GripShift - Image 1

Well now this is rather interesting. Surprising? No, not really. But yes, still very much interesting indeed. You all have probably already heard about the GripShift exploit that MaTiAz found the other day. The Hello World Sparta SDK was released, and consequentially, the very first homebrew game too - Pong!

Following news of some "enterprising individuals" on eBay who want to make a quick buck, we now have this. Guess what I found on Amazon earlier while I was snooping around? A US$ 130 GripShift for sale! Like whoa, talk about losing your grip! Question is... you know GripShift should be somewhere around US$15 or less. But... are you desperate enough?

To see if this increases even more if there's an actual downgrader made

On eBay, did you know it costs $1.25 for sellers to list items with prices that high, even if the item doesnt receive any bids or no one buys it you still have to pay the $1.25 in seller fees. Plus, if someone wins theres a final value fee. Maybe it's cheaper to sell on Amazon, I dont know.

# is there a downloadable version? — lee123 2009-01-11 09:50

i no theres a downloadable gripshift for ps3 is there one on the psp store?

# I bought my copy for $30 — rrm74001 2009-01-11 10:53

I bought my copy of Gripshift for only $30 on eBay. Not to shabby.

# . — akadewboy 2009-01-11 10:58

No.

# 7.99 — jk1227 2009-01-11 11:01

Check this out. At Gamestop they are selling it for 7.99. I can't believe you would pay 130 dollars for this game. Thats insane. http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=39575

# ok — lee123 2009-01-11 11:42

might go down my local gameworld and see if they got any

# lol — WiiRolled 2009-01-11 11:54

30$ is too much for this old piece of software

# ... — Stinky_1 2009-01-11 12:28

they sold out pretty quick!

# wow — StingBlah 2009-01-11 12:42

I hope there is no downgrader made from this, just to see the internet's reaction

# no downgrader — tcraw7813 2009-01-11 13:25

There will never be a downgrader for PSP-3000 because it cant be downgraded to 1.50, just like the PSP-2000. The only thing we can hope for is a custom firmware with a mixture kernal of 1.5 and other current firmware.

# haha! Gripshift on gamestop is best sellers — DarkXCloud 2009-01-11 13:53

Look at gamestop!

It has gripshift has better sellers!

btw... I have them at my place for about 7 bucks.

# WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! — crait 2009-01-11 15:59
