137w ago - According to Gamersmint.com (linked above), Sony has now succeeded in banning sales of the PSJailBreak PS3 modchip USB device in Europe.
This news comes just days after
document leaks and
UKIE support for Sony's swift legal action were announced.
To quote: "Sony has finally succeeded in banning the selling of the modchip in Europe.
After releasing a security firmware update which made the PSJailbreak useless, Sony has gone 1up now and the Japanese manufacturer has cut the grass from under the feet of prospective hackers through an order which makes it illegal to sell the modchip and all its clones in Europe.
This news has been confirmed by
ChipSpain, one of the leading modchip online retailers who have taken off their stock of the PSJailbreak from their website following this recent order.
Friday, October 8, 2010 · Prohibition to sell PS Jailbreak and its clones. PS jailbreak and similar products have been withdrawn from stock. All orders will continue to receive full support."

Exactly! Pure nonsense.
we can make the dongle... psgroove. i have make a dongle for me. screw Sony laws for the selling of the modchip. there is another way around, and can't be ban.
it seems that the banning only affects countries of the european union. but you cant still buy it from our friends in switzerland. there is one swiss distributor on the psjailbreak page who still sells the device. only for those interested in buying it.

They're still selling SwapMagic though, lol.
