Today I was looking at PS3's when I can across an article at http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/322906_sony09.html 

it said

"Sony is cutting the price of its primary PlayStation 3 game console by $100 in the United States, seeking to regain traction in a market it has long dominated.Putting a new twist into the video-game console wars, the company on Monday is announcing a new price of $499.99 for the 60-gigabyte PlayStation 3, effective Monday. Sony says it also plans to introduce a new PlayStation 3 model, with an 80-gigabyte hard drive, at a price of $599.99." and this was on July 8th 2007.  I did a google search to see if it was a joke and came up with this.

http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/8078.html 

"The limited amount of top game titles yet available for the Playstation 3, as well as stiff competition from Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360, have forced Sony into lowering its original price for the 60GB PS3 from $599 to $499. The price cut is effective immediately.  In addition, Sony also introduced a new 80GB model. Aimed at online gamers and entertainment enthusiasts, the 80GB model will ship in August for $599. The online-enabled racing game MotorStorm will be bundled in the sales package."

I went to best buy's and circut city's websites and the 60gb ps3 was for $500, a $100 price drop and E3 is hear yet.

YES!!! I can now buy one.

This is a video that I saw on youtube and I thought I would share it with everyone because it is only uploaded 2 hours ago.

Its a video of someone unbricking a psp without a custome firmware, and i think its how sony unbricks a psp.

In the video the screen shows an option to aloww acces to the flash by usb.

Don't take this as a fake right away, go watch it first then decided.

Below is quoted from http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psp&thread.id=2997591

"I have found some exciting news about an unbricker for the 1.5 psp bricked with the fameous app X-flash (which could brick ur psp) that was made 2 days ago. This info i received on a english site of bjwil3. The source u will found below this post. U can also view a video of the whole process made by Skeeder.

On the video u will see written in french that it's possible to use any app on the bootup of a bricked psp... But on the tutorial of bjwil3's site there u will see that a psp with 1.5 fw bricked with x-flash is needed for the unbricker to work properly.

The idea of the process is too flash ur psp to a 2.0 firmware with the needed files that i will mention later on and after that u can easily downgrade again to a 1.5 firmware.

TUTORIAL:


NEEDED files/things before getting started:

- First Watch Video (at end of post)
- PSP must be fully charged + plugin ur charger so it wouldn't die on u in the process
- Clean your memory stick before starting Backup files and folders first b4 doin' this
- PSP with 1.5 fw bricked with x-flasher HERE
- The File 1.50.flash which u can get HERE
- Firmware 2.00 or 1.50 eboot which u can download HERE or HERE
- Pc to put the needed files on your psp (Multi-card reader/writer and/or printer needed).

PRACTICAL OPERATION:

1) REMEMBER put the charger in your PSP!!! Your battery "must" be full
2) Put the 1.50.flash file in the ROOT of your PSP's memory stick
3) Place the 2.00 or 1.50 firmware (EBOOT.PBP) in ur memory stick directory: PSP/GAME/UPDATE --> If there is no UPDATE directory than make one
4) Turn your psp on and PRESS ALL the following buttons down and KEEP them PRESSED: Triangle, Circle, Square, Cross, L , R AND MAKE repeaditly Circles with your D-pad(not the joystick) of the psp like in the video
5) You will now see a blue screen with options --> Choose the option with the Eboot sentence like in the video and press X (cross)
6) Now your psp will update to 2.00 or 1.50 firmware! -->After process u will have the 2.00 or 1.50 firmware on ur psp.


U can find bjwil3 his site (source) HERE
And u can find the video HERE"

To make this small but great program I expanded on the work of keedier who made homebrew hider 1.0 and dark420bishop who made VideoPSpy v2. To write and test i used LUADevKitBeta1 which is the best program ever.

Made only small change to VideoPSpy v2 but add a ton to homebrew hider 1.0

Download at playstationshtuff.com its the first item on the list

        When I downloaded "PSP eMail and SMS" I relized that to run it you need LUA Player.  I'm no fan of taking the time to open lua player find the game I want then load it. So I made it an eboot to open it directly. Made a few pics and tada. Done a new and very easy to use "PSP eMail and SMS"

I made Eboots by editing others from other lua games. The game is both 1.5 and 2.71SE runable. This is a pic of  it.
