  1. The fact that in my dorm I get 30kb/s downloads and connections will drop all the time. If I go to the lab, lecture hall, library, etc. I get 1.5mb/s. Pisses me off so much that I have to walk to the library to download large files at my uni :/

  2. :) PG is the bomb. not sure if you or anyone else would know but do any of the jailbreaks stop the checking of newer updates?

    if so I wonder if sony has a backdoor and the rights to peak into the jail-broken system? maybe when you launch a game that has an update they will sneak in code that checks for hacks. another way a new game could check is to time the blu-ray drive say time it from accessing a file at the front to a file at the back as well as load times. hd's are faster than cd drives. anyway just me ranting

    The CFWs don't disable updating. Also, there's no real reason to update past 3.55 because the BMs that launch the games can spoof the firmware version of your PS3 to a higher version. Of course there are ways that Sony could in theory update the firmware to see if we're running CFW, but we can decrypt and patch any update they release because we have the keys.

  3. thanks for the info but I just purchased this one from amazon.com

    http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-2-5-Inch-Internal-WD5000BEKT/dp/B003TOE4PQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

    lots of reviews on there and the net with good results.

    a quick search could not find the lag, pause and drive not found issues with this western digital drive.

    I would have loved 640gb but 500 is good too. I am more interested in the playing my backed up nes/snes/saga/n64/roms

    I hate to be a drunk asshole, but if you're getting 500gb you're not just playing backed up ROMs. The only reason you would need that muchh space is to store games.

  4. Any drive should work, but it needs to be formatted with FAT32 for the PS3 to recognize it. Also, some of the higher capacity drives are too thick; they can't exceed 9.5mm if I remember what I read correctly. I'm looking at this one on Newegg; only $80 for 640gb and its 7200RPM which should help with load times :)

  5. I just got my Resistance 2 disc backed up onto the HDD and running =) Even updated and I played online. This new method works on ALL PS3 models with no chance of bricking, which is really nice. There's a tutorial over at PS3Hax on how to get it set up. It's really simple... but I'm going to need to buy a bigger HDD lol I only have the 60gb that came with it when I bought it. Also, this might make a good segment for Hak5 or something.

  6. Yeah, my PS3 is one of the models that would have bricked, glad I didn't install that CFW. I'm sure they'll have it fixed in a few days though.

    Edit: kmeaw released a new firmware that allows you to install unsigned packages and a .PKG that patches PEEK/POKE to work with backup managers. I haven't done it yet, but I'll update when I try.

  7. i can see some serious update coming out soon or they'll future proof their new models

    shows well the media cover stories like this :D

    ... and that might explain why twitter is so shit atm

    That's the thing, they can't release any update that would block this key without breaking all of the existing games that have been released to date because they're signed with the old key.

  8. yeah or torrent im sure if they get sued they'll release them ... they havnt yet ... its almost like a game of chess .... 'you make the next move' :D

    They already have been released; they're still up on geohot's site even though he's being sued. Custom firmwares that run homebrew have already been made. Every day it's getting closer and closer to people being able to play 'backups'. I really don't know why Sony's doing this, it won't stop the keys from being distributed or used.

  9. They would work online fine, there's no reason they wouldn't. The reason I really think this is going to kill the PS3 market is because of the simplicity. Download a game, put it on your PS3, and you can play it. No firmware hacks needed and you can never be caught. Another reason though is that this is going to cause a rampant increase in cheating in online games because it's now a trivial thing to do.

  10. fail ... but seriously i doubt it will affect effect sony

    i like my games to have a case and instruction manual ... but it does open up a whole new world of homebrew :) yey

    You greatly underestimate how many gamers are broke teenagers. This is going to have a great impact on Sony and the future of the PlayStation in general.
