If you want some cash, go on eBay and sell your copy of GripShift. The PSP scene's getting stir-crazy over the exploit found in GripShift. eBay listings for the game are getting craaaazy bids. There's one listing that already received a bid for US$ 99.99. The whole craziness started when MaTiAz found a buffer overflow vulnerability in the game only a few days ago. It wasn't long before he and FreePlay released a Hello World version of the exploit. The whole thing reminds me of how Wiibrew first started. I expect we'll be seeing great things happening soon. |

It's just an exploit that hasn't been fully exploited (if it can be) yet. It's not a way of putting CFW on a PSP. I don't see why people are flocking to it like it's Lumines or GTA:LCS.

» GTA and Lumines were the same
GTA and Lumines were the same. Originally they didn't have kernel access only user access. But despite this their sales sky rocketed. Amazon figures were most startling, I think Lumines was something like 3000% up on sales lol. Eventually a kernel exploit was found for the two GTA exploits and the Lumines exploit. Based on that history there is a good chance we'll get the same with Gripshift.

» I wish I could make munny.:(
I wanted to sell a copy to help pay for college expenses... it's just that Gripshift was a mediocre game, with mediocre sales. It's bloody hard to find.

The copy nearest to me (apart from the one at my feet right now) is over an hour away... and they have *one* copy.

The exploit doesn't work on the European version of Gripshift.
The US Gripshift should and probably will work on European PSP-3000 since there isn't any region lock codes.
Right now, theres no way to downgrade the PSP-3000 at all (all regions). And I don't think there will be a reason since the downgrading was used to get to version 1.50 which could allow you to install CFW.

» um... duh?
We've seen it before with GTA and Lumines so this was bound to happen. By now the price is probably jacked up at GameStop.

» Don't worry If you didn't get a copy.
There are a lot of games out there for the PSP that are ready to be exploited.
So get one later or now and sell it.
buy at least 3 or mores copies.

» I have this game too.
I played it a couple of times and never again. Too bad I don't have a PSP 3000 though. I might list it on ebay or something. $$$$$$$

» UK versions too
I sold 2 UK versions for £35 by just selling them as Gripshift and not answering any questions, brought them for around £10 a week ago.

» why
does every game that gets exploited a game with low sales?
( i.e lumines, gripshift but not GTA).
When the 3.50 came out, i went to get a copy and found out that in my country it was sold for $179.82.
Now it isn't worth anything since pandora came out.
Now prices are going to skyrocket again

» Lumines was good though
I haven't seen the sales figures. But regardless of them Lumines is an awesome game. Because it isn't your typical action game most people don't give it a chance. It is one of the best games on the PSP.
Thats what was great about GTA and Lumines. You were getting an exploit on two of the best games on the PSP. Luckily for me I had both of those titles before the exploits were found :)

"The whole thing reminds me of how Wiibrew first started."
You mean how PSP homebrew got started? lol GTA:LCS was used to downgrade 2.6 firmware years before the Wii came out. Then before that was a tiff exploit to downgrade 2.0 fw. Old ways coming back and cracking new things. How about that? :)
