Sony has been granted a temporary injunction against the new PS3 mod known as PS Jailbreak in Australia. The ban Down Under is through the end of August, which gives Sony a bit of time to get their case together for a permanent ban on the chip. It looks like Sony is already hard at work trying to keep the piracy at bay.
For now, Aussies, there's a no-go on chips for you, as the import and sale of the PS Jailbreak is totally shut down. But they're sold out anyway. Kotaku says that if they fail, chips can go back on sale start September 1st. I can't imagine that the nation's court would let that happen.
For everyone else, the official webpage for the device has an authorized outlet list.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

While I still don't want it to be too easy, for gaems' sake, I would like to be able to buy a chip or two and get my solderin on if it means I get OtherOS back.
Mad? No, but I was sad to see it gone, it was fun to have. Nowhere near essential, as some claim, but again, if all it takes is an afternoon project to get it back, I'm in, because tinkering was why I liked it in the first place.
Yeah! How dare Sony try to stop parasites from stealing games!
Duh
Anyway, people who really want this are just going to import it anyway. Not that I really care- I only have an Xbox, haha.
