I have agree, even though this is "PS3NEWS" all the Xbox 360 sites have news about how the PS3 scene is going.

I flashed my 360 years ago then got RROD since then I've bought a new 1 & a slim for kids & if there is a way to back-up my games to external HDD the its a definite yep from me. I will say though C4E has been doing great work for years & its always been free, so I will wait & see how this pans out before rushing head first into the abyss.

funk you sony.. this looks good.. with all the sid that comes along with sony and there disregard for customer safety and satisfaction i think i'll give xbox a go now... i've always been a ps guy since ps1 but they have lost me now...

i can't wait to get my xbox.. never thought i'd ever say that.. LOL but i think my xbox is gonna be unreal with this device... cannot wait...

This looks really good. It should sell well once the new XGD3 format comes out and stops people being able to use Kreon flashed Samsung drives to make their backups. As far as Xbox360 info on a PS3 site, I personally think it's great. I've got a wii, PS3 and a 360, so keeping up with console related info is good.

This is just the stepping stone. Next thing you know, it'll be like the ps3. The system would be fully compromised unless they would revised a new hardware... again. haha.
