Im not saying this is a bad device or bad mouthing anyone, just pointing out what I thought was obvious

I agree with you, it s something we can already do (online+new FW/games) and this device just look like not necessary and poor featured device.
It s bad device because it make even more politics any release around fix, dex fw, and online pass (and even ps1/ps2 iso)
So if this device was release today, no one with common sense really need because it can be done for free and without any risk than loosing homebrew / need hardware downgrade.
Also it s up to Sony to block it but might be easy for them (and the team to find if possible, solution if they didn t vanish as TB team).
So yes, it s hardware but don t offer nothing new (as already pointed out, this device was probably ready since a while), make any release from ps1 to debug FW more complex, and risk to be ban/block by Sony. It s really sad to see there are nothing better.
And i forgot homebrew part.

Care to divulge the method how this same outcome can be done for free? And no DEX does not give you the same results.

Better results as in playing around with slots and partitions? Reminds me of screwing around with eboots.

@Ada Love Lace :

I don´t get it, how can you compare a hardware mod with softmod?
They are different approaches, have different pro/cons and can coexist happily.
Look at the wii, there are modchips and softmods, look at the 360, there are RGH/JTAG and drive-flash.
It´s the same like CFW and 3k3y.
You have to pay for hardmod, that has always been that way, will always be that way and no one ever complained about it.
Only here in the PS3 scene all the morons that have no clue whine about it.

And no, True Blue is NO hardmod. It was a scam.

Oh the homebrew agruement again. Not even going there when the homebrew scene for the PS3 is really lacking. And the only reason you have to "go up and down" in firmwares is to revert to 3.55 for homebrew, so yet another moot point. Sorry, I'm just not buying it. However you are entitled to your opinion.

I am looking forward to being able to use the store again.

Or playing around with screw driver and Sony watching you?

This device look like the last rush to make money (they did not release it before because TB in market was even "better" , plug and play and no risk to loose homebrew or 3.55)
It s better to buy second hand ps3 and the 2 or 3 games you really mind to play online and not wait for update or online pass or FW debug etc..., so you don t have to mind Sony is going to ban you (they will not, only ban really evil bad people) or block the device (they ll, just for the fun of it).
Even it was for free, i ll not consider to have it on my ps3 with the risk involved.
The only thing who can save this device will be to able to work on 4.25+FW.
And that device trying to make money give more heat to the scene ( free resigned eboot, pass phase, FW debug etc...)
