I just took a peek on the ZIP file. I downloaded it and there are some pretty vague instructions.

The exploit focusing pulse a contact point on the circuit board. What does he mean by "pulse"? Do I put what kind of voltage through it? Positive or ground? Better yet, what model of PS3 is this? It's edited in paint and saved as JPEG and it makes the colors screwed up.

Long story short, the exploit is too vague and all it does is some RAM access in OtherOS. The PS3 is still pretty safe unless someone uses the code.]]>Jan 27th 2010 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/Jan 26th 2010 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/=]]]>Jan 26th 2010 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/Jan 26th 2010 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/

Its MIGHT be possible, but its a hell of a lot more difficult.]]>Jan 26th 2010 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/
PS2s are really, really cheap now. Just buy one. It's so much easier. They aren't big or anything. It's a shame PS3s lost this capability, I admit, but I don't think hacking one to play PS2s will be as smart a use of your time as getting a used or new PS2.

Another point, backing up PS3 games is going to be a tremendous hassle. Burning them or storing them on hard drives will get costly. I thought blu-ray games had that coating that made them extremely scratch resistant. I tripped on a game and my foot actually drug it on the floor for about a foot, and it still plays like new... granted it was Fallout 3, which already was kinda glitchy, but I think there's less and less reason to "backup" games.

If you're backing them up to sell them, or to download them from TPB, you're a jerk.]]>Jan 26th 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/Jan 27th 2010 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/playstation-3-exploit-released-hackers-rejoice/Jan 26th 2010 7:11PM
