Game Genie is Back This July for PS3

While it's already been back out for the Nintendo 3DS/DS for the past few months, the Game Genie is gearing up to be rebooted for the home console by Hyperkin.  The original Game Genie by Codemasters and Galoob was a plug and play cheating device made for the NES, SNES, Genesis, and more.  The user would input a string of code copied from a Game Genie book that would enable unlimited lives, free ammo, and other useful in game power-ups.  As we've come a long way from the 8 bit gaming days, the device is prepping to keep up with the demands of the modern day video game system.

From the press release:

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.

A Hyperkin employee has told Kotaku that the Game Genie for Playstation 3 should arrive this July. Excited to cheat again?
