MOD ABUSE
This USB stick is confirmed to boot the PS3 into some sort of service/debug mode, and while the package comes with a backup manager, the important thing is that the USB jigkick allows for unsigned code to be launched by retail PS3s.
This means that CFW for PS3 is now a possibility. People can write apps and boot them from this USB stick. Imagine a CFW where all region coding is disabled, one can use their PS3 as a PS2HDloader (if they have a BC unit), play your library of PSP games via PS3 and XBMC on PS3 is possible. It will also be possible to launch linux via this USBstick, and probably even launch old installations on post OtherOS killing firmware.
Ripping games to HDD is actually the least interesting thing about this.

Original OP:
Looks a little dodgy going by their website but it seems like the PS3 might possibly have been successfully hacked. http://psjailbreak.com/index.php
The only reason I think it may be true is because a well-known modchip installer in Australia is claiming it works and is testing it right now. They posted the video of it this morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqYorUwbG7k&feature=player_embedded
Is this the end?
