess I didn´t explain it right becaude my question seemed to confuse him.

Remove the link if you want. I'm not discussing for you to buy this product (understood you won't). I'm discussing to make my point clear. Ok for CFW users, it is useless. A downgrade will bring so many more. But I think (correct me if i'm wrong) it is the only way to hack a PS3 with base FW 3.56+ (latest slim and super slim).
Now I'm asking you : can we run homebrew on a PS3 on FW 4.XX just by signing them correctly?
Also, I don't like people who are making a lot of money as the first PSJailbreak team but all work have to be rewarded, the money is for that. And maybe if they weren't come, we couldn't hack PS3 at this time. They bring some interesting ideas to the scene. People who sell things can spend all days to find solutions and workaround, that's why they are more efficient.

If you are talking about a job, i can take it the part of cash coming in because you NEED it.
Here, we are talking about a hobby. Something that you do because you are good at it and because above all you love to do it.
But turns that people with good intentions turns corrupted for a *simple piece of paper* to buy a ticket to Bahamas.
If you release something for free, especially brew's on a closed system. It's better rejoice about what you done than expect a big phat check for it.
Why?:
1) Not easy to achieve.
2) You become a living legend against a big corporation.
But it's easy go for the money and don't get me wrong here. Im not talking about e-fame. Im talking about *personal challenges* to become better on what you do.
This is not a ****ing job. Is a hobby and you don't expect DONATIONS.
Or i have to explain ALL over again what's MEANS to donate something?.

I understand your point about challenge. But, you must have a lot of time to spend hours of free-time with this. If this is your job, it's a more viable solution but of course, you get a bit less gratitude. And if it's not your job, you can be owned easier by big companies like Sony. Just look at Geohot and Graf_chokolo. We don't hear anymore about them. That's a pity but world is directed by money. All is about money. And if you want to survive, you have to make some.

There really is certain circumstances where this product is a cherry.
What about the people with the dualboot?
You guys know damn well sony is going to shut down cfw users online or figure out how to detect cfw with the next firmware update and ban anyone that even tries to log on.
Dualboot users can have their cake and eat it too. I get all my homebrew and linux and still have the ability to play all my pirated games online. Im not forced to purchase any certain ode because i have my keys already. So the only factors will be support, cost, advertised funtionality.
I've done a little research and the xk3y team has put out about 15 updates in as many months. They seem to have their **** together as far as support and i've read that getting banned from live seems to be nothing more then rumors, but i understand the risks. I expect cost will be cheaper if they dont have a key extraction method for newer consoles by then and as far as functionality,well, playing games is whats its all about.
I dont know, i plan to sit on the fence and just watch for now but i have full intentions on buying one.
These ode's have been around for awhile for other consoles, why not the ps3's? I just think an ode will pimp my system to the extreme...
I'm sorry if my views dont agree with yours but you have to admitt, an ode isn't such a bad idea for my setup.

Purchased another PS3 and im waiting patiently for Cobra ODE...
They ask 50$? I'll pay!
They ask 89$? I'll pay!
They ask 120$? I'll pay!
Why? Cause i know im paying for a reliable piece of electronics...Risk free Plug the ribbon and Ready fot its magic
And whats the magic?
PLAYING GAMES!
The same thing i've been doing on my PS1 when i've modded with a chip
The same thing i've been doing on my PS2 when i've installed MAtrix chip
The same thing i'll be doing on my PS3 when Cobra ODE will be released
Cause i dont care about Opensource nor CFW nor Linux nor Emulator nor ****!!!
I just wanna plug and play! Not to screw around with bunch of programs Spending hours searching for EBOOTS Pretending that im accomplishing something while toying with homebrews
Cobra ODE provides easiest way of gaming and yes its Genuine Chinese made Brand new Piracy on PS3.

I think what it all boils down to is Team Cobra needs more money to finance garyopa's fancy new vagina. He got it done just the way dink likes it.

Why many are knocking this product down? It is not even out as yet! I rather wait and make a judgment till then. If you believe all the marketing hype then it might be a brilliant product.
01-27-2013
09:23 AM
They think that everything released in the scene should free because its a "hobby" and no matter how hard you work at you should release it for free for every one to enjoy.
And they also hate this guy garyopa who they think is being financed by this cobra(although none of them has presented any proof of their claims so far)
And like you said we will have to wait and see if this product is worth, but at least someone is doing something and proposing solutions instead of sitting on your ass and waiting for somebody to release things for free.

not a huge fan of cobra. seems like a waste. except maybe on brand new ps3. but why would you wanna buy a new ps3 for 300 plus tax when you can buy two fat ones at gamestop or a pawn shop for around 120 each and spend the other 70 or 80 bucks on an e3 or prog. same dollar amount and ya get two systems with full cfw that you can always downgrade. and the parts are easy to change if ya ever have an issue.

if your laser is dead the disc wont spin dude. i just changed a laser. it will move slightly and you will hear a little click then it will stop dead. so yeah it sounds like a laser issue. maybe motor. but you can just get the whole silver assembly off ebay. and its not so hard either. open drive. take out 4 screwes. put new laser assembly in. but when ya close the black casing look throgh the sides cause there are a cpl white little prongs that gotta go in specific holes. and mind any tiny little wires. like on the cechg01 theres an eternal optical sensor with a tiny red n black cable going to the board
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
id fix the drive and go for cfw over cobra. but thats me. and the drive can be fixed for not too much money anyways. like 30 to 40 bcks

and when the disc is inside and when i push the eject bouton the disc comes out with no problems
01-27-2013
03:52 PM
ok well if you open up the blu ray drive, and take it apart (take off outside metal casing, open black casing it comes apart in the middle into two halves. and mind the white circular plastic magnet ontop of black plastic casing as you need this. at this point you will see two white plastic arms holding that circle piece. those are the pieces that have the prongs that fit into holes on the drive arms. and its where ppl mess up. poles dont go into holes the drive arms dont move, they dont move the laser tray wont lift. blah blah.) all that jumble in the brackets is just an add on to above btw. open it all up. take out the laser assembly, its in a rectangle silver metal bracket. look on it for your laser model. aka kes-400a kem-410 blah blah. then look on amazon or ebay. im guessing 30ish bucks you can find a laser. and its really not hard to replace either if you have patience. do other apps work btw? psn games and netflix?
01-27-2013
03:53 PM
and just would like to say that my disc doesnt spin at all i only hear a sound thats like a scratch
01-27-2013
03:53 PM
i just did a cechg01 model fat ps3. same issue disc went in and out no issues but didnt load or spin. had a kes-400a laser. i replaced the laser and it now works 100%
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
it wont spin because it doesnt spin untill the laser kicks in and needs to read the disc. no laser = no reason to spin. the scratch or small click you hear is just the laser attempting to shift to start reading the disc then failing. its at that point when it fails to read the disc knows not to spin. you can get it to turn really really slowly with the drive fully disassembled but thats complex and wont help you for anything but testing the motor. which i know it isnt lol. and even if it was the motor comes with the laser as long as you get the assembly not just a laser. however i KNOW its not the motor. its the laser.
01-27-2013
04:00 PM
just would like to say i really appreciate you explainnning this to me thank you
because i want to knwo if my ps3 can read this ode then there is no point of fixing it because when i buy this ode i will be able to run games without discs
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
and i just want to say that my ps3 is a slim model
and i dont know if this is too much but if its possible could you send me a pic of a ps3 laser
thanks
01-27-2013
04:08 PM
in theory it should as the key exchange should come from the logic board more then the blu ray drive itself. unless the dongle requires you to have a disc in the drive. then it wont work. but like i said you can just replace the laser and it will work with discs again lol. and i dunno how much the cobra is?? but an e3 or progskeet is 60 to 80 bux and allows you to downgrade and use custom firmware. you can play iso files and stuff from cfw too. and use an emulator to make it work with no blu ray drive for many games if you are cheap and dont wanna spend the extra 30 for the laser lol. you are welcome btw. like i said i had the exact same issue. and infact have one sitting open infront of me because the laser died. i replaced the laser and it works but i broke a blu ray switch. so be careful lol stuff in there is small and fragile.
01-27-2013
04:39 PM
so i have to fix the ps3 to make this ode work right
ok
ill let you know on the results
of course if your intrested lol
01-27-2013
04:57 PM
yeah let me know. just change the laser and you will have a fully functional ps3. ( as long as ya line the drive arms up) which you wont the first try and your drive will take the disc in and play but not spit it out unless u lift the magnet off the top. when it does that its cause you didnt line it up right :P
01-27-2013
05:15 PM
if its ok could you send me a picture of a ps3 laser
thanks
01-27-2013
05:28 PM
yeah hold up. what model is yours?
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
that
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
its the laser with the motor and assembly. the laser itself is obvious :P you can order just the laser and change just the lens. or get the whole assembly as shown in the photo then its just 4 screws and a ribbon cable. the laser change isnt hard either you just need to be careful. theres tuts for either or. but the whole assembly is faster and easier.

Happens in here and happens even on PC gaming.
For example:
Some user buy the latest VGA, pretty expensive, good. Nice packaging expecting to play all the latests games on native resolution and then *****es that he/she bought a piece of **** (that indeed is a piece of ****) that don't work as he/she expected, *****es about lag, random crashes, high temps, etc.
Why this happens?:
Because that user bought something that most of pc gaming *cool* guys have and want to *part* of that *circle*.
Maybe the main problem was not the VGA in his case, maybe was his CPU, RAM or PSU.
But instead of make some proper research and wait for at least more than 16 reviews of that specific product, he had the money and wasted it on something that he/she don't need it in first place.
This way they *feed* that specific corporation buying more *corrupted* products because demand is so damn high that they could care less about end user and they won't stop manufacture some faulty VGA because at least 21% that bought it had problems.
(Look at NVIDIA).
People will continue to buy **** to *look* cool to others or that primitive way of thinking that paying more for something will give you even better results.
This rarely happens today.
That's a marketing whore.
Yes, i get it you will PAY!! for everything. You even bought an E3 flasher and ****ed up your own PS3.
With that type of *way of thinking* like i said, there's no room for better products.
Because no matter what, THEY know that you will buy it anyway.

ive honestly never had a ylod console? maybe im lucky? got one that freezes now and then. used to have one that was overheating. all easy to fix tho. and the slims are cheap as hell... not that the fats arent but atleast ya feel like you are holding something in your hand. and all you ppl complaining about cfw? to hell with cobra. they are useless. always were. cfw does 1000x more and give you so many more options.... but then again im in it for the homebrew and emulators. not the backup games. still like black ops 2 and dc universe and mw3 that i actually wanna play online i buy. id only use a backup if i wanted to play by myself or wanted to see if the game was any good. not saying id buy it.. but i wanted to play it online i would. i started using backups because i got mad sony wouldnt let me copy my discs to the internal to save my laser.
01-30-2013

This ones are not built to last nor built with the best products on the market, it's something that anyone that has some income can get.
PS3 Phats = YLOD, big and nice built.
PS3 Slim 2k series and below = Cracking sounds, cheap plastic.
PS3 Slim 3k series = No more cracking sounds but cheaper plastic.
PS3 Super Slim = No comments.

they said ps2 wasnt made to last either but ive still got my fat ps2 with a modchip and its still working great lol. as for my ps3s. my backwards comp model needed new laser. cechg needed new laser. cechl ive had since 08 i believe and had no issues yet.

I'm buying it. Unless, someone actually care to answer all the questions I've been asking in many other threads.
01-31-2013
04:07 PM
LOL Boris...sounds like a threat!
Go ahead and pay, nobody cares.
People with some patience and intelligence realize you can get backups running on your PS3 for no cost whatsoever. Well, the cost of a hard drive and USB stick, but you don't have to buy ODDEs or DRM Tru Blue nonsense when the software is already out in the wild.
The only people who have to pay are those with OFW higher than 3.55, and you might as well pay for a flasher so you can downgrade the PS3 and completely open it.
Instead of buying some ODDE which will die as soon as they stop supporting it and can only do one thing, you can completely open your PS3 for so much more.
The only possible advantage in an ODDE is transparency when connecting to the PSN, you may be able to avoid a ban if you don't tamper with your game files, but that's a big maybe depending on how the ODDE will work.
The other advantage....newer games? Seems like we can play all newer games now since the bootldr keys got leaked. Hell, we can even activate PSN content.
All for $0.00 !
But go ahead and pay for whatever you want.
01-31-2013

It will be interesting to see how this product works. If I am correct it has to extract keys, just wondering if someone can use the method used by the Cobra ODE team and use their exploit for the new custom firmware. It may lead to something better.

03:32 PM
If it serves a needed purpose for even a few consoles, then it's up to the buyer to decide if it's worth it.
The posts defending it's purchase are much better than the ones against from what I read, so straight away someone who is 'on the fence' about it will lean more to it than away if all they really see is people who support it being called 'retard' etc.
I still think buying it is a bad idea overall, but if everyone thought as I do the world would be a great big turnip lol

Telling someone that their father is ugly and that their children and grandchildren will be ugly, is something people usually do in primary school, in UK/Ireland, primary school is for people aged between 4 and 11.

I am childish by calling you out for being immature, makes sense...
I don't give a f*ck what your problem is, i don't care what [MENTION=249540]toolz[/MENTION] problem is, i asked you to stop your crap, i don't see [MENTION=249540]toolz[/MENTION] insulting you in such the manner you are insulting him, i never seen him attack your family or any of your loved ones.
Now if you want to call [MENTION=249540]toolz[/MENTION] ugly, that's fine, but to call his children or anyone else in his family ugly, is extremely childish and makes you look stupid, you are old enough to be a grandfather yourself, this is not the way to be acting....
Also what [MENTION=249540]toolz[/MENTION] said about your attitude towards Cobra or any other of these ODDE's is right.
There is no solid proof that they do or don't work on 3K or 4K models, now someone that is almost 40 shouldn't be so naive as to simply trust someone when they haven't showed any proof.
So defending a device that does not work on 3K or 4K models is stupid, if the Cobra guys wanted anyone to believe their claims, that would have made a video of them running their ODDE on a 4K model, until they do that, then they are using this claim to sell the device to stupid people that will fall for their lies.
Now i have zero problems with removing you from the forum, you can make a million accounts, they will all be removed, so have fun wasting your won time.
