October 26th, 2011 -- More exclusive PS3 news just in to our Crunching desk for all of our loyal members and followers!

The actual name of the JB2 dongle has now been announced along with official confirmed features and specs:

Welcome to the era of 'True Blue' for your PS3 which enables all your Jailbreak dreams and needs!

'True Blue' features:
Booting of games from v3.6+ (up to v3.73) from special BD-R discs available from official resellers
Runs games up to v3.56 from HDD in conjunction with 'backup managers'
Does not require the Power/Eject trick
Custom v3.55 Dongle firmware behaves like OFW when 'True Blue' is not inserted
Manufactured from highest grade components and Actel based
Durable and high quality metal case design
Tough and durable plastic packaging
Further features to be added as they are developed
On board 2 MBytes SPI flash
Supports Fat and Slim consoles currently running any firmware up to v3.55
And any PS3 which can be downgraded from v3.6+ to v3.55 (NOTE: Requires other tools, 'True Blue' currently can't downgrade a Console)
Supports all regions of consoles
Supports all regions of ISO’s to be released
Rock solid crystal oscillator on board for flawless timing
The 'True Blue' dongle allows booting of the latest the ISO’s (3.6+) from special BD-R discs which can be purchased from all official resellers.

The discs can be burned by any BD-R recorder and there are no special requirements on either PC or BD burner types.

Whilst we can disclose that the discs are specially manufactured to allow booting of the latest ISO’s, further technical information on the way by which the BD-R discs can allow booting cannot be provided, for obvious reasons.

It looks like the reverse engineering of Jailbreak 2 (JB2) has just begun. Below, you’ll find detailed information about the JB2 dongle, its v3.55 CFW/MFW, and the download links. Be sure to read the description!

THIS IS NOT A CFW

I'm kinda a noob at this, do you have to press start+eject everytime you use this dongle
