Damn, it looks like the PlayStation 3 has been jailbroken yet again. Earlier this week a hacking team from Indonesia claimed that they had created a new jailbreak for the the PS3 called “JB2.”

Reportedly based on GEOHOT’s original jailbreak, this new dongle allows people to play pirated games and Blu-Ray on their systems. And what’s worse, the dongle allows these games to be played up to firmware version 3.75.

The JB2 jailbreak dongle is reportedly circulating in East Asia right now with a price tag of $45.

And now PlayStation 3 owners around the world sigh in frustration and await Sony’s response to this, most likely another firmware update that again will take up precious game time away from the players.

Discuss:

What do you think Sony will do to combat this new jailbreak? Would you spend $45 to get the dongle if it comes to North America? Let us know in the comment section below.
