Recently we have seen some truly amazing auctions show up on Ebay, the Legend of Zelda Nes game that was on sale for 150K and the $1.2 Million Ultmate Video Game Collection. Well now another of the Holy Grails of the video game world is now up for sale, Final Fantasy 2 was never released outside of Japan when Square opted to scrap its work on the Nes and focus on the 16 bit Super Nintendo. This particular cartridge was put together by the folks at Square Soft USA to display at the 1991 Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Cart is the only one in existance.

A few years ago the Homebrew community went from one console to another releasing some excellent software, from the Days of the Dreamcast the first breakthrough homebrew console, to the PSP which gave us the first handheld Nintendo 64, GBA and PSX emulators on an handheld. The last few years we have seen Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and Apple all bring out means to thwart homebrew develepment. The app store on both Android and IOS has took many homebrew devs over to them to try and break the market. With the major consoles they have so many firmware updates these days that the days of Homebrew seem to be numbered, is there a way back for the Homebrew Community?

Freeplay has today released the first Homebrew
Devkit for the PS3 which rather than use PS3
Linux uses BluRay Disc Java to create homebrew on the PS3. The Devkit contains
all you need to create Hello World in the BDJ format on the PS3. Silenoz used
the same exploit to release Blaster
Bunny for PS3.
