Back in de day van de NES, SuperNintendo, SEGA MegaDrive waren veel gamers bekend met Game Genie, een apparaatje dat je tussen je console en je cartridge had. Dan voerde je een code in om bijvoorbeeld eindeloos levens te krijgen of geen health verlies etc etc. Nu leek het er op dat dit een icoon van het verleden was geworden, maar niks is minder waar. Want Game Genie komt terug voor de PlayStation 3 en is op de E3 aanwezig. Sterker ze willen het product nog in de eerste week van Juli in de winkels hebben.

The Game Genie works by modifying save data with cheat codes that unlock a variety of possibilities. The Game Genie: Save Editor for PS3 is the first code device amongst any competitor's products that actually manipulates save files and works for the PS3. Hyperkin will debut the Game Genie: Save Editor for PS3 at E3, the premier trade show for the video game industry. Located in Booth #417 in the South Hall, the Hyperkin booth will offer E3 attendees the opportunity to see firsthand the kinds of cheats available for several blockbuster games such as Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Twisted Metal, Street Fighter X Tekken and Final Fantasy XII-2. Attendees will get to experience the power of maximum lives, ammo, power-ups and unlocked levels that make any game easily beatable.

The Game Genie: Save Editor for PS3 comes in a USB flash drive that contains an installation program that allows users to transfer save files between the PS3 and the PC. Players can use the PC program in the USB drive in order to write cheats onto their save files. Players can then transfer the edited save files from their PC back onto their PS3 to enjoy a powered-up game file. The Game Genie PC program works through a continuously updated server that adds the newest codes for the newest games.
