Rumor: Sony to combat PSJailbreak by removing dev and debug modes on new PS3's

I have heard from a good source about Sony's next move to combat the PS3 hack (from an Australian source). This is what he told me - "I heard Sony is holding back new supply of consoles, as they are removing dev and debug modes. this means you cannot get consoles easily fixed in repair centres so no more extended warranties. THIS MEANS PSJB AND PSGROOVE WILL NO LONGER WORK ON NEW CONSOLES". Moreover, it is expected that the new 320GB PS3's will have firmware loaded onto the HDD and encrypted in a way that will not allow you to copy games to a new HDD as it will be locked to the retail HDD

So you wont be able to just swap out the harddrive in future revisions if this is true...So the list grows of stuff removed from the PS3:

Card Readers
PS2 Compatability
2 usb ports
Power Switch
Other OS
Game Sharing
and now the ability to upgrade the hdd.

Fail!

Anyone playing Uncharted 2 MP still?

I'm thinking of dragging myself away from BC2 and trying out some UC2 MP. Are there still games going? How's the lag?

Is it server based so I can play randoms or do I need to join local games?

I don't have a headset for my PS3, but if anyone's keen to give it a go let's organise...

I took the plunge

So I went to makro today, they having a birthday sale and they had a special on the PS3 120gb slimline with 1 game for R2999, I took a deep breath and swiped my card :-) its now sitting very nicely next to my Xbox 360 on my desk

Another irritating thing about PS3!

First off all let me make it clear –Im not a fan boy!! I love Games and have both a PS3 and an Xbox and if I had enough cash I would own a powerhouse PC, Wii, PSP & DSi.

Now on to it… Im currently playing Demon’s Souls on PS3. It’s a RPG in the same sense as Dragon Age origins but a bit more like Diablo, just one of the hardest games Ive ever played, well at least the most unforgiving!

One of the problems with the game is that it has NO MUSIC at all. You walk through dungeon and castles over and over in dead silence.

The theme of the game kinda suits some hard metal music, so it would be nice to just go to your playlist on your PS3 hard drive and play the music you have saved there, or maybe from a memory stick.

But no, the PS3 says **** YOU, play in silence you ****, cause you cannot listen to music while playing a game! WTF, why not? If Xbox can do it with its 4 core processor then why in the name of **** can PS3 with its 9 core processor not do it??:x

F1 2010 graphics rivaling or even better than GT5?
