    Here is an update From the PS3key Team..

    "A number of people have contacted us to say that they've bought
    a PS3Key that doesn't have an Atmel chip inside it. These people
    are, quite rightly, worried that this will make it impossible to
    update their PS3Key.

    To save you the trouble of removing the PCB from the metal casing
    to check whether or not your PS3Key is genuine, you can check
    your serial number through the website using our handy little
    Validation Tool at http://www.ps3key.com/en/validate/. You can
    even register your serial number to your PS3Key account, locking
    it so that nobody can steal it from you, ensuring you have access
    to software downloads when they become available.

    If your PS3Key did not come with a yellow barcode/serial number
    sticker, then please contact the place you bought it from
    immediately!

    Thank you for staying loyal to the PS3Key brand -- you will not
    regret it!

    PS3Key Team"

    Genuine Product Check is a nice marketing tool against clones.

    I got this email too.

    ****ing love this, they essentially cloned another group's device who subsequently took at least part of that device from Sony and are now complaining about people cloning their clone of a clone.

    In my very humble opinion, anybody on here who opted for one of those devices over a programmable OS board is a fool anyway. Groove will be the scene standard for these devices (possibly in alignment with the official PSJB dependant upon how that one pans out) and every poster on here knows that those boards exist and can be found in most major territories without too much difficulty.

    No... Their problem is that someone cloned their clone, but shipped with a PIC instead of a reflasheable ATMEL chip.

    Then, they get complains from a product they didn't produce! Now, that's annoying

    They shouldn't have muscled in on another team's turf then really.

    The PS3Key team have more experience with clones than virtually any other currently group since the Wiikey was cloned to death. Let's not forget that they are a modchip manufacturer at the end of the day though at the end of the day, all modchips are unofficial.

    I'm not defending who cloned who, however, PS3Key is not selling a clone. Is selling a device with ATMEL chip that can be used to flash with PSGroove. I know PSGroove basically cloned PSJailbreak, but at least, is free.
