PSJailbreak whines about losing money from cheap imitations… and they are actually serious Smoking
   August 23rd, 2010 clock image 8:30 am

jailbreak

Imagine this, you have spent the last year or two coming up with an application that works perfectly and is in great demand. You slap a price tag on it that you feel is worth all the hard work you put into the program and send it out to the shops to reap your rewards.

But low and behold a few days later some cheap Chinese imitations start flooding the shelves and your profits nose dive. The only logical thing to do is to plead with your customers not to side with the side of evil and support the original developers. But there’s a catch… you’re a filthy pirate yourself.

This is exactly what’s happening to PSJailbreak who claim to have been able to circumvent the PS3’s protection to allow you to play pirated games on any of their systems with a simple USB stick.

However now the insanely intelligent Chinese have gotten their hands on one and reverse engineered it and are now able to sell it at a far lower price so PSJailbreak have sent out the above header image…

As you know we hate piracy here at Lazygamer so this is a weird first where I get to say that I hope this software becomes public knowledge in lightning quick time. Because as soon as that happens someone will share with Sony how to disable it and all of PSJailbreak’s investment will be lost and that would make me happy.

Dragon Age 2 Cinematic Trailer

Gran Turismo 5 to be delayed – well not really but it’s possible


  • RSA-Ace

    Funny thing is that they use a PIC18F4455 which costs like R40 (buying single units – probably R20 in bulk). So to make these it’s like R70 ($10).

  • Worm

    I’m sure Sony have already purchased a unit to start trying to counter its ability.

  • Werner

    Lol… epitome of irony.

  • Bonk is back in town

    If this is a simple case of being able to work with any usb device, i imagine that the software would hit the p2p network soon. Pirate the Pirates.

    If it used for homebrew etc then it is fine but the large majority of people out there will rent a game and then dump it onto the HDD. So while there will be nice homebrew stuff, piracy of games will be the major application.

    Oh and I think Sony had a leak with one of their debug models probably being swiped.

  • Chainedfly2002

    Hahaha, Yarrr ye live by the pirate way, ye get taken down by the pirate way yarrrr :pirate:

  • RSA-Ace

    It’s not a flash drive. It’s a USB Jig. It wasn’t a leak with a debug model it was a leak with a the USB Jig – which has now been reverse engineered.

    LOL that didn’t go well. it really doesn’t seem to like the apostrophe, which is just so ironic.

  • Ndibu

    Actually, the knock offs are a bad thing for SONY, at least the expensive original was probably a bit too pricey for the average joe to consider, but now with the cheaper price and plug & play features, things just got worse.
    I think it was very silly to say someone will share with Sony how to disable it, as if Sony really needed the help of an outside party to do that. They have most likely already started on a workaround, they don’t need some nerd in his mom’s basement to help em out

  • JoKeR

    I hate how every time something comes out were an honest person would like to back up the $60 games that they BUY, someone has to start pitching a fit because of piracy!!!! There are plenty of ways that Sony can allow the unit to stay on the market and yet not allow the pirated games to be played. (At least on line). They have been doing this for years with computer games. Every game that is played online with a comptuer has an id that is checked before allouing you to play. Same goes for game systems. Each game has an id that is checked when the game goes live. I have well over $1000 worth of games and it would be nice to have some way of backing them up and putting away the disks so nothing will happen to them.

    Thats just my 2 cents. I have been an avid gamer for a long time now, and i have lost so much money due to broken or scratch disks its not funny. Yes i agree that there is a problem with piracy. There alway was and always will be. But i hate reading everyone dogging the creators of Hardware/software like this when it was created for a good LEGAL use.

  • hiide666

    what I hate is how someone who didnt pay for a game can go online and play with someone like me who actually pays for his games I think that is totally unfair

  • llllxxGOWxxllll

    Hack the sony marketing servers on store.Create a legit psn code generator buy games 4 free from store.lol i wish they do make 1.
