The PS3Jailbreak “modification” allows gamers to play homemade and pirated games on the game’s console. The ban prevents OzModChips, a popular Mod Supplier and Quantronics from importing, distributing or selling the device. Sony has until August 31 to makes its case to the court for a permanent ban. If it fails, the chips could go on sale on 1 September.
PS3Jailbreak is a dongle containing software that allows users to save games to the console’s hard drive. It is the first product to crack the security on the PS3 as many companies have tried and failed before. It was met with scepticism when videos of the device – posted by OzModChips – first appeared online in early August.
When the chip is installed the console will be able to use unsigned code and can use backup loaders or launchers to play saved games on the console without the disk being inside! Similar to USB loaders on the Nintendo Wii. We don’t know if Sony will take action but I highly doubt it.
