Thread: PS3 Jailbreak arrest - world first in South Africa

    Exclamation PS3 Jailbreak arrest - world first in South Africa

    http://mygaming.co.za/news/news/1329...rest-made.html

    A Playstation 3 jailbreak raid took place earlier today at a residential property in Parktown, Johannesburg. Jailbreak devices are used to circumvent the security features on PS3 consoles to facilitate the playing of pirated PS3 games.

    one of the guys in my gaming commented that maybe the "lesser" criminals like the rapists, murders, gangsters and so on should be targeted at a later stage.

    +1 on that comment, and a fail yet again for RSA police. Just shows it is all about money...... or would I say coroprations loosing money........

    Agreed that they should focus on murder etc, but if u cant ignore "lesser" crimes. As said in the article this was not a guy at home jailbreaking his PS3, it was pro`s doing it for money. Which I agree they should be arrested. They give us good pirates a bad name.

    lol, once again the media misrepresents. They were raiding a guy who sells pirated stuff not a lone guy with his 1 PS3. And within any police force they have separate units doing different stuff.

    Well the article itself is deliberately misleading. But if the journalist didn't intentionally write misleading rubbish, then they should specify who told them the drivel they blindly repeated.
