Welcome to PS3Hax, your official PS3 hacks, PS3 Homebrew, and PS3 Downloads scene. Check back daily to keep up with the latest PS3 Hacks and drop by our forums for more PS3 Hacks discussions.
Well as we all know, the optional ALWAYS turn to imperative to Sony. Here some more info about PSN being DOWN again.
We all knew this would happen. It was recently reported that 4.21 system update was optional. That is no longer the case. It is now a mandatory update, which means that at least for the time being we don’t have PSN access on custom firmware PS3′s.
It is still early, but I’ve tested both F*ckPSN and the recent 4.21 SEN enabler/disabler. I have faith that a workaround will soon become available and we’ll be back online very soon but you have to ask yourselves – “Is this the end?”.
Anybody that is still able to go online, please report what you are using to make that happen.

Another week and another update, i will cover both the US and EU updates, i would like to include Japanese updates, but they don’t seem to have a specific release day.

A member on the PSX Scene forum has released an application for turning on PSN and turning off PSN, here is a quote from the article:
Here is a PSN enabler and disabler I’ve made which also spoofs to Firmware v4.20. This is only for Kmeaw users. I’ve made one for Rebug FW too but I haven’t tested it yet. I have used Rebug’s spoofer files and Nathanr’s tools, so thanks to them. Make sure you are unspoofed (3.55) before running the enabler. The disabler restores the original Kmeaw files and returns to v3.55. I have also used a reactpsn compatible vsh.self in the disabler so it doesn’t screw anybody up that uses reactpsn. For those that don’t use reactpsn, you won’t notice anyway.
To enable PSN and spoof to v4.20, run the enabler, the screen will go black for about 15 secs, PS3 will then restart, your pad will have disconnected too so press the PS button. You can now check your firmware version in system info, it should say ‘version 4.20′ and you should now be able to connect to PSN. To disable and return to v3.55, just run the disabler, screen goes black again and PS3 restarts.
I can’t see this lasting long, as it looks like Sony are currently only checking the firmware version above and beyond what Rebug have already done.

Well it happens every week, we know it isn’t “hacking” news, but there are many members here who do have a console with PSN access and do regularly use the PS Store, we are only doing a service by providing them with the information
Posted by GregoryRasputin, on 26/06/2012, @ 03:08pm
PS3HaX members Nateblitz16, ginnza and Ron36 informed us of an alternate method to access PSN, the news comes from Italian site PS3Ita and as usual, Google is a b*tch when translating, so if any of you native Italians want to do a professional translation, check the source link below, anyhow here is the badly translated quote from the source:
Like most of you know by now, Sony released a new firmware update, version 4.20.
This puts an end to PSN Access with Team Rebug’s spoof. When you try to sign in you’ll be asked to update your firmware…
So now what? Are we screwed again?
Not with what I’m about to tell you.
****PSN is still working, but you’ll need a PC. Don’t have one or just don’t want to turn it on everytime you’ll want to enter to PSN?
PS3Ita has the solution:
Make sure you’re on 3.55 CFW and that you don’t have any installed spoofs. This is really important.
Download and install on your PS3 on our pkg: DOWNLOAD | DOWNLOAD (x Ver CFW_Geohot)
When you’ll execute it, you’ll see your console’s yellow LED start blinking (don’t worry, you’re not YLOD’ing your PS3), after 2 seconds, your PS3 will restart.
Now you can go and enter PSN again, beware though, there’s always the risk of banning.
IMPORTANT NOTE: the pkg can be used on all CFW except True Blue’s (we’re doing tests on it) and maybe Cobra.
Some explanations: the patches used to connect to PSN are totally different from Rebug’s, but we obviously used the passphrase they discovered. Without them, PSN access wouldn’t be possible in any shape or form.
Therefore we gotta thank in a big way Team Rebug!!
Sony will probably patch all this by either changing the passphrase or in another way, to be honest I really don’t think this will last much, so for now enjoy it while it lasts.
Disclaimer 1: WARNING! PS3ITA does NOT take responsibility for the result you’ll get by doing the procedures here described and for the banning of your console.
Use this at your own risk!
Disclaimer 2: WARNING! PS3ITA does not incite or support piracy in any way, shape or form, the procedures here described are just for the purpose of illustrating how this patch works and to allow legally bought games to be played.
Pass phrase’s change, so don’t hold your breath for this CFW access to PSN to last much longer, so enjoy it whilst you can
UPDATE
It appears that the reason this method works, is because it is a clone of Rebug, the only difference is the GUI, PS3HaX Homebrew Dev and PS3 Wiki Guru euss has looked it over and says it is exactly the same as rebug psn 4.11.
My advice, is stick with Rebug and don’t bother with this one.

Seven days ago, i posted here about PSN going down twice in one week, i cannot use my EU account without some sort of lame error, now it seems today, the 21st of June, PSN is yet again experiencing difficulties as some users are having problems logging in here is a screenshot of the tweet from the US PlayStation twitter account:
Posted by GregoryRasputin, on 14/06/2012, @ 06:52am
Whenever Sony decide to do Maintenance on the PSN network, they usually give enough warning via their blogs, but the PSN Network has been down TWICE in less than seven days, with zero warnings and zero explanation of why it is down, the first outage happened on the 9th of June(Saturday Past), PSN users were greeted witn this error code 8071053D, the second outage happened today the 14th and all that is posted on PSNEU’s Twitter account is:
PSN and Stores are currently unavailable. We’ll let you know as soon as they’re back online
By now, you’ve probably seen what’s going on with the US PlayStation Plus update in June and the ‘Instant Game Collection’ and I’m certain you’re all excited to see what we’ve got in Store for you too.
Well I’ve got a lot to go through with you so brace yourself and please keep your arms and legs inside the blog post at all times.
So let’s cover all that shall we?
First of all, you’re still going to get MASSES of discounts on all kinds of stuff in Store, both Plus exclusive and extra discounts on Special offers.
You’re still going to get exclusive dynamic themes, avatars and access to beta trials – in fact we’ve got some truly fantastic betas coming before the end of the year for you.
Then, there are the games. From now on, the watchwords are more and better. More new games, more digital Blu-ray, more of the very best the PlayStation®Store can provide.
You’re getting 10 games up front and from next month, 3 of those games will change, and you’ll get at least 3 games per month thereafter.
The important thing is that whenever you decide to join PlayStation®Plus, there will be a minimum of 10 games for you to start playing right away.
So which games? Let’s go take a look. Oh and if you see a number in brackets, it’s a Metacritic score for your reference.

PlayStation®Plus Presents
Not content with offering you those 10 titles I also have another small announcement to make – here in SCEE we’ll be running a little sideline within Plus called ‘PlayStation®Plus Presents…’
We’ll be searching for the very best independently developed titles for PlayStation 3 right now and in the future – those games that really stand out we’ll hand pick for our Plus subscribers. Each ‘PlayStation®Plus Presents’ game will be available to download in Plus at no extra cost for 8 weeks from the moment it launches on the Store, meaning that as well as blockbuster titles, as a Plus subscriber you’ll be able to play the very best of indie too.
Our first PPP title will be an extremely cool little shooter called Retro/Grade – it won the Audience Award at IndieCade 2010 and was a finalist for Excellence in Audio and Excellence in Design in the 2009 Independent Games Festival. I urge you all to go and check it out because you’ll get to play it soon enough.
Retro/Grade is just the first such title that will be available at no cost to Plus subscribers when it launches later this summer.
Now you know what’s yours for the taking, I’m sure you have some questions. I’ve tried to answer a few pre-emptively below.
What about my PS one, PS2 and minis?
Based on all the feedback we’ve had from you guys over the last couple of years, we’ve decided that our subscribers would be better served by offering you more digital Blu-ray titles and top of the line PSN games, rather than scrabbling around to find a compelling PS one or minis titles. That said, if a truly awe inspiring minis title or one of the greatest PS one or PS2 titles that ever existed suddenly shows up on PS Store, you can bet your britches that we’ll secure it for you.
How come SCEA subscribers get 12 games and we only get 10?
It’s true, SCEA get two more games than SCEE subscribers up front.
However, most titles in SCEA Plus will stick around for 16 weeks before being refreshed – in SCEE we keep games for a maximum of 12 weeks, which means we rotate through more games in a full year – in fact we are committed to delivering over 45 games to you as part of your subscription before June 2013, and that’s before we factor in any extra minis or PS one titles that might show up. Additionally, any ‘PlayStation®Plus Presents’ games will be extra to the standard game rotation.
Will those 45 games include repeating games that have already been offered in Plus from the past?
As you’ve already seen, some of the games that are being provided to you may have been discounted in Plus before – we will try to keep this to a minimum. We’ve committed to offering only the absolute best games available on the PSN Store, which means meeting a minimum quality requirement. I cannot guarantee that you won’t be offered a game that has been discounted before but there will be more than enough brand new titles and games that have never been in Plus to provide you an astonishing amount of value, even if you purchased all of those discounted games previously. What we won’t do is ever offer something that’s been included as a 100% discount title before unless it’s a true ‘second-chance’ offer – that means it doesn’t count towards your total.
—————-
Guys, while you’re reading this I am almost certainly asleep in a strange bed in California so please bear with me – I will do my best to respond to as many comments as I can while I’m here at E3.
In the meantime, I want to see feedback, I want to see suggestions for games to be included later in the year, I want to hear anything you have to say about these changes!
In the meantime, enjoy the anticipation of receiving five top class digital Blu-ray titles, four of the best of the Store’s back catalogue and one brand new PSN game, all still just £39.99/€49.99 for a year’s subscription.
And of course, if you join right now, there’s still time to get May’s content as well.
Posted by GregoryRasputin, on 05/06/2012, @ 05:19pm

It has come to my attention that Team Rebug has released a little something for those of us on 3.55. That something just so happens to be the ability to get back on PSN! Use at your own risk, although Sony has not banned anyone for having CFW on their console as far as I know.
***** THIS ALLOWS PSN ACCESS *** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK *****
**** FOR REBUG 3.55.2 ONLY ** FOR REBUG 3.55.2 ONLY ****
**** YOU MUST BE IN REBUG MODE TO ACCESS PSN ****
It has been a while between drinks but that doesnt mean weve been doing nothing so without any fanfare here is Rebug Update Package 0.7 (3.55.2). This will update REBUGs version spoof files to 4.11 and enable reActPSN 2.0 compatibility. As usual all previous fixes and updates are included.
Oh.. Did we mention we got you PSN ACCESS back. Dont hold your breath hoping it lasts though!!!
Got to the rebug,me link below to download and start gaming online!
Note:
In case you don’t know how to install rebug use itskamel’s cfw guide step 3 = click here

For those of you still playing, Uncharted 2, you can get all the games DLC for free from PSN, at the moment its US only, here is some information:
If you have managed to stay away from Uncharted 2′s DLC for this long, then now might be the time to download it. Why? Because as of today, all of Uncharted 2′s downloadable content is FREE to download on PlayStation 3.
As part of Sony’s PlayStation Store update, all of the past add-on content for Uncharted 2 costs nothing. This includes Drakes Fortune Multiplayer Pack (previously $2.99), the Golden Gun Pack (previously $0.99), the PlayStation Heroes Skin Pack (previously $2.49), the Sidekicks Skin Pack (previously $1.49) and the Siege Expansion Pack (previously $2.99).
Hopefully this move persuades those who haven’t yet had a chance to play the second game to go pick it up. After all, you should play it before you experience the epic-ness of Uncharted 3.
Drakes Fortune Multiplayer Pack contains six skins namely UDF Drake, UDF Elena, Eddy Raja, Javier, Atoq Navarro and Gabriel Roman. It has two large set maps, The Facility and the Flooded Ruins, from Uncharted: Drakes Fortune title. In addition, the game has 12 PSN trophies and 13 medals.

For a few days, the PS3 Dev Wiki was down due to hosting problems and a lot of information seemed to be lost, but thanks to the hard work of the Wiki’s admin defyboy and a backup from a member called TMAnd, only a couple of days work was lost, you can read about it on this thread.
So thank you defyboy and TMAnd for rescuing all those precious edits
I would like to point out, that the PS3 Dev Wiki is a community effort, without the work and dedication of a lot of developers and PS3 enthusiasts, the wiki would be quite empty, so if you are doing work on the PS3, keep it documented on the Wiki

Last September, Sony made a controversial change to their T.O.S, implementing an Individual Binding Arbitration, which meant, that once you agreed to those T.O.S, you could no longer take Sony to court, over any wrong doing or mistake caused by them on the PSN service.
On November last year, a PS3 owner filled a lawsuit against Sony, stating that the company engaged in unfair and tortious conduct when they required PS3 owners to agree to a new T.O.S, here is a small quote from the court document:
The imposition of the Agreement was unfair, plaintiff argues, because without
any consideration the Agreement altered the parties’ contractual relationship and imposed for the first
time requirements that PSN users agree to submit disputes between the user and Sony to arbitration and
waive their right to resolve disputes through a class action. Id. Users had to accept the terms of the
Agreement in order to continue accessing the PSN. Id., ¶ 2. Users were able to opt out of the arbitration
clause and class action waiver provisions, after they agreed to the Agreement. Id., ¶ 18. However,
plaintiff alleges that defendants put up barriers and discouraged users from opting out by imposing
onerous requirements, including requiring opt outs to be submitted in a written notice by mail. Id.
Defendants move to dismiss the complaint, arguing that plaintiff does not have standing under
the UCL – which requires a showing that plaintiff lost “money or property” as “a result” of defendants’
conduct – and because no cause of action for tortious breach of the implied covenant of good faith and
fair dealing exists under California law outside of insurance coverage disputes. Plaintiff opposes that
motion and the matter is now before the Court.
Now im sure you wont be surprised that the court dismissed this case, just like they dismissed the OtherOS lawsuit, so it seems that Sony are allowed to do what ever they want, you spend hundreds of pounds on PSN content, only to be told that you have to get rid of OtherOS in order to keep access to all that content you bought, only for a year year later you must go through the same type of decision again.

Benjamin Grobler a South African inventor, along with his attorneys Christopher Banys and Richard C. Lin from the The Lanier Law Firm, have filled a lawsuite against both Sony and Apple for infringing patent laws, here is a quote from the source for a better understanding than i can explain:
The inventor of technology used in data vending systems such as the iTunes and Playstation Network systems has sued Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple Inc. (NYSE: APPL) and Foster City, Calif.-based Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (NYSE: SNE) for patent infringement.
Inventor Benjamin Grobler is represented by intellectual property attorneys Christopher Banys and Richard C. Lin from the Palo Alto, Calif., office of The Lanier Law Firm. The lawsuits filed March on 27, 2012, allege that Apple and Sony are infringing U.S. Patent No. 6,799,084.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office issued the ‘084 patent to Mr. Grobler in 2004. The patent covers data vending systems that allow users to store and manage digital music, video, software and other items on a variety of electronic devices.
According to the lawsuit, Apple and Sony have infringed the patent by making and offering infringing data vending systems such as iTunes and the Playstation Network, and that the companies are inducing their customers’ infringement by using these systems.
“You would be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t listened to music or watched a video through iTunes or the Playstation Network,” says Mr. Banys, head of the nationwide intellectual property practice at The Lanier Law Firm. “Tech giants can’t just take an inventor’s work and use it as their own. This lawsuit represents our client’s effort to bring some accountability to the system.”
The cases are Benjamin Grobler v. Apple Inc., No. CV-12-1534, and Benjamin Grobler v. Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC, No. CV-12-1526. Both are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

Good evening, everyone!
Proudly I present you my newest application “PSN Infinity v2“.

This version is released as public beta. Completing the app and including all functions I want it to have will take several weeks but the main function aka browsing the PSN stores is already working.
This is the first time I force a donation alert in an app, but necessary as this program is a very huge and time consuming project.
So if you like this beta, please donate a small amount to give me some more time to work on this nice project
I will give you a sneak preview about the functions I focus to add soon:
100% PSN PC client
linux and MAC version
finish the search function
download PKG for guest account
add comic & video stores support
activate/deactivate your consoles remotly
complete account management on PC (like on PS3)
change your PSN Online ID (like in japanese region accounts)
bring back PC to PS3 messaging (if we’ll ever get xi-passphrase back)
etc etc etc…
If you reach error 99, please install the VC redistributables.
If you find any bugs or have suggestions don’t hesitate to e-mail me: (skfuinfo@gmail.com).
This application is made for research and investigation.
There is no intention to use it for piracy!
