you will need it everytime to run ur backup manager on ps3. the best choice is to wait a week more or to buy a phone which supports this hack

Still no PSP port ?? You would assume that PSP Port will be out before all of those others... Seems strange :( and irritating :mad: bring it out already....

Another question, If i download a game and put it on my PS3's Hard Disk... The BackUp manager will recognize it ? right ? Is there a special Folder/place where it should be copied ?

FW 3.42 effectively blocks this hack. Sony's response is swift. They're asking you to choose between PSN or Piracy.

You, sir, need a 360 for your pirating needs :p

You, sir, already HAVE a 360. Why bother with PS3's hack?!

Uncharted 1,2
Resistamce
Infamous
Killzone
Heavenly Sword
Folklore

and maybe some other first party titles which i missed... Thats reason enough i guess..
I just realized how many games i missed... because of cost... I only own God of War, MGS and Heavey Rain

I mainly use PS3 to watch High-Def content, so now i am waiting for a CFW which would allow me to watch all those MKV files without muxing...

ahahah 360 is for fps fan kids, serious gamers need ps3 :p

PS: I am not starting 360 vs ps3 here.
Well i'll still use PS3 to play FPS :p Killzone, Resistance which i know are a lot better than many of 360's FPS

It would be sooo funny if all of this haults and if hackers fail to jailbreak the PS3 again with the new firmware upgrade that we have now. The whole cat and mouse thing has started already and this will only get more interested in the coming days. Right now the situation is as following:

Sony 1. Hackers 0

I have a feeling we'll be seeing a CFW very soon .. ! :)
Not gonna happpen anytime soon. The hack is still very much limited to lv2 (gameOs). Unless someones finds another exploit (preferably in lv1) using THIS exploit, everyone will be pretty much limited to just small patches to PSgroove/psjb-updates (that'll add smaller features). Mathieulh and his team spent months trying to progress upon geohot's exploit. They kept things private about whatever progress they made till right before the jailbreak release. If it weren't for the PSJB team, these guys would still be searching for the perfect exploit to get rid of hardware dependencies e.g. those in geohot's exploit.

you can play offline games with the hack as much as you want. online play works though a hack for now (call Logan5), but it'll be soon removed also, because this circumvention was once disabled, now outta nowhere is working again, but it'll be short lived.

so yeah, either its PSN (online games) or offline games ,choose one

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
