I own a Playstation3 since January 2009 after getting the famous RROD on two successives Xbox 360. The PS3 is a really a nice gaming device, but the guys at Sony have  another focusing on everything but their store experience to their end users.

When I left the Xbox 360 world, one of the best feature of it was its store, I could even access it from my web browser and launch downloads so that I can play my games when I got home. I seriously miss this feature on the PS3. But I found that Sony, I guess along with the big store rewrite they made a few weeks ago, now allows us to browse and buy easily from our browser : https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com.

I don’t know yet if the download will be automagically launched when my Playstation 3 will automatically wake up to synchronise my Playstation+ account.
I’ll update this post when I’ll know !

It seems that the downloads don’t get pushed automatically to the console nor are downloaded when the console is syncing. Come on Sony, you’ve come so close !

Playstation 3 – une histoire de nombres aléatoire

So, here we are, from fail0verflow team‘s announce at 27c3, Playstation 3 security is no more. It’s a good thing for homebrews, the return of otherOS and media center happyness. As from many of you might know, GameOS is exposed since the famous PSGroove thing. But we still were not able to boot on totally hand made code. The thing the team found is a critical error in implementing their random number generator used in signing code : it returns a constant value (those who are not afraid with mathematics can have a look there to understand). To be clear, we got the way to sign arbitrary code, and Sony can’t do anything about this !

The bad thing is it surely will bring a lot more piracy on the PS3, I hope Sony will still be able to detect altered game to keep online entertainment possible !
