Update #4: After having another day with my
PS3 to experiment, check
HERE for my latest findings along with 20+
new pictures too! :sortdesc:
Update #3: For those interested, the
official PS3 Safety And Support User Manual and
PS3 Quick Reference User Manual are now available for download in PDF file format. Also, we added four
more PSP RipKits today you can access by clicking the 'Read More...' link below. :smile2
Update #2: I spent the last few hours unpacking my
PS3 and took several screenshots which are available along with an initial examination and review
HERE (added some
new PSP news as well there). More to come as I find freetime this weekend to experiment further and dive deeper into the
PS3! =]
Update: I will periodically UPDATE throughout the weekend, and although I haven't even opened the
PS3 console box yet, I have opened the
PS3 game I got with it up- namely
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom. Here are some pics of it for those interested (I would have scanned it, but I don't have a scanner available so unfortunately I'm stuck with a regular digital camera):
UL: DK Case Front,
UL: DK Case Back,
UL: DK Case Open,
UL: DK Disc Front,
UL: DK Disc Back, and
UL: DK Disc Inner-Ring. For reference, the back of the
PS3 game disc appears similar to a regular DVD-style disc... it does not contain any unique 'grooves' but it does contain a
PlayStation 3 hologram, some numbers, and an encoded bar code around the center ring (likely containing the Disc ID data). :shades:
And so
11/17 has
finally arrived! Many are the cold, the wet, the disappointed... my local BestBuy had over 1000 dedicated souls waiting in their parking lot, with only 32
PS3 consoles available when the clock struck three. Those who waited in line for hours and even days prior were forced to leave the premises by police prior to 3AM (no idea why it wasn't 12AM as many retailers launched at... it definitely didn't deter anyone from waiting). Everyone was informed that it would be first-come, first-serve ONLY and as the magical hour approached the masses poured into the parking lot from the property line on all boundaries... running across the parking lot, coming out of bushes, and naturally chaos ensued. :eek2
As mentioned in our
Site News last month, I was fortunate enough not to be one of those above. I managed to get one of only four Pre-Orders from my local shop- the coveted 60GB
PS3 console! It's VERY tempting to http://www.ebay.com/ it, however, as I purchased it today the store manager informed me that they didn't know when they would be getting more in- and it could very well be after Christmas. With that in mind, running
PS3News.com just wouldn't be the same without actually
owning a
PS3 console so I've decided to keep it. :tongue2
Over the weekend I will dedicate a lot of time to unpacking it, adding LOTs of pictures, and hopefully even a
PS3 Disassembly Tutorial to our Web site along with testing Swap Magic, HD Advance, USB Extreme (very excited about this one- it seems to have the most benefits thus far), and other
pressed unlicensed PS2 software on the
PS3! We'd LOVE to hear from others who also got a
PS3 today, so please feel free to share your stories, experiments, etc in our
PS3 Chat Forum... more to come soon!

Thanks to AhMan's new nethostfs modules, I added WIFI support to CSO cache system of my mod. Since AhMan prefer I bundle his modules after IRSELL 2.2SE public release, this archive only includes my modules and you have to be IRSHELL 2.2SE beta tester to get those modules. Please follow the readme.txt instructions and copy nethostfs.prx, nethostfs_dev.prx and netuser.prx from your IRSHELL 2.2SE BETA package to "ms0:/dh/kd".
