Sony PS3 hardware finally cracked

Posted on Friday, August 20 2010 @ 18:36 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
BBC News reports hackers have created a "jailbreak" for the PlayStation 3 console:
The PS3 is the only games console that has not been hacked, despite being on the market for more than three years.

Now a group called PSJailbreak says it will release a USB dongle containing software that allows users to save games to the console's hard drive.

Sony, the maker of the PS3, declined to comment.

PSJailbreak has also not responded to interview requests by BBC News.

However, a distributor for the dongle said that he had tested it and would start selling the device "in the next two weeks".
