Unlock Demo PS3

this will unlock Demo PS3 from DEMONSTRATION mode

from ps3hax.net

For those of our PAL friends that have a 1.50 Demo Unit PS3, good news for you! PS3HaX Member enclave123 has manually bruteforced his way through his PAL PS3 which was locked in demonstration mode, and successfully unlocked it.

Hold L1, R1, and select simultaneously when the security settings icon is selected in the XMB. Then it'll ask for you to input a code. In this case it's 8-6-0-4, This will unlock it from demonstration mode. (There is also the code 5-2-0-2 which is said to work on many NTSC Demo PS3's)


While this has only been tested on a PAL PS3, there have not been any tests on other region PS3's, try it out and let us know your results! Good job enclave132!

Get INSIDE The Game

Headplay is probably every couch potato's dream. Imagine a TV. Now imagine being able to take it anywhere and everywhere you go (except perhaps in the shower), and being able to watch movies or play games on it anytime you want. That's the concept for the new "Personal Cinema System" device, Headplay.

Just imagine playing games like Call of Duty 2, FRAR, Oblivion on Headplay

Headplay is a head-mounted device; a TV you wear on your head. You can connect it to your gaming consoles, your DVD Player, your iPod, your PC, and maybe your Betamax player if it hasn't choked on dust yet. If it has a video out function, Headplay can most probably display it. You can also plug in a memory stick and Headplay can run the media files - movies, videos, and images - with its own built-in player. More on that later. First let's talk about what it actually is.

if you know .hack//G.U game, you can see "headplay" as (almost) M2D (the headgear used to play The World)

Quick Opera Mini 4 Beta 2 review

Just finished download operamini 4 beta 2 from pc, install it to my Nokia 6600.

It got new feature, landscape mode.
Unfortunately, this mode is very slow, the auto-switching to portrait when typing and back to landscape also make me confused,
and, its crash a lot in landscape mode.

In the web compatibility, now operamini 4 beta 2 can handle cookies correctly.
Web like blogger, vBulletin forums, now work correctly.
