Report: PS3 jailbreak, second edition, is now circulating in Indonesia

@Master Troll Exactly, a lot of mandatory updates that won't really do anything, and a lot of maintenance downtime. Just like old times

@Master Troll

some companies never learn, all the things that they are going to do right now: updates, demands, online passes, are not going to work for anything, because you CAN¨T BEAT PIRACY first sony said that they fixed the exploit with the first jailbreak, well i can see how well they fix it because this new jailbreak appeared faster than the last one. Sony should be more worried on creating a good product and a good market and to give real support to their users than wasting time with this kind of useless and lost wars that have been fought for the last 20 years and are going to continue for as long as they said: you can´t copy this.

@Master Troll

The only way to beat pirates is to get a band of Ninjas.

They're still prevalent now because.... no company is willing to hire any Ninjas

@Hunter141072

You are right you can't beat it, but if you constantly update your system, and upgrade the security you can keep the pirates at bay or at least make them work as hard to break in. It is never ending battle and I like the fact that SONY is willing to fight on my side.

@Hunter141072 "CAN¨T BEAT PIRACY". Maybe not, but Sony's doing a pretty decent job preventing it.

@Stevetrop Man of Mystery

Goes to show your knowledge of ninjas. A band of ninjas? Useless. A single ninja? Awesome.

@pickupdoctor The fact they will inconvenience you with lots of mandatory firmware updates that won't help means that Sony is really fighting for its own side.

@Stevetrop Man of Mystery

Oh they've hired them, you just can't see them..

@pickupdoctor I don't think you understand how piracy works . . . we're not talking about an STD or a virus here. Updating your own system won't actually keep other people from pirating. They can just keep their system offline and not be affected by updates.

@Faceless Troll

That's true, but since this is a 3.55 only dongle, Sony will probably change the security method on their games, seeing as how keys are useless since this method appears to completely bypasses the need for a higher firmware and keys. However, it won't be as hectic as last time, because this doesn't blow the console wide-open. It only enables piracy for those who stayed on 3.55. The legit users won't be punished much, if anything, maybe 2-3 firmware updates and Sony is in the lead again.

Good game, Sony.

@Cavall

i take it you haven't seen Curse of the Golden Flower..

@pickupdoctor


Sorry first sony is not fighting YOUR SIDE it´s their side, they couldn´t care less of you the only thing they care is the money, otherwise they wouldn´t be updating their system every week pissing their real customers with protections that are destroyed in days, and if you really believe they are winning man, then just don´t ever look at the list of games that are released two weeks before they are available at stores you are going to cry.......

@(Unverified) Yeah good luck extraditing someone from Indonesia over a jailbreak.

@Faceless Troll
What difference would it make..?

@(Unverified) Do you understand how laws work?

If they're in another country there's probably very little they can legally do to them.

@Faceless Troll
Don't you understand!? The US is the WORLD POLICE!!!

@Faceless Troll
I'm sure sony has a presence in indonesia.. extradition may not be necessary depending on laws.

@soorma yup! 1 asshole at a time screwing ten of thousand gamer's.

We might as well join them to speed up the 'f*cked over completely' process so we all forced fed DRM, digital only. Only good thing about it, is that is will screw over these pricks in the process!

@soorma

The jailbreakers could broadcast this theirselves, normally I do disagree with media posting stuff like this but the end of the article does a lot to make up for that.

@soorma
Relax dude. Pirates pirate because of the convenience of having their games run off a HDD, and to combat high market prices. This jailbreaking method relieves neither.

@(Unverified)

Your giving the dude to much credit. Fact of the matter is some one would have found out what he did. What is made by man can be broken by man. The dude acted like a prick but acting like he helped cause every breech or hack the PS3 faces is to much credit to him.

@mywhitenoise
Oh ye of little faith.

@balbonits nah dude f that id still buy my games legally

@balbonits

And you are exactly whats wrong with gaming these days. Way to hurt the hobby and industry instead of supporting it!

@balbonits

Congratulations on being cheap, I guess. To think, you could spend all that time pirating games doing something else, like getting a job.

@balbonits
It's assholes like you that cause me to deal with online passes, always on DRM and every other "protective" bullshit I have to put up with this gen... douche

@killerjuice

Odd, I'd think it was Sony causing you to suffer, what with their actions causing the inconvenience.

@killerjuice Online passes? Once publishers hear this it's time for Cd-keys.

@The Loot

Nah. I'm thinking if people would stop trying to hack the system to pirate and cheat, then we wouldn't have to go through this crap. That's just me.

@The Loot

"Sony won't let hackers violate their EULA and pirate games a bloo bloo bloo!"

Seriously, Sony gets vilified over so much crap that they're kinda forced to do, rather than the long list of things that are directly their fault. It's baffling.

@soorma +1,000,000

@Eggwardo
What happened to the rest of my comment?
I said why doesn't this only seem to happen to playstation products? I never hear about this kind of stuff for 360. (i know about wii homebrew, but don't care)

@Eggwardo

It's cause you have to pay to play Xbox online. These cheap @ssholes want to spend as little as money as possible.....so the majority take advantage of Sony's kind gesture not to charge them for online gaming.

I wonder how much longer that is going to last, before Sony says F it and starts charging? These idiots are ruining their own fun by stealing games. >.O

@King Under

Sony might just say F it and stop making game systems altogether.

@King Under

You think people who pirate on xbox 360 won't pay for xbox live? What is it like 9.99 a month and its like 59.99 for a game? The monthly payment will justify the cost of the game. I know your mad because of these pirates on your psn, truth is those are the same pirates from the psp, ps2 and ps1. So all sony systems were dealt with piracy in their years. This is nothing new.

@Eggwardo

Piracy in the Asian markets costs Microsoft billions - specifically with Windows.

@Shockwave

so to defeat the crippling PS3 piracy epidemic, you're going to send him games that are arguably better, and made more money so far than PSN 's Exclusives, i.e. "games that even the shovels refuse to associate with" shovelware ?

makes sense, i suppose. easier than sending a sega gamegear nintendo virtualboy or jaguar lynx in the mail... ...
