I love rumors. They make us excited. So, if you are with me, then you will love this story that i just read recently. Earlier, i have reported on PS Jailbreak alleged attempt to charge people for a new firmware update and at the same time enjoying the PS3 Jailbreak ability. Now, there is a new story came up that strengthen my previous report.

Apparently, someone who had access to the certain keys for the PS3 firmware is in contact with PS Jailbreak team. When i meant someone, it has the possibilities of someone who have worked for Sony or had left the company for several obvious reasons. Well, if that someone has an access to the master key, then the PS Jailbreak team is really going to owned Sony this time. In fact, the Japanese corporation almost have no chance to fight back the PS3 Jailbreak scene. If you want to read more, here is my source which has been posted by Falcon80:

The reason i believe the update is real is because of what has been told to me.
No one knows who they are. If they had no more tricks up their sleeve why would they even bother hanging around?

The rumors are that they do get someone either from Sony or that had left Sony that possibly had access to certain keys. If its the master key then Sony are f**ked. Thats probably why they are saying “firmwares” becuase the update will probably work on future firmware version past 3.5……fingers crossed yall!

Again, this is just a rumor, nothing is concrete in this matter. Just for fun kind of thing. Anyway, there are still 4 days left before the official confirmation from PS Jailbreak regarding Backup Manager 1.1 which has “that will blow you all away” things promised from the one who has pioneered the PS3 Jailbreak scene.


So basically if this is true custom firmware will be just around the cornerHappy.
Only thing is,

as far as I can tell from logical knowledge, Sony can can just change the keys and boom we're back to square one lol

I love how everyone says "bye bye ps3" "bye bye sony" "say goodbye to sony" if it were that easy to stop them from controlling their own creation it wouldve been more forcibly done by now. even if the master key is leaked. they can easily create a new one and push FW 3.51, or 3.60 or even FW 4.00. get a grip and read. Sony can in a sense just set out on the noted "ban wave" and ban your console for life. Hell, I wouldnt be surprised they couldnt permanently shut it down or just push a corrupted update that will brick the console.

Just a simple rant.

PSP is way different. Low level security on that device which in a sense cannot be controlled being that it is just a portable device not one that is attached to the psn at all times when playing it.

Ya I shoulda thought of that thanks haha. I was just thinking back on the easy days of alphanumeric haha
