PSJailbreak clones roundup, find out what to get and whats in stock!


I've taken some time to collect information on all the PS Jailbreak clones that currently are available or that will be available.
Let's cut the chase directly: My current recommendation is to get the Minimus or Maximus USB Dev boards. Both are relatively cheap (US$38), and stock are available from several retailers already.
If you really need to have a pre-loaded device, then the PS3 Break seems to be the only available solution that's in stock.
Since the clones are coming in quite fast now, it might be an idea to wait a couple of weeks if you can, I'm quite certain that some clones will be sub $20 soon.

OMG so many, is it so easy to break the ps3 now? i just want some software to do the trick... i hope someday we know how they work

I'm waiting for the PSP to be used myself.

once installed can the jailbreak be uninstalled in some way so that PS3 can be normal again.

Yes, usually all you do is unplug the usb device.

oh i read somewhere that PS3 wont boot with out USB once it is jailbroken. If true then amazing.

Warning: Once the jailbreak is installed on the console, it can’t be uninstalled or removed.

I back order a teensy++ a while ago I'm thinking about cancelling it for some other usb. My question is are there any major differences between the usb, is one better than the other in anyway. What do you guys look for when buying an usb?

For me

1. Support available for future upgrades.
2. Easier to install ( which most of them seems to be)

I snagged a 360 USB NAND reader card for 29.99 most places actually have them in stock.

That person was on crack when he added that warning.
The usb device must be plugged in when you power on the ps3 to make it work but if you power on the ps3 without the usb device in the ps3 will act as normal.
