PS3Stinger announced

Looks like we have some more competition on our hands. Earlier today it was announced by one of our members that a new Jailbreak clone would be hitting the scene very soon. Going by the name "PS3Stinger", it promises not to "sting" you with a high price. An official website is in the works that should be up within the next few days. A twitter page has also been created to help spread the news of the up and coming clone. Although there twitter page has an image of the original PSJB, The announcer Tech1000 states that it's:

Just for reference and will change next week once the pcb's are ready.

I sent in an email earlier today requesting some more information and got the following response:

Hi,

Thanks for the mail, Price depends on quantity 50-100 pieces is Euro35 stock ready to ship around 15th Sept (Pcb's ready next week so maybe a bit sooner). Exactly the same as the jailbreak as its a direct clone. Difference with dealing with us is fast replies and we won't screw our customers on price, Also can do fast overnight shipping via Fedex to the US. Some of the guys we are dealing with already are allsystemsgo.nl /Consolepro.nl and loads of the UK sellers including wii-chip.co.uk/ 360upgrades.co.uk so lots of people to vouch that we are legit as well.

Thanks
Phil on twitter aka ps3stinger

Guess we will just have to wait and see what this new competitor is made of. For more information you can send your questions via email too: sales@ps3stinger.com

09/06/10 (1:36 PM MST) - UPDATE from TECH1000

Just received word that the PS3stinger will be shipping out stock on Friday/Monday.

Quote:

Just wanted to let you know we are shipping out Stinger stock on Friday/Monday and will mail some pictures over of the finished pcb's before we ship. We decided not to show hand soldered or unfinished boards as it makes the product look nasty like the others! All the resellers will be able to ship out to the customers next week and we have a great supply of atmega's so no issues with stock over the next month. We will be the cheapest supplier and all stock is from the EU so no customs issues for the sellers.

Wont be long now guys. ;) Thanks go out to TECH1000 for keeping the scene posted.

32k Stinger is now available and in stock. :)

P.S: For anyone that didn't know, All Systems Go is no longer apart of PS3Stingers development. Hasn't been for quite some time now actually. I was going to add that bit of information to the first post when I first got word of it but, since there was no real progress going on at the time, I decided to wait.

All systems go has requested that I keep the reason confidential. So please, do not ask him for any information regarding this project as he is no longer involved. Thanks. ;)

With the announcement of the PSJailbreak not being upgradeable, is it reasonable to think that since this is a direct clone, the same is true?

Interesting...

Look forward to seeing a break down of what this one consists of.

So based upon that email, one can assume that 1pc is probably going to retail at around Euro50-60, so essentially half the price of the PSJB.

PSJB really need to get their asses into gear if they plan to reap any sort of major benefit out of this one since things seem to be moving relatively quickly now.

First x3jailbreak and now ps3stinger... mmmh

I will wait and see. Until they can prove that they're legit I will consider them fake.
Otherwise...maybe it's not so bad that the original modchip is shipping a bit later.

It's too early for legit clones in my opinion. I think we need to wait at least a month to see legitimate clones floating around. Thanks! :)

Retail price should be around 49.99EUR, can vary a bit, but it's safe to say it will beat the PS Jailbreak price by a longshot !

Official worker at PS3stinger are we? Or spamming the forums with one post? :chinscrat

If you want them, just mail us.
If you want info, just mail us.

If you want to wait for the dust to settle, it's totally understandable, we'll still be here when you decide to join in on the fun.

Pushing your product? I'll buy when and if I want to buy. You are not going to be the only clone to hit the market. I'll wait for the dust to settle! I'm not a dumb arss! ;)

And just registered a new account here, but rest assured; the post count will be increasing in the coming days :)

Okay! We'll see how things stack up in due time with this stinger! I hope it's not planned to sting people in the butt! :lol:
