PS3 Slim Blu-Ray Drive Dumped!

[garyopa]

Modrobert is reporting on his site http://EurAsia.nu that the Slim Blu-Ray drive firmware has been successfully dumped by the Calimba/HadesTeam over at DemonHades.org using their custom-built SATA flat ribbon cable that the PS3 Slim drive happens to use, which the older PHAT models didn't use.

Also the Slim PS3 drive has all it's firmware stored in small 8pin flash chip, which has been proven in the past to contain the "drive key" also, as just swapping this chip between Slim PS3 boards, allows the "swapped" drive to read Blu-Ray discs fine. -- Whereas before on the PHAT models, the firmware was stored in much larger 48pin BGA flash chip which was much harder to swap.

The final claim by the Calimba/HadesTeam that they know already how to de-crypt the firmware they dumped.

It looks like the blueray dirve might be used for piracy, Sony might as well remove the optical dirve feature in a fw update in order to protect the consumer.

Sony: "It has come to our attention that the Blu-ray drive has become a secruity issue so because we love the consumer so much we have decided to go ahead and remove the drives functionality, from now on all games can be purchased from the PSN+ store" and ya I'm serious if they did something like this they would most definitly make it PSN+ only lol.

Come on guys, do not scare yourself and other people.
I just do not want to hear that sony is all mighty. What did microsoft to xbox360? nothing,people can modify the firmware in dvd-drive.
The same I think will happen with ps3, I think that firmware update will do nothing.
And seriously I do not care about psn or even psn+(which you have to pay for,for people who do not know that), I even do not want to connect my ps3 to psn. I have nothing to do there.
So for offline use if not to go to psn and not to register there--ps3 will work out just perfectly.
So where is the problem? I do not see it.
And also I would like to thank to "Demonhades" Team, that they done impossible----They truthfully hacked PS3.

Geohot go cry at home that you could not do that.

Thanks Demonhades....

^really at this point they have not come any farther than Geohot.

Also I don't really like all this negitivity twards geo, hes not a bad guy what happened was not his fault..... well kinda but not really...... well really it kinda is but I do not hold any grudge

Peppers I am not negative to him, I just do not like that he said that he hacked ps3, but all which his actions brought were removing of "Other OS" feature which people paid money for. And also I think that all he wanted was to become famous but not hacking in any form.
Anyway I dont care about geohot, all I care about right now is that probably ps3 very soon will be hacked truthfully.

eh, dirve hacks are not all that usefull. Still can't run unsigned code.
