Sony PS3 ModChip (PS JailBreak Hack) USB Dongle for Crack and Dump Games
Sony PS3 (PlayStation 3) is one of the most secure game console currently, in term of ability of been hacked or cracked to play backed-up (read: pirated or illegal duplicated copy) games. Finally, after 4 years since the PS3 was released, hackers have managed to crack the PS3 to play homemade or homebrew games, and save games on the PS3 hard disk drive, through hardware-based modchip in the form of USB key, where else the rest of the game consoles such as XBox 360 and Nintendo Wii have been hacked much earlier.
A hacker group from China, Hong Kong or Malaysia, PS JailBreak, is claiming to manage to crack the Sony PS3, and is releasing a USB dongle that allows PlayStation 3 users to play pirated and homemade games, or otherwise known as homebrew. Previously, Sony PS3 was closed to been hacked by GeoHot, though never went beyond proof of concept, before Sony plugged the OtherOS loophole with firmware 3.21.
The software modchip that is inside the USB stick called PSJailBreak. How the PSJailBreak works is that PSJailBreak is able to let gamers and users play any kind of games and applications, including pirated, backup, unauthorized, unapproved, non-genuine, copied, duplicated or home-made games by converting it into a “debug” unit, a special version of the PS3 used by developers and others to access non-retail versions of games.
The USB dongle also comes loaded with software that enables players to dump or save games to the PS3′s hard drive. The games can then be played from the hard drive by selecting the game from a menu that the mod chip spawns. And, the USB key is able to block mandatory firmware updates, which may detect and disable the PSJailBreak hack, or brick the PS3 system, render the console device unusable.
The best advantage of the USB modchip is that it’s very easy to use. In order to jailbreak and hack the PS3, just insert the USB dongle into a USB port on the PS3, and boot up the console. The valid warranty seal will still be intact as the console is not opened.
Features of PS Jailbreak:
- Backup manager to copy original games on Blu Ray to internal hard drive or USB hard drive (only works on PS3 games).
- Launch games from a dedicated interface.
- Games are run 2X faster than via the DVD or Blu-Ray drive reader.
- Support for all games and homebrew (some games may not be working or incompatible).
- Supports FAT32 (NTFS is not yet implemented).
- The chip firmware can be updated via USB on PC.
- USB plug and play solution.
- Load homebrew apps or games off any USB hard drive/flash drive.
- Sets up in seconds to keep the warranty of your console.

- Works and compatible with all versions of PS3 fat or slim version, including console on latest PS3 firmware 3.41.
- Supports all regions: USA, Japan, PAL and Korea.
- Automatically disables firmware software updates and alerts the bricks of console.
- Online multi-players gaming works as of now (no guarantees in the future as online gaming requires latest firmware version installed).
Various game console modchip dealers and distributors such as FoxChip and OzModChips have received the PSJailBreak USB modchip, and claims that it works as advertised. Various videos have been posted on YouTube to show and proof how the PS3 hack works. Some have started to sell the PSJailBreak USB dongle, and declared it’s the world’s first PS3 Modchip and available in Plug and play mode.
The price for the PSJailBreak USB dongle modchip is not cheap though, priced at around USD $119, €130.00 or AUD $169.99.

To mod your PS3 is not neccessary. If you have the Private Key to sign all games as genuine Sony-ones it's easier to sign them and then play these copies instead.
The good news about it is that the private key of PS3 has been leaked by GeoHot and Sony itself via Twitter.
Just take this key and recompile any game using this one to make it a "genuine Sony" game. have fun.

Do you really need a special usb-stick, or can you just download the hack, put it on an own thumbdrive and use this?
Well, once I heard Sony blocked the Other OS function, I figured this was coming sooner or later. Seriously Sony, of all the people to piss off, you decide to piss off the people who use Linux. That's just going to make them decide they are going to work extra hard to make you douchebags lose money. Don't even bother with a PS4, you're a TV and stereo maker, just give it up already. Just GET OUT already. Make room so that maybe the best games company in the world, the same one you put out of business by throwing money around with your far inferior console.
Now to get another PS3, so I can work on pirating AS MUCH of your software as possible, since I sold mine after that cowardly firmware update.
And still wait, and hope, for, maybe some day, the triumphant return of SEGA to the console market.
Brilliant!
Looking into this, I'm pleased that someone has done such a good job. All the better is that is doesn't use an exploit, so therefore will be incredibly difficult for Sony to do anything about it.
I read some foolish comment from an idiot who said Sony are thinking of disabling USB because of this, which is ridiculous of course.
I won't Sony won't get round it, but the beauty of this system (which is based on Sony's own USB-jig), is that it's similar to the Pandora battery thing – any change by Sony will readily be counter-changed by this device.
Phew – about time! Saves me buying multiple copies of games so that I can play them with my daughters.
