PSP 3000 hacked. By Datel.

Could it be? Could the PSP 3000 be finally and truly hacked? MaxConsole answers that to the affirmative, describing Sony‘s (previously) impenetrable security fortress for the newest PSP model to be “now perfectly hackable”, thanks to Datel.

Could it be? Could the PSP 3000 be finally and truly hacked? MaxConsole answers that to the affirmative, describing Sony‘s (previously) impenetrable security fortress for the newest PSP model to be “now perfectly hackable”.

The breakthrough was made by Datel (*gasp*), thanks to their newest tool battery that will put the PSP 3K into service mode. Okay, what does this exactly do? According to their post, service mode allows you to downgrade your PSP for you to do whatever you may want to do with it, basically.

So. Here’s the deal. In order for you to enable the service mode on your PSP 2K and 3K models, you’ll need Datel’s new crypto processor based battery called the Lite blue Tool battery.

*Advert flash* But wait! There’s more! It comes with toggle options between a service mode and normal mode, as well as a built in LED power gauge feature! Datel’s Lite Blue Tool comes to your nearest store on November 28th for a mere US$ 19.99 (UK) and US$ 29.99 (NA).

Great! Security down, scan lines to go.

Huge thanks to tipster Vexor!
