Overview : The X3Max is a revolutionary USB development board. The X3Max has a 32bit MCU (processor) and 128KB of memory in which to store user hex, these features are unparalleled and not available in any other USB development board. This powerful hardware specification provides the extensibility required to ensure a future proof solution that will be able to keep up with the latest advances in code development. The X3Max also has an inbuilt MicroSD(HC) slot which provides even further expandability!
With the custom X3Tool programming/flashing software, simple tasks such as uploading hex to the X3 Max are extremely simple as showed in our guide, no drivers are required, simply download the X3Tool software, plug the X3Max in to your computer and flash!
While the X3Max is very simple to use for the end user who just wants to upload pre-made hex to the board, the combination of the powerful X3Max hardware and X3Tool software means that tasks undertaken by developers and advanced users such as editing the payload can be done right from within the X3Tool software! No complicated multi-software solutions are required.
The X3Max comes complete in a sturdy plastic presentation case along with a free screwdriver used to open the casing. THIS DOES NOT WORK ON FIRMWARE 3.42 OR ABOVE UNTIL A NEW EXPLOIT/METHOD IS FOUND!

Quality/Usability : X3Max was originally known as x3Jailbreak. Lots of people thought it was a fake and a hoax. But I think as the X3 team released more information, people started to take them more serious. X3 released a old sample which was similar to other jailbreak dongles but decided to stand out from the rest of the crop. Usually, USB jailbreak devices have 32kb of program memory. The Teensy++ 2.0 has 128kb and is the preferred choice by PS3 hackers. However, X3Max released their own 128kb USB development board. But there's more to it...they also included a microSD(HC) slot that supports up to 32GB! This is a first in the scene. However, for the tech savvy, you can purchase a SD adapter and solder it onto the Teensy but the X3Max does not require any work on your part. The microSD(HC) slot is simply accessed by unscrewing (with free included screwdriver) the casing and sliding off the aluminum case. Honestly, this screwdriver is cheap and crap. I suggest using tools from a eyeglass repair kit. I almost stripped the screws using the tool. With the cap off, the board would shift around. I even tried using it without the screw in place but its needed. When the X3Max is plugged into a USB port, obviously, the only place for you to grab would be the aluminum casing. So when you try to pull the X3Max dongle out, all you're left with in your hands is the case and the X3Max still in the USB port.
So like all our reviews, we put each product through different tests to see what they do and how it can be improved, if any (we do our best to help manufacturers so that customers get the best product and they know what to expect if they purchase). There wasn't much information provided to us about the microSD(HC) slot other than what you have read above. So I had to do some figuring out myself and I came up empty. I inserted a SanDisk 2GB microSD card and when plugged into the PC, nothing pops up as a USB storage. Tried plugging it into the PS3 to see if the microSD is recognized, same thing. Nothing. I've contacted my source at X3Max and they will be getting in contact with the engineers as to when, how, what and more information about this feature. As of now, it seems to be non-operational. Its not used for dual booting payloads as you can load both Hermes v4b and KaKaRoTo PL3 on to the 128kb memory. The only thing I can think of is being used as a USB storage device built in. We'll update this one we get more information and have tested it out. The location of the microSD slot is a big flaw in the design. Anytime you want to get to the microSD, you would need to remove the case.
Before you start, you'll need these files:*NOTE: When I first reviewed the X3Max, I had problems loading any Hermes payload. However, after working with X3Max and trying to solve the problem, X3Max has released a new Generic.bin file which I have attached. Now, ALL hex's do really work. I have tried multiple Hermes hex files and didn't have any problems.
How to Setup X3Max :- Download the necessary files above.
- Remove rear plastic cap and toggle the switch on the back of the X3Max to the ON position (Right - closest to edge. This is the Programming/Bootloader mode).
- Run the X3 Tool.exe.
- Once X3 Tool is loaded, you'll see "Connected" (If not connected, then your switch is not in the ON position).
- To use the new Generic Hex Flashing functionality you will need to first flash a new firmware with the latest 'x3MAX_Generic.bin" file under 'Load Firmware'. This file is included with the Programming Tool and you only need to do this once.
- Once this is complete, click the 'Open Hex' button under 'Load Payload' or 'Open' button under 'Load Firmware' and load any .hex or .bin file, respectively.
- If this was a valid hex file you will see the descriptor data loaded.
- Click 'Program' once again to flash your .hex or .bin file.
- Once the program has transferred the file to your X3Max, you will get a message that says "PROGRAMMING PAYLOAD COMPLETE" for .hex or "PROGRAMMING FIRMWARE COMPLETE" for .bin.
- Don't forget to set back the switch to the OFF position (left side, closest to middle) and run on your PS3 and enjoy!
There is no way to flip the switch with the cap on. You would need to remove the back cap just to be able to access the switch. This can be a hassle for those who like to try different HEX files. I used "any .hex or .bin" loosely as the file size for a Hermes v4b HEX file for a PIC18F was "too big". The file size was only 39kb where as a Teensy++ 2.0 HEX file was only 34kb. So its more like "majority" or "99.9%" of .hex or .bin files.
Operation :
Once the power to your console is completely disconnected:- Turn on the console (PS3 Fat with the switch, PS3 Slim connecting the power cable)
- Insert X3Max into a USB port on the PS3
- Start up the PS3 and press the EJECT button.
- The LED (which should have been red and blue initially) will change to blue.
- If the above process worked, there will be a link to “Install Package File” in the game menu.
In order to make sure the X3Max dongle worked flawlessly, I had to uninstall all my homebrew applications that I had originally installed. To install applications or any homebrew applications, you will need to download and save the .pkg files to a USB drive such as thumbdrive or harddrive. To install, simply insert USB drive to the PS3 and navigate to "INSTALL PACKAGE FILES" on the XMB under GAME. Select the file you want to install by pressing X and it will automatically install the file. All applications installed and loaded without any problems.
When the X3Max is connected to the PS3, you'll see a blue LED. This confirms that the jailbreak was successful. If it does not light up, repeat the jailbreak process. If it happens again, make sure that the Hex file was correctly installed.
Conclusion : Overall, the X3Max x3Jailbreak USB microSD SDHC is a nice product but has some minor flaws. The design is flawed as the USB board wiggles when the back cap is removed. Theres no access to the switch unless the back cap is removed. The screws are really small and the included screwdriver is crap. In order to access the microSD(HC) slot, you would need to remove the back cap, both screws and the aluminum case. It would have been nice if the microSD slot was spring loaded but due to the size of the board, I can maybe see why it was not included. At first, I had a problem with loading Hermes HEX files. But working with X3Max to try and figure out why, X3Max released an updated Generic.bin (1.1) file that solved the problem (file attached). Now all hex's work whether it be Hermes payload or PL3. We'll update the review when we find out more information about the microSD and getting all HEX files to work. But other than the minor nitpicking design flaws and unknown use of the microSD, I'm impressed with the quality and the ability to use any hex you put on it.
At the time of this review, this currently does not support the Linux incentive known as AsbestOS. X3Max are working on an update to support it and will be released shortly. Also In the works will be the ability to directly hex edit in the descriptor windows and flash directly to your X3Max. For the coders out there, you will be able to modify payload information without having to recompile/reflash over and over.

Quality/Usability : The P3Go GT-Break II showed up on the PS3 scene out of no where. The pictures looked sleek and is the first product to actually include a power switch to be used on PS3 Slim only. But not much information was provided other than its another USB jailbreak device but is somewhat...unique. It featured a microSDHC slot and 128MB of memory. Yes, 128MB. The biggest we have seen so far is 128kb. Was this a typo? There's only one way to find out...
When I first read and saw pictures of the P3Go, I was a bit skeptical as with probably a bunch of gamers. Was this another hoax or maybe another cheap clone to take advantage or us gamers and to make a quick buck. Well after receiving our sample, its legit. The dongle itself is fairly thin but is definitely wider and bigger than the other USB jailbreak dongles out on the market. The P3Go GT-Break II case has a rubber texture feel to it that gives it some grip. And yes, the "G" logo does actually light up! But what about what they advertised? Let's just say, I'm impressed and I'll describe why in this review.
YES, it does indeed have 128MB of memory. I know, thats insane! Like all storage devices, after being formatted, you don't get the true 128MB. When the P3Go GT-Break II is plugged into the USB port of your computer, there are two removable disk drives that show up. The first is the onboard memory that actually has 90.1MB of total space and the other removable disk drive is the microSD(HC). For the onboard memory, of that 90.1MB of total space, only 38.4MB is left. Where did all that space go? Well the first 38MB that is not recognized is from formatting and bootloader. But not only is the P3Go GT-Break II a jailbreak device but it acts as a USB thumbdrive as well and thats where 51.6MB has gone to. The P3Go GT-Break II actually comes with files already pre-installed (as shown above) such as FTP, GAIA manager, Open Manager, Backup Manager and even their own Open Manager. However, its just a rebadged Open Manager with their logo. The folder "PS3_GAME" contains cover images and Open Manager related files. So there really is no need to save your homebrew applications on a separate thumbdrive or external harddrive. We'll discuss more about the microSDHC slot further into the review.
Even though it comes preloaded with files, its always best to download the latest files from their Downloads page. This ensures that you have the latest versions of applications. At the time of this review, our P3Go contained files from 10/22/10. They released a new file on 10/26/10. This new file contains files for Hermes v4b and KaKaRoTo PL3.
To update the P3Go Firmware :- Download latest file and look for "update.bin"
- Insert P3Go into USB port of your computer
- Place "update.bin" into root of microSD(HC)
- Remove and reinsert P3Go into USB port again
- During this time, the red and blue lights will flash at the same time
- 1 second later, the red LED will turn off, blue LED is flashing
- 2 seconds later, both red and blue are turned on and steady
- The updating progress is over!
Attention :
- TF or Storage Driver must be formatted into FAT/FAT32.
- Don't remove P3Go while updating progress.
- update.bin file will be deleted automatic after updating.
- If red light shines for a long time means updating failed, you must check your file or hardware for issue.
- Don't use USB HUB for Storage Driver.
Requirements :- PS3 Console (fat or slim)
- Console (firmware) version 3.41 only
- Remove all discs from the drive
- Do not connect any devices to the console via USB
IMPORTANT: The console must be completely switched off before using P3Go. For fat versions, use the switch at the rear. For slim versions, if you have a "G-Switch", it will be more convenient to operate just like the fat PS3. This is extremely important for the process to work correctly when you start the console.
Operation :- Cut off the power of your PS3. For the fat PS3, press the power off button on the back. If you own the slim, disconnect the power cable from the system. If you have a "G-Switch", it will be more convenient to operate just like the fat PS3.
- If you want to load Hermes payload, plug your P3Go into any of the PS3 USB slots. Be sure that NO microSD(HC) is in the slot.
- If you want to load PL3 payload, you will need to insert a microSD(HC) into the slot or else it will automatically boot into Hermes.
- Turn on your PS3 and press the Eject button very quick (most important).
- While booting P3Go, it will light up and flash blue and red. When the blue light is on instead of flashing, it means booting progress is over and the jailbreak is successful. You will also see “Install Package File” in the game menu.
What makes the P3Go stand out and unique from the rest of the USB jailbreaks other than the 128MB memory and microSDHC slot, is that you are able to boot both, Hermes v4b and PL3 without having to reflash. To boot in Hermes mode, simply plug P3Go GT-Break II into PS3 with NO microSDHC in slot. If you want PL3, just insert microSD(HC) into the GT-Break II. As you can see, inserting a microSD(HC) acts as a switch between the two payloads but is also a storage device. For the microSD(HC) to be recognized as a storage device, it would need to be inserted into the GT-Break II after the PS3 has been jailbroken. But the TF card is only recognized under MUSIC, VIDEO and PHOTO. It is not recognized under GAME. The microSD(HC) slot is spring loaded so it makes removal of microSD(HC) cards very easy but if you have the PS3 in a vertical position, the microSD(HC) slot is aimed down. So inserting the microSD card with the dongle in the PS3 can be a little tough.
Unfortunately, at the moment, you are unable to load your own .hex or .bin files. As of 11/03/10, G-Team did have this to say:
P3GO upgrade advance notice
Recently we will upgrade a very meaningful extended function to fully reflect the structural and capacity advantages of P3GO. We will use a simple method to realize a very special function in P3GO. (We are so sorry that we can not tell the function at present.) We believe that our products will better than others, and we will bring more functions to your love machine! At that time, we will also open some source code, and we will give our technical customers development kit for the P3GO. In another word, if you like, you can compile your own firmware to the P3GO, and not need the official update. Please just waiting, we are coming soon….
CLICK HERE TO READ OUR REVIEW ON THE P3Go G-Switch Power ON/OFF Slim
Conclusion : Overall, the P3Go GT-Break II USB microSD SDHC is probably one of the nicest and sleekest PS3 jailbreak dongles out on the market. You get best of both worlds with payloads without having to reflash each time. If you want KaKaRoTo PL3, you will need a microSD(HC) in the slot. Granted, not everyone may have a microSD but everyone should have atleast one whether it be from an old phone, camera or DS flash cart. If you insert the microSD(HC) card after the PS3 has been jailbroken, the TF card is recognized under the MUSIC, VIDEO and PHOTO but not under GAME. Another great thing is the 128MB of memory. This makes the GT-Break II a great all-in-one. You can install all your necessary homebrew applications and payloads all in one USB dongle. The included G-Switch is also nice especially for those who own a PS3 Slim but would do no good for those who own a PS3 fat. But PS3 fat owners can either hold onto it incase they get a Slim in the future, give it to a friend who owns a Slim or sell it. Even though the soldering job of the G-Switch isn't clean, it still works.
Not only do buyers look for great products but we also look for great support for the products we buy. There has been a few updates already and the G-Team has been quick to release the new updates.
Out of all the jailbreak clones on the market, this is by far the best bang for your money...once they allow open source and the ability to load your own files such as .hex and .bin. Retailing between $24.00-$26.00, not only do you get a 128MB USB jailbreak device that supports up to 32GB microSD(HC) but you also get a ON/OFF switch. Even if you have no need for the switch, its still the best bang for your money.

The video below is from an official reseller but here is the kicker...they are charging $40 for the downgrade PLUS the cost of the PS Jailbreak dongle. It seems to be confirmed by other resellers that the PS Downgrade is NOT free and that you'll have to fork over $40 to downgrade. Below are the prices pulled from http://www.ps-downgrade.com/checkout.htm- PS Jailbreak + PS Downgrade $125.00
- PS Jailbreak $100.00
- PS Downgrade (Requires a PS Jailbreak) $40.00
Suggested Retail Pricing- 1PC 40.00$ USD
- 2PC 38.00$ USD
- 5PC 35.00$ USD
- 10PC 33.00$ USD
- 50PC 30.00$ USD
- 100PC 27.00$ USD
PS Jailbreak team has said that they worked really hard on this and to prevent others from cloning or hacking their own products. What do you think? You think it can be done? This is great news for the PS3 Scene, but I would of loved to see a 3.50 jailbreak.

xoeo has hacked his way back onto PlayStation Network (PSN). The modified payload for 3.15 and 3.41, re-enables PSN access…for now. The hex files can be flashed to the PS3YES or any other device equipped with the AT90USB162 at 16MHz and AT90USB1287 at 8MHz. Other builds will follow when people start to compile it for their boards or to help others.
Be careful though, Sony will likely be all over this and will be fixing it quickly. However, they may even detect that you’re using a hacked PS3 which puts you at risk of getting banned.
Download files and source can be found in source link.

P3Go G-Switch Power ON/OFF Slim
Manufacturer: G-Team
Site: Buy from DealExtreme / Buy from VolumeRates / Buy from LighTake / Buy from PriceAngels
Price: $4.18-$5.99
P3Go GT-Break II USB microSD SDHC:
Site: Buy from DealExtreme / Buy from LighTake / Buy from PriceAngels
Price: $24.00-26.00 (dongle and switch)
Overview : Prevent wear and tear from constantly plugging and unplugging power cable on the back of your PS3 Slim.
Features for G-Switch :- Supports only PS3 Slim from any region. (USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA)
- One time installation – Plug & Play and forget.
- Allows you to recycle power on your PS3 Slim without the need of unplugging the cable from the back of your console.
- Made out of high resistance polymer which is fireproof and has been built to last.
Quality/Usability : In order to jailbreak your console, the PlayStation 3 console needs to be cold booted. That means you'll either have to turn the switch off and on, on the back of a fat PS3 or unplug and plug the power cord on the PS3 Slim. PS3 fat users got it easy but for Slim owners, it can be a hassle especially if your PS3 is in an entertainment center or in a spot that is hard to reach.
G-Team has found a solution for all you PS3 Slim owners. They have released a switch that plugs in-between the PS3 Slim console and power cord thus giving you a dedicated ON/OFF switch without the need of constantly unplugging the power cord. However, the G-Switch actually comes included with their P3Go GT-Break II USB Jailbreak dongle but not everyone needs the dongle, so some retailers are selling just the switch alone.
The G-Switch is a simple plug and play solution. Simply unplug the power cord from the PS3 Slim (this would be the last time you'll need to do this unless you're packing up your PS3). Insert the G-Switch into the back of your PS3 Slim and than attach the power cord to the G-Switch. The G-Switch is now in-between the cord and console. Now, rather than unplugging the power cord from the console, just flip the switch. To get power, just flip the switch to the ON position.
The G-Switch worked as it should however, upon opening it up, the soldering job didn't look like it was done by machines at the manufacturing plant but by a worker instead. The switch worked as it should as I have constantly flipped the switch on and off but the soldering job wasn't as clean. Maybe they needed to include it with the dongles or maybe their manufacturing plant wasn't capable or soldering the switch due to design?
Conclusion : Overall, the P3Go G-Switch Power ON/OFF Slim is a much needed accessory for anyone jailbreaking their console. The quality of the switch is very good but the soldering job could have been better and cleaner. Than again, what average user will go ahead and open up a product to see the inside? So as long it works and doesn't break, that's all that matters, right? The price is very affordable and online retailers offer FREE shipping for those who already have their preferred jailbreak device but is looking for a ON/OFF switch.

So you bought a new Xbox 360 S console bundled with Kinect and like many others, you found out that your new camera doodad doesn't come with its own power supply. Microsoft thought you intended to use your Kinect with the Slim and this console alone. However, if you purchased the standalone Kinect or plan to purchase the standalone to be used with old Xbox 360's, the power supply is included.
Microsoft's online store now has a listing for the power supply. You'll have to reach into your wallet for $34.99, if you want one. That's almost one whole fifth of the cost of Kinect on its own but if you need one, now you know where to get it.
You think this was intentional to be left out and make you spend more money or just poor choice or thinking?
