That is the difference

it may be a difference but still, companies like tb/sony should resort to protecting their ips in an ethical manner if they wish to do regardless of who they are & what they specialize in

i think that dongle is huge way to make money,even if it will be cracked that will not stop them making money because the way they get non encrypted eboot who is important.
they can change the way of protecting dongle & its the same probleme again,
hope the best for the scene.

As a nobody to this forum I know my opinion matters little. Regardless here goes

I have no problems paying for a TB dongle. However, I would much rather prefer a non-dongle CFW option. I would pay for a CFW just the same. I dont expect anything or anyone to hand me anything they have spent time, energy, and their own money in hacking. I would easily drop $100 for an updated CFW just to show support for the hard work alone.

That being said, I have no respect for this "kill your HDD" mentality. If you have the superior product that should be enough. If other companies are showing your prices could be reduced, just reduce the price and still make your money. When you try and put people into a stranglehold and threaten their hardware, you have overstepped your bounds. This is how you put your company and profits into the crossfire and set yourself up for destruction. The TB group needs to learn a bit about how the business world works. Threatening consumers is the wrong way to go.

Now if you want to sell me a CFW without all the drama and unnecessary dongle, ive got a payment ready to go. Till then, ill be waiting for a more reasonable option, be it free or not.

I have to disagree on this part; TB are *not* part of the PS3 scene, they are parasites on it.

I kinda hate TB 'philosophy' or whatever it's called, yet i still woke up today and went on the scene to read bout this issue...

In a way, TB does kinda helping the scene communities...

Lol.. Peace no war !

[U-Fig]

wouldn't it be nice to see the birth of a new CFW that will do away with dongles for the forthcoming period.
end of flamewars, end of envy, end of general disarray in general :D

patience is still a virtue in these days....

i have a true blue as they was no clone when i got it. but my point is true blue do have a right to be pssed off in a way. the clones are taking credit for their work why can they not make their on cfw ect. i dont agree with them deleting files tho. i think if the boot was on the other foot then they would understand. in a way they are taking money for someone Else's work
