Nah, we still need to get dongles. In fact, we need to have 2 now, one for each usb port.

4 if you have the 4 USB ports model

[snoopdog]

nah you can just use a usb stick to install the new cfw. They are just busting your balls cause if you search or read the website you could find it.

If you have a ps3 that you can downgrade you might pick up one for service mode just in case you ever want to do that sort of thing.

Have to kind of feel bad for all the companies that have thousands in stock, or the ones that were making tons of money....last week.

Now all there stock is useless, and there "retire soon" plan is gone.

Back to the rice patty fields!

I don't feel bad at all. 95% of them did nothing but clone PSGroove and try to pass it off as their own. They bought up thousands of AVR dev boards from suppliers, depleting their stock for everyone else then up the price, stick a cheap plastic shell on the board and never update their payload.
