George Hotz, the 20 year old guy, best known for cracking Apple’s iPhone says he’s done it again, this time with Sony’s PlayStation 3. In a his blog post George Hotz said that after a five-week effort, he’d finally managed to run his own software on the PlayStation 3, which typically only plays digitally signed software that is approved by Sony.
“I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I’ve also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip.”
He pulled off the feat using “very simple hardware, cleverly applied, and some not so simple software,” he added.
Hotz received widespread media attention in 2007 when he developed a technique that allowed the iPhone to run on any wireless network. In the U.S., iPhones are sold exclusively for use with AT&T’s network.
Hotz’s new technique could allow PlayStation 3 users to run new, unauthorized software on their systems. Such software could include the Linux operating system or older PlayStation 2 games, which don’t work on the PlayStation 3. But the hack could also give gamers a way to run pirated software on their systems too.
PlayStation fans will have to wait some time before they get to see Hotz’s code, however. In his blog post, he said he isn’t revealing how he pulled off his trick just yet, in part because he’s worried that Sony may find a way to disable his technique.
That’s what Apple tried to do with the Jailbreak hack. The company has repeatedly disabled the Jailbreak code in software updates to its devices, but hackers have responded each time with new techniques to keep the phones unlocked.
Hotz did say that he was hoping to find and publish the device’s decryption keys, which could help others develop and run unauthorized software for the machines.

Netflix disc must remain in PS3 to access Netflix serviceYesterday Netflix announced that its streaming service would be available for the PS3. Netflix is offering a reservation program that will send the required disc to PS3 users when the software is available next month. Joystiq went directly to Netflix for more details on the service.
Joystiq reports that the special disc does in fact have to remain in the PS3 for the streaming service to work. The reason is that Netflix doesn't have a XMB solution in place at the moment and won't have one until sometime in 2010.
Netflix reports that the application was developed with help from the Sony team. The reason Netflix went with a disc based solution rather than waiting for integrated capability was the issue of timing. Netflix told Joystiq, "Netflix members and PS3 owners have really wanted a way to instantly watch movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix via the PS3 system. The instant streaming disc represented the fastest and easiest way to let them do this."
Netflix reports that late next year next year, “We expect to have an embedded solution available for PS3s via a system software update slated for release through the PlayStation Network."
With the exclusive claims that Microsoft was making many are wondering if the disc-based solution was a way to get around the "exclusive streaming" claims Microsoft touted. Netflix says that the agreement with Sony does not conflict with its agreements with Microsoft. That "exclusive streaming" claim is likely the reason PS3 owners won’t see an embedded solution from Netflix until late in 2010.

SYDNEY, NSW: Sony Australia has this morning announced an extension of its twice-successful free-PS3 promotion, with the company releasing a further 10,000 free PlayStation 3s with the purchase of selected Bravia LCD TVs.Since first launching this promotion in July 2008, Sony has reported strong sales of its Bravia models, and a strong connection with consumers looking to acquire a TV and a home entertainment solution at the same time.
As part of this promotion, which runs concurrently with Sony’s 3-year warranty offer, Sony deputy general manager of consumer products marketing, Toby Barbour, is promising consumers they will receive their PS3 before Christmas, as long as the purchase is validated before 1 December 2009.
“It can be hard to choose the perfect gift at Christmas time, particularly something that the whole family will enjoy. While high definition TVs are a significant purchase at any time of year, they are expected to be the Christmas present of choice for many households this year; with a combination of appealing prices, latest technologies, as well as fantastic bonus offers all available. People are looking for value for money, quality purchases in light of a year of tough financial circumstances,” Barbour said.
Sony is also giving away Blu-ray movies and games at the moment. Interest parties are directed to follow Sony on Twitter or sign up to Sony Australia’s Facebook page.

Following news of Kmart’s Black Friday leaks that we told you about earlier, we have picked up on a deal that you might not be aware of. The retailer will be offering free PS3 copies of Assassin’s Creed II for customers who purchase an Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines PSP Pack.Well ok, the PSP Pack may set you back $199.99 and its no PSP Go either, but we don’t see any of the other retailers offering any sort of similar deal.
If you don’t mind an ‘old’ PSP-3000 console, then this could turn out to be a very popular deal for some, as it’s still a free PS3 copy of ACII at the end of the day.
If you are interested in this deal, it will be available over Black Friday weekend ( November 27th and 28th), starting from 4am - Noon.
You can see the Kmart leak with this info here. Let us know if you plan on buying this.

Sony set up a bit of an ‘egg-hunt’ in Dublin, Ireland recently in order to promote their new PS3 Slim high def game console.
As a social marketing campaign, giant eggs holding PS3 Slims were placed around the city. Those that actually had enough nerve to crack the eggs got to take home one of the new consoles. Sure beats chocolate!
Nice idea. Who would have thought that you would ever get rewarded for the destruction of someone else’s property?
After getting wind of this, gamers [world-wide] will certainly think twice about passing by any newly constructed statues, or random objects standing in the centre of town.

Only $50 more to double PS3 Slim's capacitySony recently introduced the PlayStation 3 Slim in September. Available in a single 120GB model, it sold very well due to a new $299 price. The company states that it sold over 1 million PS3 units worldwide in the three weeks following the PS3 Slim launch.
The price cut was made possible by shrinking several components, most notably a 45nm version of the Cell processor. Overall, the PS3 Slim is 32 percent smaller than the original PS3 and consumes 34% less power. The console still loses money for Sony, but the platform as a whole is profitable as game licenses are sold to developers.
Seeking to capitalize on that success in time for the Christmas shopping season, Sony has announced a new PS3 Slim model on the official PlayStation blog. Consumers will be able to purchase a PlayStation 3 Slim with a 250GB hard drive starting November 3. The new model will sport the same internal components as the 120GB model, but will sell for $350.

Following the news last month that Sony sold 40,000 PlayStation 3 Slim units in the console’s first two and a half weeks in the Australian market, it appears the publisher has something to smile about yet again.
The latest sales figures from Sony indicate the AU$499 PS3 Slim has now sold “in excess of 60,000 units” in Australia, outselling both the Xbox 360 and the Wii since its Australian launch on September 3.
“I can confirm that in excess of 60,000 units of the PS3 120GB have been sold since launch,” a Sony spokesperson said. “I can also confirm that since the launch of the new model on September 3 [in Australia], total sales for the period since introduction have outperformed our competition.”
Sony also reported that despite low PSP Go sales of just over 1,000 units during launch week, the new console uplifted sales for the PSP platform as a whole in Australia.
“The PSP Go launch week resulted in a solid first week volume uplift of 100 percent for the PSP platform as a whole in Australia; this also includes PSP-3000 sales and PSP software sales. Strong IP lined up for the PSP platform has assisted this.”

Sony will release the PS3 Firmware 3.0 update on September 1st for the PlayStation 3 console.
Firmware 3.0 completely revamps the information board, introduces premium avatars and animated themes and a variety of other tweaks.
While Firmware 3.0 is the last major update the PlayStation 3 will see during 2009, G4TV (linked above) recently asked Sony if this was the last update period for the calendar year.
To quote: “This is a big and significant update, so you would be correct to assume that [it's the last major update for 2009],” said PlayStation Network operations director Eric Lempel to G4TV.
He did, however, note that the release of a few smaller updates throughout the remainder of 2009 is still a possibility.
