Information so far:
Well there has been a USB dongle hack for the PS3. This is very controversial because only two people have really confirmed it but these two people are very respected members of the PSX scene moding community. The two sites backing the claim are

The USB Dongle is meant to allow you to run PS3 games straight from the HD. It lets you rip them to the HD and the play them from it. You can do this from a USB Dongle with an application on it called "Backup Manager" The USB Dongle should also allow you to run unsigned code so can anyone say HOMEBREW! It essentially turns your PS3 into a Dev-Kit. The product in question has been shipped to a few modding websites for review and the company is based in Hong Kong.

The first PS3 modchip has arrived and PSX-SCENE is the FIRST site to CONFIRM it is 100% REAL!!!
PSX-SCENE is the first any ONLY website to CONFIRM that this product is working 100% Not by speculation but by being the only website to actually have testers with actual product in hand! We will have a video courtesy of OzModchips soon so stay tuned!!!
I have been in contact directly with the manufacturer and can confirm some things you have all been asking about...
1. FAT32 is currently supported. They are working on NTFS.
2. They recommend staying on current firmware and not updating until they have deemed it safe. The dongle is fully updatable.
3. Online play does work but they cannot guarantee that it will work with all future titles.
4. Final retail units are ready to ship.
5. Official reseller list will be on their site in the next 48 hours. You can pre-order from any of the official resellers. There are websites out there now claiming to be selling but they are not legitimate. Don't get ripped off. Wait until the official list is posted.

That's pretty cool, but I don't expect to buy a PS3 anytime soon.

Nope, just DRIVE flashing, as the only way to debug a xbox in a sense is to have a developers console (or a jtag to run unsigned code).

##Update
Code:
This news should make even the whole of the current news Gamescom stand in the shadows: the PS3 has now officially hacked. Just a little unsolicited Express package is eingetrudelt with us.
Content: A small USB dongle that says PSJailbreak and manual.
A handful of exclusive distribution of selected stores around the world have received this pattern.
Some have tried it and successfully tested.
We will do the same once ran and post the results here.
According to the manufacturer may be using PSJailbreak original games on the internal or install either an external hard drive and play from there. An original game must always be in the drive, if you want to play games from the hard drive.
Which game in Laufwerkliegt not care.
PSJailbreak to about 100 in sales - cost 120 EUR.

UPDATE:
UPDATE:
PSJailbreak does exactly what he verpricht.
The operation is as follows:
PSJailbreak plug into the USB port, turn on PS3, turn right after the brief press the eject button.
Once the PS3 is powered up, you have a new menu item: INSTALL PACKAGE FILE.
This menu point is only reserved for debug consoles, but thanks PSJailbreak also at normal retail consoles.
The package file which you then install the baking Uploader, which you can download from PS
