That is very true but I still love my 3 it used to do everything.

Reasonable don't means that it's *reachable*. I tought long time about that, but don't know if c4eva wants to get involved in this.
Since the xbox360 scene it's more *open* than PS3 scene.

Most times I'd rather play retro cd games (PSX,PS2,PC) with all the cheats. And I thinking a Cobra in the near future.

It may not save our asses, but at least, it stops this thief dongle, like true blue...

@screwhead i thought i was the same with cheats, but it was just cause at the time of me playing those games, i was young and all i could really do was cheat. now, i play as long as i can and if i get tired of the game, or i'm stuck, i'll sometimes look up cheats to see if it helps.
as i've gotten older, i don't really like cheats. i do like it though when developers add fun cheats like in blitz where you can get big heads and stuff like that; so, not really cheats, just kinda old school "mods"

^ thats exactly what I'm doing. while waiting for the free solution, I've been playing the N64 a lot, also buying more n64 games that I played but never beaten before back when I was a kid, also been watching some old nostalgic cartoons as well. :P Good times...

If anyone released a Cobra Firmware without the need of a dongle i has a happy man.
Only have interest in playing PS2/PSP games on ps3.

Great post @hellsing9

The Cure is like he said, just stand your ground and keep a level of self-respect and just don't buy it...

Maybe if some users left mom's house you'd know $60 is actually a lot of money if you're on your own. Really, not to be cheap but you can do a lot w $60 (if you're punk rock)

Ive been on the this site since the CFW came on here and I was interested in everything. every day I checked the site for New Things and news. Now I check it maybe one a week and I guess the drama and some basic things keep me to read on here. Me as a very hardcore gamer. wouldnt mind seeing an N64 Emu, DS, Possibly dolphin, increase the capabilities of multiman, and find someway for Ps2 games to work. most of those probably wont happen or cant be done but I dont mind having 2 ps3's one online and offline. ill still sit here patiently untill something new comes out.

and I just want to point out thats its not just this site that took its losses its all the other sites. the other guys won. its that simple. most of this stuff wasnt even hackable untill recently and we still got time down the road.

I think that the ps3 scene is just too focused on "playing games"... yes I realize the ps3 is a video game console, but more often than not the people who have the know-how to get things done are not as focused on bringing YOU the latest games.

Hacking for the ps3 is surely to be one of the most unrewarding/frustrating experiences to have befallen any dev. There's a lot of trolls, entitled kiddies, rude/impatient peeps, etc. The things I've seen posted in release threads is downright abusive. For example, you have individuals calling a dev's hardwork "useless", or something to that effect.

As other have already said, I would sooner buy pre-owned games, then give these individuals my money. I can't quite reconcile the hypocrisy of buying a product that is used exclusively to pirate (any other use for TB?) that is basically functioning, for all I hear, as a DRM dongle. If they released notes on how their method worked, and they were charging for the convenience of having the hardware and software sold to you I wouldn't be as opposed to buying it. I know some are going to say that "Well sony will find out what they're doing that way" sony made this machine, so I'm fairly confident they can reverse engineer anything they do.

Despite all that, I do agree to each his own. I don't expect everybody to feel as I do, but I wish that next time I buy a console at least 80% of the people who currently only talk about playing "backups" don't buy it as well.
