p.s. get a fuckin headset while you're there.]]>Oct 23rd 2008 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/
Lots of people want homebrew, its not about pirating games. Maybe you would like to backup games to keep them from being scratched or destroyed , etc

Also i bought a headset , i plugged it in and put it in a drawer so i don't have to mute everyone all the time =) ]]>Oct 23rd 2008 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 23rd 2008 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 24th 2008 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/
The PS3 already allows you to very easily install Linux on the PS3 out of the box. You can create any homebrew application that would run on linux, besides that the PS3 supports BD-J which supports a standard java client, and there are NES, SNES emulators that can run simply off a USB thumbdrive without a hack directly from the XMB.

There are many ways to run homebrew apps and Linux on the PS3. The PS3 already supports Divx and DLNA media servers for streaming movies, music, netflix, etc from your PC. Sony has done absolutely nothing to thwart or prevent these 'homebrews' as long as its not used to copy games. These hacking attempts have nothing to do with playing homebrews and more to do with playing copied games.

Let's be honest with ourselves, 99% of 'homebrew' in this context is about piracy. ]]>Oct 24th 2008 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/
I used to run Ubuntu and was able to play steam games on it, might be possible but bloody hard to do this on a PS3]]>Oct 24th 2008 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 24th 2008 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 24th 2008 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/While BD-J is a Java ME for Blu-ray, that does not mean that Java apps will run natively from a USB drive, the PS3 HD, or from a burnt Blu-ray disk. It's main use is for menus and simple games. As far as Linux on PS3 goes, it's a load of crap. You can't use the graphics chip and the Cell isn't the easiest thing to program for. Java, flash, or 99.9% of Linux based games and engines won't make use of the Cell.

Sony bragged about an "open system", then gave us a locked down box with Tux the penguin painted it. You can't do anything you want with PS3-Linux, you can't connect any bluetooth device, you can't even pay a small price for the chance to dev for it. Sony needs to loosen the reigns a little bit on homebrew.]]>Oct 24th 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/

Home? yawn...

I thought is was general consensus that if you bought it, you have the right to;

-Unlock it
-Jailbreak it
-Mod it
-HACK IT
-smash it
-Blend it
-Microwave it
-restore it

On a side note it's kinda ironic that Home was hacked for homebrew, if you catch the horrible pun. :)]]>Oct 23rd 2008 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/
Oh look at me, I can't afford something or don't want something because of my belief of brand loyalty, therefore, I shall state my reasons to the world why I didn't get it!

BTW no I personally cannot afford it (or any other console or game) since I'm only 16 and I don't have a job yet. All my money comes from my parents and doing things like mowing the yard. So yeah I can't afford it...doesn't mean i won't get it though.]]>Oct 23rd 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/

Sony, FYI, your idiots. The more proprietry you make something, the more people you have trying to crack it :)

I have a PS3 but it will soon be hitting that electronic garage sale. Ive seen the light and it involves a shiny new card in that big PC tower of mines (preferably one with a green logo and GTX 260 written on it). :)

A tip for people who don't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're'. When you're typing and you come to a point where you have to type 'your/you're', type 'you are'. If the sentence doesn't make sense, change it to 'your'.

Controller Interface
PS3: Bluetooth – anyone can make peripherals licence free
Xbox 360: Proprietary – peripheral makers must pay a licence fee to MS

Hard disk
PS3: Standard 2.5inch drive – use any hard disk you want
Xbox 360: Proprietary – only Microsoft’s obscenely priced drives can be used

Online Network:
PS3: Open – developers can implement the network code as they wish allowing things like cross platform play and game mods
Xbox 360: Proprietary – no cross platform play possible and mods must be released through Xbox Live hence the lack of Unreal Tournament mods

USB
PS3: Open, plug in any keyboard or mouse and it will work fine
Xbox 360: Standard USB keyboards and mice won’t work so you have to buy the controller keypad add on

WiFi
PS3: Built in
Xbox 360: Proprietary add on – Microsoft have made sure only the official USB WiFi adapter can be used allowing them to charge ten times the price of a standard WiFi adapter.

Operating System
PS3: Option to install Linux and use the PS3 as a computer
Xbox 360: Installation of operating systems not allowed]]>Oct 23rd 2008 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/
Good post but one error i'm aware of. You can plug in a standard USB keyboard into a 360. I've been using it for MSN for sometime. You can also navigate with it. What is infuriating though, is that the media center keyboard doesnt work with the 360 when it uses the same IR interface as the remote. I believe you can use certain wireless keyboards too but you only get 1 usb port.. what you gonna do?]]>Oct 24th 2008 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 23rd 2008 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 23rd 2008 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 23rd 2008 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 23rd 2008 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/IRC FTW]]>Oct 23rd 2008 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 23rd 2008 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 23rd 2008 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/playstation-home-hacked-the-search-for-backup-exploits-begins/Oct 23rd 2008 7:44PM
