(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); 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… your 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.

im just the type of person to look to see if something wont work, i knew it would really cause i hacked my wii ages ago and i knew how it all works with discs and stuff so this is basically the same

i still dont understand the point in this thing...

Good. This prevents them from having a monopoly over the device. This way they can't charge outrageous prices because they have to compete with others.

didnt relise that, and some copies might actually be better

I can't imagine the people behind PSJailbreak didn't think something like this was going to happen. It's not like they can really trademark or patent anything because it uses stolen Sony code/SDK's. Now if they were able to build all of the code from scratch themselves then that would be a different story. It's just a matter of time before Sony makes this company disappear. That may be the reason they want so much money ($150?) so they could rake in as much money in the shortest period of time before they are shutdown. Time will tell how things go. I myself plan on buying a "cheap, knockoff" for $20-$40 and waiting a bit to see how things go before I use it.

Way too overpriced. When I saw this I thought COOL but all I saw was the same makers of the ipod jailbreak being super greedy because Sony will patch this....

Really? o_O

Ironic as hell. Well to bad. The pirates have been pirated. I'm on neither side. To hell with pirated games!

god damn mongolians.....
