[Update] How to sign in PSN with Rebug CFW 3.55.2 on 3.66 servers (video)

by KingX - on Jul 9th 2011 - 14 Comments

Well there seems to be an exploit to let the user log into PSN on 3.66 servers using Rebug CFW 3.55.2. A user over at PS3 News by the name of HACKDEPS3 has come out to share this information. It seems that this will allow the user to log into PSN, but not into the PlayStation Store. As to whether this will allow the user to play games online and do all the various stuff on PSN is not yet confirmed. We do not know how long this will last, as Sony has been updating their firmware constantly. As always use at your own risk and knowledge that there could be possible consequences. The Rebug Team does not support this method.  We are strictly informing our visitors of the news.

HACKDEPS3 Post 1:

first of all jailbreakers need to speak with other jailbreakers to make and get thing done. only reason that sony is winning is because jailbreakers dont like to share with others, that needs to stop. This might not give you much buts its more than the smart one’s that know more than me dont know lets make something out of this im the first to do it this way and i email rebug team the info how i done it last night

Sony have ways of making you pay.

It has been talked about for some time but it finally looks like Sony are fighting back against the evil second hand games market.

An image of the new PS3 Resistance3 bundle has been posted online and it shows a nasty little logo for “PSN PASS” and the words “Network features only available in countries that have PlayStation Store.”

IGN contacted Sony for clarification and were told the following:

“We are always evaluating new programs for our online offering, and starting with Resistance 3 this September, we will be instituting a network pass program for PS3 games with online capabilities,” the spokesperson said. “This program will be game-specific. Games that are a part of this program will include a single-use registration code that grants the account holder redeeming the code full online access for that title.

“This is an important initiative as it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio.”

If you buy a used copy of the game (and the PSN PASS code has been used also) you’ll have to log into the PSN store and give those hard working guys and girls at Sony (notice my sarcasm) some more cash or it’s single player only for you.

I presume this will also mean Sony can start making some $s out of the pirate game scene, although it is yet to be seen how much of this will actually go to the creators of the game and how much to Sony themselves.

Personally if Resistance3 is anything like Resistance2 then good luck to them, it was a terrible game, but that might just be my COD spoilt game sense.

PSN revamp. Keep it under your hat though

by DCgh0st - on Jul 6th 2011 - No Comments

Do you like windows high contrast theme? Well it will soon be your lucky day! Sony is in the midst of testing a new look and revamped PSN interface.

It appears Sony have listened to it’s users (first time for everything I guess) and decided to fix the text heavyness of the current layout. Currently in the “market-testing” stage (you know, focus groups etc) the new de-cluttered look has been quoted as “an aesthetic layout with logically marked sections and rolodex lists”. Replacing the frankly boring old blue feel with ” ultra bright colours on a black background.”, I could be picturing it wrongly but that does sound a little like “high contrast” to me.

The look is thought to borrow more than a little from IMDB with tabs of extra information on films and games on the right that allow the user to click through to more information on things like genre, publisher, developer, etc for games and actor, director, etc, etc for movies.

All I can really say is, as long as you keep users details secure and don’t act like power hunger nutters I don’t really care how PSN looks, maybe just me though.

Have you updated your PS3 firmware?

by Dukio - on Jul 6th 2011 - 9 Comments

With the lure of “Welcome Back” program as well as the release of Uncharted 3 BETA on PSN, it’s not wrong to admit if you have updated your previous jailbroken PS3 console into an official firmware despite what you can achieve with a CFW. Now, do you?

July 6 is the return date for PSN services in Japan

by Dukio - on Jul 4th 2011 - 1 Comment

Sony Corp announced in a website today it will fully restore every PlayStation network (PSN) and Qriocity services in Japan on July 6.

This means that PS3 and PSP console owners will finally be able to access PlayStation Store, which has remained inactive to our Japanese friends after the PSN tragedy back in April which has compromised millions of consumers’ data.

The July 6 PSN return includes all functionality for both PlayStation Network and Sony’s Qriocity service. All Japanese members will have access to PlayStation Store, in-game item purchases, product code and PlayStation Network card and ticket use, video functionality through Qriocity, and Media Go.

New PSN attack is more bigger but it wouldn’t hurt the members – Unknown

by Dukio - on Jun 22nd 2011 - 13 Comments

We are it again for another story, supposedly served as an attention to Sony who still trying to find the real culprits that ruined their online gaming network. Yesterday, i reported about the slightly-readable announcement from this group who made their intention known to the public for their attack on PSN. Now, they have posted more details on that in which according to them, the planned attack is much more bigger, better than the first outage but at the same time, it will “respect” the PSN members.

Just to clarify the target will be much the PSN, but the attack will be other than what it’s done so far. It is redesigned to be more respectful of Sony customers while being much more problematic for Sony, I will say no more.

And if PSN had never existed?

Anyway as I said we have other cards in hand, think that the world if we would be able to make public information clear and highlight the corruption in this case? For a long time we follow the case closely, very closely.

Of course as soon as we enter into play, unlike many we claim our actions very clearly, and that’s also likely to be more problematic for Sony, we will use the media coup the next PSN for piracy make public information cited in the preceding paragraph and other information as edifying.

Claim is the most important because we will not hesitate to respond directly to their false statements to their customers, and to expose all truths.

But we still have many cards in hand, to make easier we have a lot of wild cards in hand.

We will hurt Sony and show its true face to the world.

As a reminder we support Graf, while if Graf will begin in prison or will not start if it is not the case.

You say it’s bullshit? Well, you just made the “Unknown” group furious with your childish comment. Here, they replied it with their wonderfully crafted message.

We will talk no bullshit when there is evidence of corruption made ​​public we will return to the bad guys are, do not worry if we begin to show is that we have a very heavy record, which will shock public opinion and show the true face of Sony in the world.

If only there was nothing else to charge against them the trick is that the note is heavy and Sony show as evil incarnate the worst rot. Corruption in this case is only the tip of the iceberg, we are also in possession of private papers from Sony on marketing strategies that has the customer as a real laboratory rat, the most instructive is the word defined that customers really reductive and disparaging. We have other crap to make public about the Sony list is long.

We will see who are the bastards in the end, we show that their truth or their representative?

Our next piracy PSN large, much larger than our predecessors is just an introduction to the subject matter and to present to have the attention of all media, there is also some desire to restore justice in this story and especially Sony to show the consequences of their actions, because concéquences to piracy will be unprecedented, I believe that no one can imagine the extent of damage.

I don’t know if you guys will caught up with the hype or that you think this is from a 3 year old kid because we can’t say much about it. I mean, we have no proof to show that this is what Sony should look forward to but we can’t rule out either from someone who take the effort to tell the world that they’re going to attack one of the world’s most populated online gaming servers – with added literature extravagant, just like Anonymous. I say “Unknown” group, show us the good stuff, will you?

In other related news, graf_chokolo thank his donators for the support, claims PSN hack is not in his agenda.

Another new attack on Sony’s PSN after graf_chokolo news?

by Dukio - on Jun 21st 2011 - 63 Comments

Mad with the recent unfortunate news that graf_chokolo could go to a prison, a group called themselves “Unknown” has warn Sony and already has a major plan in place to attack the-just-recovered PlayStation Network where they are not responsible for the previous attack.

Hello,

We wanted to contact Graf, first know that you have our support, we are a team that shall remain nameless, we never, ever made piracy network as is done in recent times . But in light of your circumstances we will review our principles we find scandalous the way Sony treats you, ready to send you to jail just for a misplaced pride and make an example.

Therefore to show our support, we set up a major hacking as a target with the PSN, so I just let you know that it is already playing, so to speak we already know which way to go to reach our goals, we just press a button. Mr Graf soon as you put one foot that we wish you not hear, we press to button in protest and support.

We will not explain how the PSN will be reached to avoid any protection, but know that the fault is and we know how to get there we just press the button to the famous work is already done, we a nice script for this.

To prevent piracy of the first PSN was a joke, here you will bury once and for all, already said goodbye to your shareholders, customers, developers already uncertain about you.

People who think defense argued injustice by crooks, Sony you dare tell your customers that they are now secure and that you have learned from, not but what nerve. We garantisons you have not seen anything yet, if Graf goes to jail you will wake up in hell, you can already put your PS Vita and future PS4 in the trash and opt out of the video game market.

Also note that we have more than one trick up our sleeve, and that we are talking the talk that we as the first step. We planned everything with the sole target Sony Playstation we scattered some do not like with Sony Pictures and others because he must focus on a branch or Sony Playstation for it to fall. As mentioned above we do not correct a predefined script to a button, but much everything is planned, but the first shot to the PSN will have to pass the old hacking the PSN for a damp squib.

You have gone too far now you must pay for the few principles that you have, we have and we’ll show you.

We will finish by saying that for the moment nothing is played, it is you who make the decision to start this or not. As we said to the thing that will be only too Graf is in prison, if it is not the case do not take this into account, but you are warned, hoping for you that your conscience is clean and you can sleep the night, personally we wonder how you made?

Should you take this message seriously? Well, i don’t know, i mean the war on Sony first started because of graf_chokolo too as claimed by Anonymous. So, there is always a possibility that the message above is not from an average troll (he’s a European, so mind the language) and that Sony should deal with another attack even it’s not from the group above. A possibility.

Whatever it is, let’s just grab your snack, and watch the show. Sluur..oh, that’s the sound of a snack right?

UPDATE: More news from the “Unknown” group.
