PSN Access is back for 3.55 CFW

Great news for everyone who missed out on connecting their 3.55 CFW PS3s to the PSN, the team Codename: Rebug has released a simple to install PKG file that will allow you to once again access the current PSN, and download your missing DLC files, or simply recover/create a username so you can enable ReactPSN. I am sure over the next couple of days, many users will be sure to take full advantage of this option. That is, before Sony catches on and decides to put a stop to it; which may have to wait until after this year's E3 convention, scheduled for June 5th - 7th.

Yup, those 5 guys and the one who posted the article should all be banned as far a I am concerned, this is not the kind of news anyone wants to give more exposure to.

No legit player want pirates and hackers in the online community. We have enough cheaters as it it.

EDIT: Also, you can click under the "read full story" (don't click it, don't give those guys hits, click UNDER it) to rate the site and the story, I guess this can remove this crap from the main page.

These people can't live without pirating, can they?

Ser4382d ago

It's like they just sit there all day conjuring up new ways to do it. You know what?...They probably do.

0pie4382d ago

i guess there is a lot of verry poor people who can buy a 60$ games so they prefer to steal it.

Hisiru4382d ago (Edited 4382d ago )

@0pie
I am not a pirate, but PS3 games here in Brazil are $180,00 at launch and we have a lower salary than americans.

We pay:
-R$900,00 for a PS3
-700,00 for a PS Vita
-240.000,00 for a Range Rover (that is costing just 30.000,00 in the United States)
-180.000,00 for a Chevrolet Camaro (that is costing just 20.00,00 in the United States)

We have some problems (government taxes) even for people who wants to pay for their original games.

But yeah... but nothing justifies piracy.

BISHOP-BRASIL4382d ago

Também moro no Brasil (I live in Brazil too).

Pricing here is about as crazy as it gets.

And you probably know it, but RS900 (450 USD) PS3 and R$700 (350 USD) Vita are both usually grey market (importação ilegal, evasão de impostos).

The official price here is R$1199 (600USD) for PS3 and R$1599 (800USD) for the only Vita available (a bundle with MNR: Road Trip, a 4GB card and a pouch).

Every company here set their profits as high as 50% and than blame the taxes, which is massive, but not the only responsible.

Hisiru4382d ago

@bishop-br
Youre totally right man, this is how things works here (sadly).

I actually paid 900,00 for my PS3, but yes, it's not the offical price. The official price is actually higher (as you said).

BISHOP-BRASIL4382d ago

@Persistantthug

Don't believe the hype... There really only a few nude beaches here and they are filled with ugly people... Just like mostly everywhere else I guess.

There's pretty women here? Sure, but not to the extent those travel agencies leaflets made it to be.

0pie4382d ago

Well everything in this world casts a shadow so it's only natural for pirates to exist. But then there are ludicrious pricing at other parts of the world and other examples of greed in high places which contribute to this as well so it's a vicious circle.

The only question is will the proper countermeasures be enforced that doesn't screw the legal consumers....

PixL4382d ago (Edited 4382d ago )

Great news? Piss off cheaters. I hope ban is coming soon.

Aquanauts Holiday at $500. Nice

I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.

Profchaos17h ago

I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions

Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .

P_Bomb17h ago

I still have Afrika. Who knew it’d be worth something?

MrBaskerville10h ago

Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.

Chocoburger7h ago

She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

Thought I was the only one who remembered Trinity lol very underrated

Yui_Suzumiya3d ago

WET and Quantum Theory were both phenomenal

P_Bomb3d ago

I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.

Chocoburger3d ago

Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.

-Foxtrot2d ago

WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly

It had a lot of potential

Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
