Datel's Lite Blue Tool gets name change, deletes PSP-3000 features

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. The description now has no mention of putting the PSP-3000 into service mode, instead it:

lets you enable Service Mode on the PSP 2000 and also works as a normal battery on the new PSP3000 (also known as the BRITE).

What a jip. Though I have to say, I am totally not surprised by this. Outraged, yes. Surprised, no.

That some Homebrew users out there bought this junk and now decide to form a class action suit against Datel for false advertising. If I buy a LiteBlue Tool and it says that on the box but doesn't do the actions that it claims then yes that is HIGHLY ILLEGAL in most parts of the world. I can see Datel going out of business this year. I for one am reporting this to the BBB and other inter government offices. Have a nice Day Datel.

with a name like Max Power, it has to be great (bad Simpsons reference).

# Yeah, great name — billylee8 2009-01-07 06:39

Remember folks, there's the "right" way, the "wrong" way, and the "Max Power" way (which is the wrong way, but faster)!

# Actually... — xploren 2009-01-07 07:47

I think it DOES have the PSP go into service mode, you just can't do anything since you don't have the Magic Memory Stick to provide the menu.

# Wow — m3rox 2009-01-07 08:26

You know, you're the first person to ever think that?

# I know it sucks — PimpFriedRice 2009-01-07 08:56

It isn't false advertising because the battery does put the service mode...halfway. It's whole pre-ipl thing thats preventing cfw installation. Of course they're relying on DAX or any other hacker. It's been that way for quite awhile now.

# ZOMG — StingBlah 2009-01-07 11:38

IT WORKED FOR ME!! I HAVE A FULLY HACKED PSP3000 RUNNING FW 1.50 BECUZ 0F TH!S BATT3RY! D4T3L FTW!

# It's your own fault — Puntymario 2009-01-07 12:31

Anyone who bought the battery without consulting someone or some sort of informative access is a fool because the 3000 was already determined unhackable for the time being from the begining of release unless of course you bought it to prep for hacking then you are just thinking ahead. Bottom line if a company says something and much of the internet says its false don't buy it don't believe everything you see. Common sense lessons for those who bought it are required

# those dorks — kloplop321 2009-01-07 12:37

they should be sued for misinformation and scamming.

"It isn't false advertising because the battery does put the service mode...halfway."

No. It does not. Not at all.

# stupid.... — DJ PON-3 2009-01-07 13:08

so, it's just a damn pandora battery taken by the idea of sony.

This is completely sad *facepalm*

# fail — AssassinWarrior 2009-01-07 14:09

lies...slim cant even run 1.50 how can brite can. FAIL

# Never Trust Datel — blizako 2009-01-07 17:47

ok first all of datel products are fking dumb. actoin replays are like those mod chips cheats with downloadable games aka called R4 + ect. §tupid wii saves are like sd cards. wtf, all of there stuff are §tupid.

# Amazing Marketing Strategy — Nathanias 2009-01-08 03:09

Just think how many people blindly bought this battery thinking it would work on their 3K's.

# The whole idea is — Nathanias 2009-01-08 03:11

That the system DOESN'T put 3K's into service mode, the Pre-IPL has nothing to do with this BS

# Alek's Warning — Jet8225 2009-01-08 03:29

Didn't Alek (I think that was his name) from the Dark_Alex forum warn about this battery, that it probably didn't work and all that?

# Can no one... — xploren 2009-01-12 15:42

... take hint of a little sarcasm?
