By the makers own admission, the PSJailbreak has already been ‘cloned’. Upon their website (which is now partially accessible), there is a message which states the following (been there

since the start, although not many have been able to see)- “Beware of imitators and chinese knock-offs, PS Jailbreak is the original solution, Buy original for warranty and support”. Upon analysis of the text, the clearly wouldn’t let people know there are ‘knock-offs’ in existance if there weren’t. Although, from their later plea to buy the ‘original for warranty and support’, this suggests that the knock-offs do actually work otherwise they would say they don’t. This whole device has been a bit of a ‘mystery’ and perhaps it is all over mainland China right now. Check the image to the left inside to see the full ‘warning’.

One of the biggest complain has been the high price tag for the original PS3 Jailbreak($169), considering that it could go to waste if Sony cripples it in the next firmware update. And so as a result, Chinese clones of PS Jailbreak USB Modchip have started to pop up already which costs relatively less (around $20 to $30) than the original thing.

According to the original creators of PS Jailbreak, different “Chinese Knockoffs” are floating around and we should stay away from them. If you buy the original PS Jailbreak USB Modchip, you will get complete warranty and support from the original author of PS Jailbreak, while the rip-off version will not cater to anything.

These cheap alternate clones may flood the market in the coming days and weeks. Now if the code of original PS Jailbreak USB goes public, then there’s a high possibility that anyone will be able to make their own custom USB Modchips for free, which I believe is how it should have been right from start.
