The key will always remain the same. Everytime someone mentions "Sony will change the keys like they did after 3.55" makes me want to just facepalm. It is not going to change unless Sony can put out an update that changes the BD firmware, BD key, and yet somehow keep the BD drive and motherboard paired or married as most of us say.....yeah that sounds way too risky and isnt going to happen even if it were possible. That sounds like a dangerous procedure and I dont think SOny wants a mass wave of bricks showing up that they will have to repair free of charge because their update is the cause. They can update the BD drive firmware by pushing a system update thus making the ODDE also require a firmware update from the team to continue to work properly.

Sony may start banning. That is always a possibility, but they can not stop you from being able to take system updates. You still have the option to update with a USB drive, and I could see the legal issues with them blocking the system from accepting updates which would cause issues with software playback. You agreed to a PSN ToS, I dont think you signed a ToS when you purchased your system

With an ODE you pay for: 1. Needed hardware. Without this hardware, you would not be able to run backups this way. 2. This hardware comes with Linux-based firmware/software which will probably be kept up to date to support all games Sony puts out. And this software is researched and made to work by this team, not stolen work. ODE game loading is not exactly documented on any PS3 hacking wiki. If you still do not understand, then you sir truly are a lost cause.

Ok basically the only major difference is the would-be-availability on game support. And with competition surging, TB whether they lie, scam, etc. will need to upload more stuff or **** themselves.

So as I see it, I won't suffer major drawbacks.

Seriously what's SO good about this thing that can outclass TB? And please don't tell me that "one really needs the hardware and the other one does not", that says nothing at all.

Best thing (again) is we don' t have to search for a DRM key because there is none

Also non patched original eboots, working game updates, all games available (no need to wait for a paradoxal paradox release) and so on ...

I see now that TB was probably highly lucrative. Too many people unable to understand that they are getting duped, even when you point it out to them that they are getting duped.

So that means this thing is buy, install, and you're free to play whatever you want without waiting? Is that it?

Ok, if that is so then now I may take a liking to this thing. So how can this thing be used then?

Take it out of its packaging, turn it sides ways, shine that som a b*tch up real nice and stick it in your candy ass, that is one way of using it...


Or you could read the manual
