I agree they have come a long way from the 500 dollar devices they were. Remember though there are people in the scene who could barely afford the 600 dollar for a launch model. Some of us don't even have external hard drives. So 70 pounds or an external hard drive that will work across a vast number of devices... lemme think.... I want the external hard drive rather than Blu-Ray since the fact remains MOST PEOPLE still don't have them. And another fact still remains new keys and new firmwares aren't out so playing games built for 3.56+ doesn't always work well. Try running an exe compiled for x86 Windows 7 on a Windows 98 machine it doesn't work too well because of dependency issues, not because throwing them on a Blu-Ray is the end all to make all new games we don't even have the keys for work. Things have changed also I am not speculating that is just a fact. This SDK was released before we even had PSJailBreak, let alone the fact that we now have CFW and PSN was hacked. Don't get too big for your britches gentlemen.

im kind of with viper on this one, people b*tched about the cost of games and if its about the 360 they bring up the cost of live as if both of them cost some crazy amount of money, so to them dropping 60$-90$ on a bluray burner is way out of there league. but then again most of if not all of them are just lying to try to cover up that they just want to pirate games, blurays are built tough so the i want to protect my games argument is a bunch of bull if they were dvds i would say hell ya protect them as a dvd gets scratched just from using it. also i would love to understand why people saw 3.4osdk and went hey i bet this will allow us to play 3.60+ games, and the fact that this was "leaked" makes me think the devs(the ones that are trying to hack) have had their way with this one and have a newer one to go off of. all this is good for is people who want to make homebrew

Mine either

EDIT: Also, its great to see the new tools floating around now (i.e. .PAMF creator, official .SFO editor, etc etc)

forgive me if im being a coloosal noob,but isnt the only thing standing between us and playing 3.6+ games is the eboot.bin? and wouldnt the disk verifier generate an eboot of its own? cuz i see an option to specify the firmware over there??

The only thing standing between us and 3.6x games is the lv0.2 key and some other security measures...

yes it would make a eboot but you would still need the keys for the program to sign the eboot and as we not got the keys for 3.56 + so then it wouldnt work . and a ps3 on 3.56 + can run stuff signed with 3.55 keys eg game updates that was for 3.56+fw games but signed with 3.55 keys it worked because they was signed by ps3 devs with 3.55 keys that hasnt been black listed . sony blacklisted all the keys we had so we couldnt use it , . a fw 3.15 keys would work on 3.56+ fw only if it was ones that sony made and not been black listed .

Call me stubborn, a pita, whatever you want, but I still say the shizz included in here will be useful to us.

....and ps2 was a different console completely. Why not just compare it to wii & 360 if you're gonna do that?

btw, a dex unit is still a ps3, is it not??? Then why can't the sdk be modded to make a disk run on a cex unit?

I think it's funny that without even knowing fully what this sdk can do everyone piles on me telling me I'm a fvcking retard and I need to educate myself about this topic better......maybe everyone else just needs to realize they aren't the smartest person to ever live, and maybe a noob (that's right, I spell it noob...if you don't like it, too bad) actually has a valid point.

It's arguments like this (and the egos the more experienced members walk around with) that make the ps3scene a hostile place that no one wants to be a part of. Gee, I wonder why so many devs have just up & left the scene, but 360 & wii scenes have only lost a few???? .....and that's only after many years of work. It's something to think about.....maybe this is exactly why your beloved geohot turned his back on the scene for a couple cigarettes and a pint of dubra.

Your ego is in no way different. The only difference between you and the people you speak of is somebody (with a better knowledge of the whole thing) already thought of it, tried it and figured out it doesn't work. Why is that hard to accept?

It's like those people who google for a few minutes before going to see a doctor and then arguing about stuff because they're sure they know better.
