Thats right it is finally here, the True Blue Dongle JB2 is currently available for purchase and is on its way to our logistics and should be ready for shipment in time for Christmas!

What does this mean for PS3 users with firmware 3.55 and higher?

Up until now there has been no solution for modders with a PS3 running on 3.55 or higher firmware, so up until now the only way to play backup or imported games on the PS3 was if you had an older or used PS3. Now even if you buy a brand new PS3 and bring it home all it takes is a few steps to unlocking your console to its full potential.

Check out this video review of the True Blue Jailbreak!

True Blue features:

Booting of games from v3.6+ (up to v3.73) from special BD-R discs available from official resellers
Runs games up to v3.56 from HDD in conjunction with backup managers
Does not require the Power/Eject trick
Custom v3.55 Dongle firmware behaves like OFW when True Blue is not inserted
Manufactured from highest grade components and Actel based
Durable and high quality metal case design
Tough and durable plastic packaging
Further features to be added as they are developed
On board 2 MBytes SPI flash
Supports Fat and Slim consoles currently running any firmware up to v3.55
And any PS3 which can be downgraded from v3.6+ to v3.55 (NOTE: Requires other tools, True Blue currently can't downgrade a Console)
Supports all regions of consoles
Supports all regions of ISO’s to be released
Rock solid crystal oscillator on board for flawless timing

The True Blue dongle allows booting of the latest the ISO’s (3.6+) from special BD-R discs which can be purchased from all official resellers. The discs can be burned by any BD-R recorder and there are no special requirements on either PC or BD burner types.

Whilst we can disclose that the discs are specially manufactured to allow booting of the latest ISO’s, further technical information on the way by which the BD-R discs can allow booting cannot be provided, for obvious reasons.

Update: Clearer note on the above info, in regard to questions being asked!

The special BD-R discs being SOLD are BLANK, they are not warez in some cases less shady modshops operating in countries like Asia were local law enforcement turn a blind eye to 'flea market' operators they may infact FILL the disc with information turning the blank disc into warez, but that is not fault of the True Blue designers, and those places will NOT be official resellers. Information and pricing and list of official resellers will be forcoming in new news post later this week once details are confirmed.

Second, there is a lot more games working then the 5 listed in the forums and emails from the original JB2 rumors, and the full list of all the tested games will be published once it is official and confirmed by us, don't trust other sources of information there a lot of people out there trolling and passing around mis-information still for various reasons.

Third, even tho there is effort to crack this dongle already even tho it is not in the actual hands of any of the people posting information about it, there is a lot of stuff unknown about how and why it works and for many reasons we can't give further technical information but there is KEY reason why you have to buy special BLANK BD-R discs, due to some background research on the Blu-ray specs and maybe you understand why this is only way to get your dreams filled on running the latest v3.60+ games on your PS3 correctly!"

Sony PlayStation 3 hacker Mathieulh states the following on the PS3 JB2 USB dongle device to quote: 

"They actually do encrypt the elf data sections on the fself and have fself + decryption support handled in lv2 but part of the routine is decrypted through the dongle, it'd be possible to dump it from ram, but honestly, I don't own a dongle and I am not interested."

Below are some PS3 JB2 / True Blue in-depth testing demo videos from leksetengah:

There are 3 Element in JB2:

1. Dongle-FW (3.55)
2. USB Dongle JB2
3. Burning Game (which being Modified)

In order to play game you need all of 3 element above, can't work if one is missing.

X360 Key Xbox 360 USB Loader Soon To Be Released

This is probably the most widely sought after question in the gaming industry.

And the answer is NO!

Modding your Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo or whatever it is that you OWN is just as illegal as getting breast implants on your own body, and last I checked thats your own legal right to do so if you want.

The terms hacking or modding have gotten a bad rep over the years which has branded this group of people as a bunch of hooligan criminals abusing the system. But the truth of the matter is hacking or modding can be really classified as improving whatever it is you are modding. There are hundreds of documented cases of thrifty people taking something normal and turning it into something unique and productive. Some may call this redneck engineering, others call it inventing.

Now no question about it Sony or Microsoft might not like the idea of you modifying your purchased console into the ultimate gaming machine allowing you to play whatever you want! But again I will use the comparison of plastic sugery. Once you buy something it is yours, you own it and it is your property, thats why you pay for it. So just as your body is your own to alter for better or for worse, if you decide you want to use a mod-chip in order to improve your console that is your legal right. Will you void your warranty and run the risk of being kicked off Xbox Live? YES! Like I said it is your choice and yes there can be consequences just as their can be complications with injecting a chemical into your face to make you look youthful again. 

So the choice is yours to make, you can keep getting ripped off by the man, the man who in this day and age doesn't even follow there own laws leaving governments like the USA in 14.6 TRILLION dollars worth of dept. Or you can spend a fraction of the cost to play generic games on your consoles and mod your Xbox, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP whatever and IMPROVE your gaming experience to all new levels!
