How To Make a PlayStation 3 Break Mod Chip
Modification chips are generally soldered to the motherboards of video game consoles to activate them. The Sony PlayStation 3 mod chip can be plugged into the PS3's USB port to be effective. This makes it much easier for non-technically savvy people to make and use this type of mod chip. One of the mod chip's names is "PS3 Break" as it is similar to the "jailbreaking" process on the Apple iPhone.
