hah I'm sure that when psp solution comes out the amount of hacked consoles will skyrocket also the 1.1 version better allow the orange box to work
Once a widespread solution arrives it won't take long. I think the PSP is the most likely candidate for most PS3 owners.
If this eventually gets ported to both Android and iPhone based phones, then that will also help a lot.
At 42% the cost of a new slim 120GB console (which is 300 bucks on walmart.com), this "modchip" is rather pricey. Their going to need to prove their support for keeping the hack working if I'm going to shell out over a 100 bucks. I don't want a 100$ paperweight, ya know?
1) They originally wrote the exploit
2) They wrote the Backup Manager
3) The reason why they sell it at that price is that the time and effort put into making this is - as history teach us - priceless.
So show some respect, without those guys there would've been no Rips floating around or any howebrew scene what-so-ever.
200 % agree!!
@ Nikox
You don't even know what respect is!
We should respect the guys from the team. Because without them.. we all still would be waiting for some CFW that was impossible to make. Now with this we can do so much more!!
If true, then these prices just means they're aware that they can't stop other people copying their dongles a la psgroove. It also probably means they know their backup manager is going to be cracked to be used with any dongle, or that it won't be able to tell the difference between their dongle and any other one.
If they want to compete in the market full of clones they have to lower their prices around 50$ and people will definately buy it.
If they only charged $50, and guaranteed it to work with updates, I would buy it, even with the free options on the market. Less hassels is worth some money. It is not worth $160 tho.
