Y'know what they say... play with fire... and you get burned! Datel has just revealed that Sony is taking legal action against their service mode battery that advertised itself as a PSP-3000 hacking tool. Heh. Surprised much? This is following news of Datel's pulling out of the battery - the Lite Blue Tool - and changing its product description.

Did you get yourself Datel's Lite Blue Tool? Wondering why it's not putting your PSP Brite into service mode as promised? It's because you didn't purchase the Lite Blue Tool, you purchased the Max Power Digital. Uhuh.

A silent update to the codejunkies website has changed not only the product name of the Lite Blue Tool, but also its product description. What a jip.

As anticipated - and warned - by Alek and the rest of the gang at the Dark_AleX forums, the oober-hyped Datel batteries, the "savior of the PSP 3K", turned out to be nothing more but that: oober-hyped. Check out Alek's update on the "wonder-batt" and on the 88v3 IPL.after the jump.

Datel's quick to turn a profit from their PSP-3000 "hack." The Lite Blue hack tool, being marketed as the only PSP battery capable of putting the PSP-3000 into Service Mode, is now available for pre-orders at the Codejunkies site, and will be shipping on December 1.

Thanks to Vexor for the heads up!

So what do the guys-in-the-know have to say about this alleged hack by Datel on the PSP 3000? Alek of the Dark_ALeX forums give out his two cents, found in full article.

Eric Lempel at the PlayStation Blog has posted a quick updated  saying that the PSP Firmware v5.02 will be available shortly. What can we expect from this update? Answer awaits you after the jump.

Could it be? Could the PSP 3000 be finally and truly hacked? MaxConsole answers that to the affirmative, describing Sony's (previously) impenetrable security fortress for the newest PSP model to be "now perfectly hackable", thanks to Datel.

Here we have a video sneak peek at Datel's latest addition to their Action Replay series of cheat devices: Action Replay PSP, which is scheduled to become available on Monday, October 6, for US$ 39.99. The price is a bit steep, but one thing I can say about it is it sure does have a snazzy GUI. Check out the video at the full article.
