I think I'm very disappointed with the PS3 scene if I'm very honest guys. Since I joined this scene in feb this year, although we have some wonderful members on this forum whom will help you loads, I'm not happy that 9 months on, there still are no real hacks for the 3.60+ fw. So far my PS3 which was upgraded to 640gb hdd +120gb external hdd, is simply gathering dust, whereas i've spent more time playing games on the xbox 360.

Don't get me wrong, this JB2 is good, but what's the point if you have to spend more money buying BR discs and burners...you might as well get the original games, because at least they will hold their value.

The way things are going, I bet people will head to the Xbox 360 scene instead...at least with their jtag console they can still backup games to their HDD, they don't have any issues with the latest games, unlike the PS3, where most games over 3.60FW won't work, unless you pay tons to buy yet another dongle, BR burner and BR discs...oh and no PSN!

That's not how it works. You have to trust him. He's telling the truth. Just like the other 10 or so one-offs stating the same thing...

[hackboy89]

^^ i didn't say anything about trusting him or not trusting him but just that we all will get a ray of hope if we get to see other games in action..

also, every other new guy have posted on various forums about the authenticity of this dongle, but i just can't understand why things aren't taking off..

on the other hand, whenever someone asks for more proofs from any of the member who is justifying this dongle, they get on the defensive and some other members lined up in his favor.. just like you did..

Sarcasm doesn't always relay very well over the internet, however this post was dripping in it.

ohh, sorry.. my bad.. but actually after reading numerous posts made by a no. of members on various sites in the last few days, i just thought that he actually meant it coz guys from indonesia have not been able to post that much accurately in english.. so you can understand in what state of mind i was when i replied..

@Wolfie708 , nopes, not an american..

yeah, now that's what i don't like about this whole thing, however hard i'd try to believe in it, i get kicked out.. as you're saying that you have bough that particular dongle and games, can't you make a simple video and post it up on youtube..??

True...but you know what I'm getting at. Those one-off posts are all about, been there, done that. JB2 does this, that and everything, but sorry, I can't show you the proof. I just find it funny that after 700+ posts, there is still the "yeah it works, ive seen it" popping up.

yeah I know what you mean also the devs have been working hard to figure all this out.
