Lumines for Japan has allegedly been patched and requires 3.51 |
Ó
What is surprising is how quickly this exploit was fixed. If most would care to remember the exploit in GTA: Liberty City Stories, it was only fixed after something like six months. Hmmmm, it looks like Sony and Q Entertainment / Bandai / Ubisoft moved quickly on this one.
There have been no reports of any UK or US copies that have already been patched so far.
Regardless, Fanjita has given word that people who are looking to buy a copy of Lumines for the exploit should be careful. So the question we should be asking right now is how long before we start seeing these patched versions on our shores? If you're interested in taking advantage of this exploit, you're probably going to want to pick up a copy now before the newer version arrives.

i feel sorry for japan right now :( but there is always eBay :)
of course they were going to patch it
i feel sorry for japan right now :( but there is always eBay :)
I told my friend to buy a lumines version (to downgrade his 3.40 >> 3.50 PSP) now, because they gonne patch it... but he wanted to wait... When are they patching the EU version?
im expecting a copy to be shipped tomorrow and i bet its been patched
Once sellers get ahold of this info expect prices to double, triple, or even quadruple. Good thing, Lumines was the first game I got for the PSP.
Cool but look that http://lix.in/308681
Just have a look at http://www.choicesuk.com/Product.aspx/!822450
That is the EU version. That's a UK store. This sucks. I ordered my Lumines on June 26th. I'm guessing this is why it hasn't shipped yet. I guess I should cancel my order and start looking for a used copy.
@jdragon yes mate cancel that order, or you will get a 3.51 version of Lumines
In Portugal, Sony has recalled all Lumines UMDs. I get this news from a very reliable source, game store owner. So we could see one of this in Portugal soon.
I know a place that has 12+ copies of the Original Lumines... but they are $39.99 :(
Good thing i bought 6 copies of lumines to spread the wealth by selling them on Ebay.
The article says the patched version of Lumines comes with 3.51, yet the screeny clearly shows 3.50 PSPU has been here for a couple of years now. I suprised theyve made such an obvious error. Not that the firmware that comes with the patched Lumines matters.
Obviously you didn't read. The text actually says something along the lines of. You currently have version 3.5 firm ware installed. You require version 3.51 firmware to play this game. Please update and try again.
I found 3 copies of lumines at sams club, they 18.99ea
they patched the japanse ones first because the jap discs already couldnt run trhe exploiit, so sony decided to patch them in hopes that the devs wouldnt even bother making the downgrader work on the jap ver.
if they patched these this quickly, who knows how soon theyll start patching new games. bye bye god of war.. :'(
thats just g@y y sony y r u tring to kill homebrew
Ive had Lumines since it came out, but i downgraded along time ago via the 2.71 .TIFF exploit.
I have a very limited understanding in Japanese but I believe in the screen shot it says that the current version is 3.50 and that you need to upgrade to 3.51 to play the game.
>lol I can understand japanese and that is exactly what it said on the picture
I have 5 Brand new copies of this game ( the original copies ) I will let them go at .99 a piece. I got them when I purchased a lot of games from ebay. Just put your email out here and tell me you want a copy , paypal is the only method
I called EB Games in hopes of getting a copy but the guy said that Lumines had been pulled from store shelves because "That game was being used to pirate software"
yokky4@yahoo.com thanks dude!
Im a get a copy of this tomorrow...hopefully its not patched...
I think that this was one of those 'waiting in the wings' type deals. There is no way Sony could have patched the exploit and had it on shelves in under 3 weeks. Often takes that long to ship the thing!

Go to www.secret-code-x49.com to find out what my name and Subject mean. Believe me, it's worth knowing. +D
Sony called up the stores n told them to send all the copies of the games back...n sony shipped out new ones...since these games are made in asia Japan mostly get the games first... i dont even think gamestop have these anymore...
Me + stupid :@
I knew there was a reason I bought lumines when I first got my PSP.... I hardly ever play it... But i'm glad I secured a copy none the less. Now just to up and downgrade my PSP.

I went to all the stores in Katy Mills in Texas... ALL Lumines games had been recalled!!! Its pretty hard to find the game 3 weeks later! Is there anyone who would lend it.. or sell it???
Maury@houseofproduction.com I want to buy one!
wow at wal-mart i bought like 3 copies of lumines all of them $18.98...i dont understand how other stores would sell a 3 year old game for $39.99...that price is usaully for New Releases but i can undestand the price raising on ebay and amazon cos people want to make money and people want to buy them
but im glad i ordered mine n ebay and ts unpatched
