インドネシアでPS3のJailbreakに成功

インドネシアのJB2 DONGLEと呼ばれるものを使ってPS3のJailbreakに成功したそうです。初代のGeoHotではファームウェア3.55で動いていましたが、現在の3.73では動作しなくなっていたそうです。


このJB2 DONGLEではブルーレイに焼かれたFIFA12をプレイしている動画が公開されています。またこのJB2 DONGLEは45ドルで販売されているそうです。




ただし個人的な意見をいえばこうしたものを購入するのは違法なものに投資をするようなもので、もっと良いお金の使い道があるような気がします。


A team from Indonesia claims it has successfully jailbroken the PS3 with a new dongle it's calling "JB2." JB2 is supposedly based on the original jailbreak key produced by GeoHot and works on firmware version 3.55 consoles, but plays games up to the current version, 3.73, PS3Crunch reports (as of writing, the PS3Crunch website is down, whether from server overload or more purposeful action is unclear).

The dongle will play titles burned onto Blu-ray discs via HDD, including FIFA 12, Driver: San Francisco, God of War: Origins Collection, Pro Evolution Soccer 2012, X-Men Destiny andSniper Ghost Warrior, PS3Crunch says. The dongle is now circulating in Indonesia and will be sold globally for roughly $45, reports say.

The above video supposedly shows the JB2 in action, booting up to a developer-build screen and expanded option set. Personally, finding and buying the JB2, getting BD-Rs and burning copies of new games seems like more work than we'd ever invest in an illegal, temporary piece of hardware. Maybe that's just us -- given, we're extremely smart, well-informed, good-looking and all-around cool people -- but again, that's just us.
