$5 USB Dongle

**phlak** · 10-01-2010,10:34 AM

While scouring over the internet for PSFreedom updates I came across this yesterday and I wanted to know what you guys thought? It seems legit but on the other hand seems to good to be true.

I found another Dongle at Deal Extreme for $1.80 free shipping

Please elaborate on your answer to why this would work or not.

Seems fake...I remember reading someone's thread a while back where they were sold this exact device, with the salesman claiming that it could jailbreak their PS3. The result, well it didn't work

. Anyways I really doubt any of the chips that the PSGroove has been ported on to will fit in the device (PIC or ATMEL). Aside from that fact, it just doesn't seem right otherwise you would heard a lot about it...

that first link is IMPOSSIBLE for the chip to fit in something THAT small. TOTALLY FAKE!!!!!

as for the second link, that is supposedly a bluetooth dongle and it is ENTIRELY possible to have a BT dongle that is that small. the bluetooth chip that fits in your laptop is super tiny. plus 1.80 with free ship is insanely cheap for a bluetooth dongle too. i would be leery of both of those dude.

I figured it was to good to be true. Thanks for your input guys. As for now I guess I will stick with my Itouch 1G until I get a dongle!

i would HIGHLY recommend getting a development board instead of a cheap chinese clone. those are a waste of money.
