I don't like cheating!!

Also it claims just to be for 3.41. They should think about that carefully cause it make no sense for me.

I wonder how it will work. Like how do you use a specific cheat in game. Will there be a special menu option on the XMB or maybe you have to install an app? This will probably be reversed and released for "free" after a while.

Just like the Gameshark & ActionReplay good old days, cheating devices aren't established on the ps3 up to this moment because of the various encryptions on the system, seems like the jailbreak has a major part in this.

Bout time! This may come in handy for unlocking all cars and parts for GT5

Rumor has it P3Go has plans with something like this and the downgrader.

[costocart]

why would anyone want to cheat? it makes the game really boring. there will be no sense of achievement and satisfaction when unlocking things through cheat. it kills the fun for me.

[Zentsuken]

This is exactly what I feared. Man.. goodbye PSN if this bs happens. =/

[anticon]

While i do agree that cheating online is wrong, I for one am happy about this news, I prefer to be able to cheat in my single player games, especially games like final fantasy that include way more grinding than I have time for and/or games like demons souls that do not have an easy difficulty level.

[djcopey]

I don't mind cheating when i want a quick mess about, but main gameplay has to be cheat free imo or as stated above your just cheating yourself.
