Recently xorloser has released a PS3 NID Attack Tool for other PS3 Devs. To quote:
NidAttack was a tool created to work out PRX export/import names by dictionary attack. A PRX file is a DLL file for Playstation consoles; (Playstation Relocatable eXecutable ... maybe)
NidAttack was initially created by others to work out PSP export/import names and I have just altered it slightly to also calculate PS3 names.
Included is an xml database of all exports from PRX files found in the PS3 v2.30 system flash. Also present is a file with NIDs for just the unknown names, so these are the ones to use NidAttack on.

From the included ReadMe file:
hashes.txt - This is the list of hashes from ps3.xml that are currently unknown.
nidattack.xex - This is the nidattack tool from the PSP section of the ps2dev.org svn. I just ad... More »
Update: PS3 NAND Flow Rebuilder v3.36 BETA is now out, which fixes a tiny bug.
This tool, although in beta stage, allows you to unscramble the blocks of a PS3 dumps ordering them in a way that the dumps become readable and extractable!
From now on it also allow you to re-scramble back to the original order once you modified the data you want!
It's for study and tests purposes, for experienced people only (devs) that this way can manage the files inside the flashes.

2) It now... More »
A few days ago it was revealed that Sony was to drop the price of the PlayTV recorder device for the PS3, but they also dropped one of the best proposed features. That is the ability to transfer recordings to wherever you want, this will be sure to put off many what would have been potential buyers.
To quote: I've had a good old grumble about the price of PlayTV so I should be happy, right? Sony saw people struggling to pay food, electricity and petrol bills and said 'you know what, let's cut them some slack for a change'.
Unfortunately, at some point in the planning of this price trim, someone came up with a profoundly stupid idea - to TAKE AWAY the option to transfer recordings to wherever you want.
This feature alone has always been one of the main draws for PlayTV for me. I want to make recordings of TV shows. If I don't have time to watch them, I'll copy them onto my PSP and watch them on the train.
Or maybe if I'm feeling too... More »

To quote from xorloser's Web site linked above:
This is a PS3 loader for IDA, it lets you open PS3 elf/self/prx/sprx files in IDA. I highly recommend you use this with the PPC-Altivec plug-in also available on this site.
Download: PS3 ELF/SELF/PRX/SPRX PPU Loader v1.1 for IDA v5.2
THIS DOES NOT DECRYPT ANY FILES !!!! That means that for now this loader will ONLY work on unencrypted files. There are a few such files "in the wild" that have been found on Sony update servers and such.
As well as loading the supported PS3 filetypes in both 32bit and 64bit vesions of IDA this also resolves and sets up all imports, exports and syscalls. It also only supports PS3 PPU files as the PS3 SPU CPU is not supported by IDA at this time... More »
The announcement was made earlier today that FFXIII is coming out on Xbox 360 too. In fact, it'll be a simultaneous release on both PS3 and Xbox 360 for US and Europe. Today's Square Enix E3 press conference clarified a few details.
First: Final Fantasy XIII is still a PS3-exclusive... at least in Japan. According to Kotaku, Square Enix exec Shinji Hashimoto told reporters: "I think you are right [in assuming that (the Xbox 360 version) is not coming out in Japan.]" It will only appear on Xbox 360 in English-speaking territories.
In addition, Final Fantasy XIII will release in Japan first -- and then will be localized for the international audience. That means Japanese gamers will enjoy FFXIII on PS3 long before the rest of the world will see it go multiplatform.
Hashimoto says that the Xbox 360's large install base in English territories is what led to the decision to make the game multiplatform. Because the decision was recent, there's ... More »

10. Tales of Vesperia
If anybody had told me I’d see a Tales game on the 360 at launch I would’ve laughed heartily before returning to my PS2 and GameCube. But how times have changed and what an unexpectedly strong JRPG library the 3... More »
