124w ago - Today I received two PS3 USB JailBreak 2.5" Slim External Enclosures from PS3USBJailBreak.com to review, one with a 500GB HDD & one without.

When the DHL truck arrived today i was excited, the samples were finally here! The packaging wasn't the best but it was acceptable.

The enclosures were in a thin plastic box that was then wrapped in bubble wrap with about 2 miles of tape wrapped around to hold the bubble wrap. Wasn't pretty but it worked!

I must say this is a very nice product, in a nutshell it is a PS3 USB Jailbreak Adapter (AT64S) with a 500GB Seagate HDD (upgradable) inside an slim external enclosure. It will jailbreak your ps3 & store your games all on the same device. The best feature in my opinion is that it comes preloaded with 40+ PS3 Games! Games like GOWIII, Dante's Inferno, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Soul Caliber IV, NBA Jam, NBA2k11, Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, Mirrors Edge. The list goes on & on!

The Web site printed on the enclosure doesn't feature this new product on their site yet, but it does have the essential information and software needed to flash the built in PS3USBJailbreak.

Surprisingly, the enclosure came pre-flashed with HermesV4b...

134w ago - While working on PS3 Acid I came in contact with the P3J Team who offer a PS3 JIG USB Development Board at their site (linked above) and so I got some test samples to review for PlayStation 3 JailBreak users and made a video of it in action.

135w ago - Just under a month ago the P3Hub was announced, and today I have reviewed the P3Hub 2 which is also a PS JailBreak clone with a USB hub built-in.

Here is my review from the P3Hub 2 which I got from www.P3Hub.com (linked above):

Shipping info:

Again (see my other review from PS3Break v1.1) the package was sent with DHL Express mail.

Which means it can be all over the world in just 3-5 business days. The box was sealed with a lot of tape and the content comments were a little funny but different from the PS3Break:

• 1x USB Hub reader usb

The package came through the customs without being opened or withdrawn. Payment is via CC and Paypal. If I have to believe where it is shipping from, it comes from Hong Kong.

So I would say shipping is a big 9/10

Package info:

The box from the P3Hub2 looks very nice. The product is on the box + there is another Truth Inquiry were you can see whether the unit is legit or not. Of course mine was legit!

When I opened the box you find a soft...
