If anyone has jailbroken your PS3......... You're screwed, be prepared to be contacted by sony's lawyers haha, a friend of mine just did and all I said to him was "I told you so"

[King James]

A modded 360 was enough for me

how did they know his was jb'd?

[Law Grandeur]

actuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally you get banned if you go online. they have patches that are released all the time. from what ive heard they give you a warning first then ban you. my friend has one JB ps3 and one normal...doesnt use the JB online at all. some people are just dumb lol

[Racer_XXX]

How do they figure this stuff out? And how do they know where to come looking if your account is on multiple systems?

[almostJDM]

a program runs on the systems that let's Sony know what's on it and whenever you login it downloads, and theirs away to not have to update That's what my friend kept doing and still be able to get online, they look at ip addresses i guess

[Racer_XXX]

Hmm, maybe I'll try that with my Xbox before I sell it.

I was never interested in JBing my ps3, but every fucking time I want to log on and and a " new version must be download to go online" pops up, I know its patches for jail broken ps3's.

Jailbraking ps3

I don't know what jailbrake he used, but it must not have been the full bootloader from failoverflow.

The typical ones work by installing custom firmware onto your system, this can be patched and make you not be able to play online.

The real jailbrake for the ps3 came from failoverflow being able to actually install their own bootloader on the system.

This is much different than firmware, the bootloader operates before the ps3 even knows you are running the playstation OS.

The jailbrake does not explicitly allow you to copy games to a harddrive, but it does allow you to install custom firmware that is from what I understand completely undetectable by sony.

This allows users to run linux with what will hopefully be full control of the power pc architecture and access to system memory.

If you want to steal games with it, that is your decision, and one I don't support, however homebrew and other OS installs are A ok in my book

My ps3 is still pre 3.4 solely to retain my other OS features. I have planned on installing the cutom bootloader for a while, but am waiting for the heat to die down on the ps3 being hacked and for all the bugs to get worked out before proceeding.

Just out of curiosity, was he just running custom firmware?

Score one more for the POS 360 i own, i desperately want a PS3

[Leung]

I modded my regular xbox back in the day but i never went online until i got the 360.

There aren't enough games on the PS3 to make me want to mod that.

lol sony isn't going to spend time suing someone who modded their console. They will ban the console and thats that. The people who help distribute the mods are the ones who get it in the ass

it was from whoever just got sued for distributing the jailbreak

Thank God I only play 2-3 games, and use Netflix. Thus, JB'ing never interested me, on my PS3 or prior on my 360.

$50-60 for 2-3 games, doesn't bother me one bit

[almostJDM]

same here as far a JBing, but I have around 50 games, 25-30 disc and rest hdd from ps store
