By far the cheapest PS3 hack.

Teensy / Bumble Bee hybrid USB dev kit

Bumble-B: Mini USB Development Kit | fletchtronics.net

They can build it for $5.

It retails at $15.

Expect these to flood the market very soon and beware of wankers reselling them at inflated prices.

even though my son updated the PS3 to 3.42 fw but may as well get one incase a work around for 3.42 is released

Fooking hell, that's a fair old jump in price.

They were boasting prices of 15 Dollars, what's that in real money, about a tenner?

I was kinda hoping for a final retail price below £20

I've just realised that mate, lol.

AFAICS all it needs is a clock crystal and maybe a couple of switches added for HWR and RST, everything else is onboard, plus the cpu has bootloader so I'll be able to flash it directly via the usb cable. {edit} I just noticed that the board does infact have a 16Mhz Crystal built in. I reckon I'll have that up and running within an hour of arrival. I'll just use a piece of kynar to short the switches, lol. :)

It's a breakout board so I'm sure I'll find a million and one uses for it.

At this rate I'm going to end up with about 10 different devices all capable of hacking the PS3, lol.

I noticed today that the PSP version has started progressing again, allegedly they have actually managed to JB the PS3 from the PSP but they are now struggling trying to get the pkg files to boot i.e Backup Manager.

True mate, but that Bumble B should work fine as it is and it only cost me £13 including postage from the US.
