PSN Firmware Update 3.5 Disables 3rd Party Devices
The latest PSN firmware update 3.5 disables a number of 3rd party devices in response to the PS3 hacks that work via USB.
Sony has issued the following statement:
“Counterfeit PlayStation®3 Wireless Controllers, which are practically identical in appearance to genuine PlayStation®3 Wireless Controllers, have been discovered in the market. SCEA advises consumers to be cautious when buying PlayStation®3 Wireless Controllers from uncertain sources as the quality, reliability and safety of counterfeit products is uncertain, and in some cases, may be dangerous. It is possible that some counterfeit product may ignite or explode, resulting in injury or damage to the user, your PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, or other property. Moreover, SCEA does not support continued functionality of counterfeit or unlicensed controllers in system software updates and these devices may cease to function in the future because of system software updates.”

PS3 pirated games are now appearing on the torrent sites.All games state that the ps3 jailbreak is required for that hacked game to work.Even unreleased games like Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 are availble for ps3 from some torrent sites.But this kinds of torrents are not high in number like the xbox 360 torrents so its gonnna need some heavy searching.
Check this link it includes the Red Dead Redemption pirated version for ps3 😯
