    For those who are unsure about getting the true blue dongle this is a review on why should you get one.

    For the best results go buy one from ModCentral the downside is that the shipping is 9.95 but you will get your dongle in a week.
    Surprisingly I had expected like a small package with instructions but just came in a silver package with just the blank dongle. No instructions.

    Follow the instructions on the sticky on what Jay-Jay made out they are really simple to do. Im unsure if you can just update the dongle to 2.5 fw so I just went in order . FYI when you update to 2.5 FW your ps3 (well at-least mines did) it will still say True Blue v2.4 but keep in mind it is updated to 2.5 since I was playing the Darkness 2 Recently (Cool Game)

    Anyways since all the boring stuff is out the way its time for the review

    1. Design 9/10
    I like how the dongle is made and it feels pretty solid and durable it also comes with a cover.

    2. User friendliness 7/10
    The instructions are easy to use all you have to do is just follow the sticky made by Jay-Jay. It still would of been nice of them to include instructions with the dongle.

    3. Compatibility 8.5/10
    Testing this dongle it played mostly all my games except WWE 12 since I have an SD TV so the menu screen was bigger (Keep in mind for those who still have SD TV you actually need a HD tv to fully enjoy the game)

    4. Price 9/10
    The price is fair 60 dollars is not bad since it is the cost of a retail PS3 game.

    FINAL REVIEW
    8.5/10
    The dongle is worth buying but I believe there will be some games (Batman Arkham City, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Resistance 3 or other future games that probally wont work) But with all the newer games this will keep you busy for a while. I highly recommend the true blue dongle.

    Plz stay positive this is my review so if you have nothing good to say about the dongle plz go back to playing uncharted 3 or older games and dont comment. This is for people who are unsure if they are ready to buy the dongle. For the cheap clones out there I would advise to not buy them. You want to stick with Developers who are constantly updating their gaming library and satisfying their customers. So If you are tired of playing older video games and still want to play up to date true blue is something to look into.

    True blue is like a paid service you are getting quality service for paying very little for example if you want to play Mass Effect 3 the true blue can play that and the game cost 60 dollars in stores. The dongle paid for itself. Yes most of the dongle is DRM but at the same time the DRM is keeping the dongle still play worthy for the developers to keep on patching newer games. Since Sony dont know how they are patching the games True Blue still stand strong.

    If you are tired of playing old games like Uncharted 3 or Sonic Generations (the last games Kmeaw 3.55) Firmware has to offer go ahead and whip out your credit card and buy a true blue.

    Whats the point of having a CFW just for it to play outdated games? After a while they will all get boring when the newest title you really want to play comes out. That really makes no sense. Anyways as I stressed before this is not about the money this is a quality service. You are receiving quality when you pay for something. If you want quality buy a true blue.

    I think why they don't include instructions or dongle firmware pre installed is for legal reasons. They are selling you a piece of hardware. What you do with it is up to you.

    as mentioned instructions are not included for legal reasons but are available on there website for any1 i agree the dongle is worth getting for the extra games you get to play but the only reason i purchased 1 was because it was offered cheap i have a few consoles 1 for the tb dongle a couple on kmeaw and a couple for online then 1 thats never been used gathering dust under the t.v.

    I am thinking on getting one, but I live in Mexico, so the shipping is a bit*h, too bad there isn`t any re-sellers on Mexico :/
