sony can't patch it...........where have I heard that before.
I always thought questioning what you hear and not just believing whatever you feel plausible a smart thing. Not the other way around

The ones that "bag out crunch", are not the ones with the stupid comments, i have stated that this is indeed genuine, so don't label everyone the same..

And you sir, are just, a moron

yes, that's how I found it too. Also, if it works like the Xk3y for xbox, Firmware for the drive and the PS3 will not be touched. The firmware for the drive will be "emulated" using a micro linux board that will be a middleman for the drive and the motherboard. It can also be turned off so the drive will act as if directly connected. only the Drive KEY is needed so the hardware can present itself to the motherboard as the correct drive.

They were able to do the exact same thing for the XBOX. The differences are that its a Bluray drive, which can be treated the same way as a DVDrom from the motherboard perspective but with a different firmware, only with lots and lots more sectors. The differences in technology are abstracted by the drive itself so to the motherboard, what's connected is a SATA optical device.

I'm pretty sure they have other stuff to worry about, like different DRM methods. The XBOX itself changed AP's a couple of times since the xkey came out. They were able to update the "OS" to handle it.

All in all, both of them (if/when it comes out) are Sata Optical drive emulators. by the way, the Xkey wasn't even the first Optical drive emulator. It was preceded by a long time by some for the Wii. Like the "wode jukebox" and the Flatmii.

It is not so unbelievable that this can also work on the PS3. Remember, This is working on the XBOX360 even though nobody has the "Keys" to the current xbox firmware. Just the "Key" to the Drive. The "key" to the drive also does not mean exactly the same as the encryption key, it's more the "Identification Key", that the motherboard expects from the drive.

I've had the Xk3y for a while now, but I don't think I'll be buying the PS3 version though. The Xk3y was/is expensive at around 100$. If this one is more expensive, I don't know if that would be worth it now at this stage of this console generation's life. I don't plan on buying many more PS3 games in this generation that I can justify 100$+ to be able to back them up. If the XBOX360 XK3Y had been scheduled to come out on December this year, I probably wouldn't have bought that too, for the same reason.

Xkey and WODE has been released before. Someone has to be stupid to think that the PS3 cannot have his own 'Xkey'. Modeurasia wouldn't put their reputation at risk for some fake. C'mon folks. Hell, even that tard Garyshi-topee didn't put his reputation at risk for TB - he did his homework.

Now, for me - the hardware solution is one of the best stuff that could happen to us. No more co cksucker devs pulling some mathieulh stuff on us - just a team with a product with features. Which - obviously will create competition thus making us - the customer - win.

We're the ones that chuck shrimps on the barby.. which while Im here I may as well say WTF we call them prawns!!

Hey I said half!

Well you are here

Yeah I got sucked in when a mate told me that the people who were telling the truth were basically getting laughed at.
I usually try and avoid these IQ depleting articles

@Ubefuct , what else has been said is unpatchable and turned out to be patchable?
Plus its common sense, if something PERFECTLY simulates something else to the point of it being indistinguishable to the host console/Sony servers then how can it be patched?

Not everyone is going to understand the working of this device, doesnt mean they are idiots, they will begin to understand, unless they are @BGMaxie , i don't think he will ever understand anything, after about five different people and 20 different posts, he still doesn't really understand the difference between this and True Blue.

People need to read, ask questions before making stupid assertions then.
I personally have no problems with "Will this get patched?" or "Is the hardware necessary?"
When I see "OMGZOOORS Dis is like TB, this will get patched sooo fast" and actually arguing those points without any kind of knowledge then yeah I will be blunt and call them an idiot.

I personally would never buy one of these because retail games dont interest me, nor does PSN or any of that.
But this is a genuine hack, a genuine hardware hack, a genuine unpatchable hardware hack. So my kudos definitely goes out to the 3k3y team for being the first

@GraVoX959

in the geohotz days SOME people were saying...
"yay we pwned metldr! haha sony fuuuu! ps3 is forever pwned"

never say never... or forever for that matter...

[Wolfie708]

How come I miss all the good arguments?

I read the first couple of pages and the ones defending this seem like sheep to me, but hey ho, maybe I am just an uneducated idiot........ Of course that does rely on uneducated meaning that I question things and do not take everything on face (screen) value, but again hey ho, if people want to believe what they are told and shown without trying it for themselves then I have a nice pyramid scheme they may be interested in

@GraVoX959

You talk more sense than a lot, but after all your past b o llocks about working on things and not being 'allowed' to reveal details and sources, sorry Mr Sausage Head, but you have Zero right to criticise anyone who states their opinion

[GraVoX959]

@r07f1
Well metldr aside, the PS3 is still totally pwned, keys are still attainable, bootldr is still attainable.
Soon enough there will be a new CFW.
The only thing that is really patched is downgrading newer consoles and from what I hear, that wont be far off being done either.
