PSJailbreak is real, is sold out, likely to get your console banned
And how is it compromised? DF writes that the presence of the debug options "suggests that elements of the bespoke system updates used on the debug PS3s are being injected into the memory of the retail unit." That coupled with the USB stick, which DF posits was likely reverse-engineered from the same "USB-based tools Sony uses to test and recover PS3s with corrupt firmware."
So, it's real ... what's next? This is the PlayStation 3 we're talking about, so ... a mandatory firmware update! Sure, an update designed to protect the console is practically the definition of when a mandatory update is appropriate. DF writes, "We can fully expect a mandatory firmware update to emerge from [Sony's] engineering labs within days of the firm dissecting the hack, doubtless rendering it useless." But what about that USB stick? Like the PSP's Pandora battery, a motherboard revision will likely be necessary to render the USB approach inert and, as long as it's available and users stay off of PSN, they could continue on their illicit way.
PSN! Can't Sony tell which users have used the hack and ban them from the service ... or worse, ban their entire console? DF says that's "not beyond the realms of possibility" and PS3Hax reports that Sony could log usage of the "Backup manager game ID (LAUN-12345)" if signed into PSN. It's likely that none of this matters since, as reported by CVG, PSJailbreak is already sold out ... even at its steep $130 asking price. Considering how easily copied the USB hardware would be, and the probably short lifespan of the software hack thanks to an upgradeable system and vigilant Sony engineers, we're inclined to agree with DF. "The makers of PSJailbreak are charging so high a price because the window of opportunity in terms of exclusivity and the longevity of the hack itself is potentially very small."

All the jailbreak lets you do is copy games to the HDD because most likely you dont have a computer that can copy Blu-Ray...

Its like a Jtag. You wont get banned and you will be able to carry on your mayy way with your new modded ps3. JUST KEEP OFF PSN "Simple." Who knows what kind of homebrew this could spark. Maybe and most likely some cool apps and may even a new xmb???
Hopefully we can make our own with the files ripped from people who spent that crazy price on it. or wait for a $20 clone....
