No incentive for me to really download games at the moment. Plus, I'd need to go get a nice external HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Sony just released the 3.56 update. It currently disables homebrew. I had made my CFW file and then read about it. Then I just deleted the CFW file and decided to save the $70 i was going to use on a 1 TB external HDD. I'll wait until they have 3.56 figured out I guess.

My plan for this was to not buy the single player games, but buy the games I really like (like The Show or Madden) or were online-heavy. I hope they'll have 3.56 figured out sometime soon. It shouldn't be too hard. The hack itself is hardware oriented. Edited January 27, 2011 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the origin of this hack wasn't exactly Geohot's doing. But that dude hacked the PS3 with an oscilloscope earlier in the year. I can't even fathom how that's possible.

Might not be 100% effective, but there will be one one day. Sony was unable to do anything about PSP homebrew for a long, long time. Hell, they still haven't really affected it. BTW, Sony just unveiled the new PSP2. 5 inch OLED screen. Two analog sticks. Touch screen on the back and front as well as cameras. It's gonna be awesome. http://kotaku.com/5744558/a-closer-look-at...-ngp//gallery/1 Edited January 27, 2011 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippedoutpunk Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 also know that if you have custom firmware, do NOT upgrade to the new firmware, you will brick your system. wait for the new custom firmware to come out.. and if you absolutely must play online with the old firmware.. google "ps3 DNS trick".

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I don't see the point of buying a PSP until they allow you to purchase the PS3 version of a game, and it comes with the UMD or whatever the PSP disc is called. I don't see the point of buying a game twice, or ever buying a game for the PSP that is also on the PS3. Or even if they charged an extra $10 to get the PSP version as well, I'd be more likely to actually get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
