PS3 System Software Update 3.15 Introduces PSP Minis & More!

[fandangobr]

I wonder what would happen if one:
1. performs a full system backup on PS3 (A)
2. transfers a locked savegame (say, Rockband, SF4) to a second PS3 (B)
3. restores full backup on original PS3 (A)

Would we have 2 identical copylocked savegames on 2 diferrent PS3s A and B? That was impossible with copylocked savegames prior to this update...

Correct, at least from what I've heard as well. PS3 Firmware 3.15 is supposed to include the ability to transfer data between to PS3s via an ethernet cable, support for playing PSP Minis on the PS3 and a fix for DualShock 3 pairing issues.

I guess we'll see soon enough, hopefully later tonight.. although it's not officially supposed to be released until tomorrow (the 10th).

This sounds great but shame you need 2 PS3's to transfer everything, but the psp thing looks pretty kool.

There are hardware devices that could accomplish this task easily, at the end it's a network transmission... not so difficult to sniff ...

Devilish IDEA !!!

But they speak about activate the system, maybe they've set up some kind of protection to prevent at least the online use of two cloned systems cuz internal cypher keys are console sensitive... but for non online use for sure it could work...IF they haven't set up some kind of bond between the local account and the P$N one, for example, to force the whole system to be activated online... but I don't believe it, they are $ony at the end, not micro$oft...

I have to guess that for "full system backup" you mean a 1:1 copy of the drive right ? Well this could be a good way to undercover if in the whole process some data is stored onto the NAND as well, I mean if there is some kind of file-map or whatelse aside the Magic-Gate key onto the system flash.

Ehrr!! I meant "to discover" ...

Let we take a larger picture... it could be only partially useful...

...at least if you mind to use it in a connected (well, two connected) environment. Have you readen the full EULA of P$N lately (4.20) ?

Do you know that they checks savegames as well as everything else when you're connected ?

And they can lock your system (read --> PS3) only for breaking a single statement of the LA ?

And....well, if you didn't then give yourself a break and go read it, your hairs could whitens if not drop.

I'm not so sure it could be a so good idea, the EULA you've agreed is a blood signed one, and the blood is your of course.

Be careful if you try the trick to not go online at least, this is my hint, furthermore lately is becoming fashion to lock down rake systems, my fear (well not big fear for me in fact cause I will never agree their halter EULA, my privacy is priceless ) is that they could start emulating M$ one day or another.
