How does the PS3 remain as the only unhacked system? And for how long?

I personally hate piracy. It just makes the rest of us suffer because we have to pay more. Damn pirates

 

No, it makes poor people enjoy something that would otherwise have been impossible, you try paying 100 dollars for a game when your income is 400 dollars, you either literally don’t pay your taxes or don't feed your children so you can play games, or you pirate..

The paradox for me here is that I'm working my way towards becoming a game designer, but that would have been impossible if I didn't pirate, thanks to piracy Ive managed to play all the great classics from NES to PS2, and now have plenty of expericne with all genres, compared to some of my team mates, who haven't pirated much and are now almost crippled game culture wise.

 

I'll introduce you to a few moral ways to reduce your game costs:

• Don't fixate on the latest and greatest systems; the PS2 is very affordable new (or even more so used) and has a massive quantity of budget priced and used games that are also very affordable.
• Rent games or trade-in games; most of the games people buy are played for a couple of days (or a couple of weeks) and then "Stored" to never be played again. Renting games can be done at a fraction of the cost of buying a game, and offers the same value to a consumer.
• Buy the same system as your friends and trade games. It may not seem natural to some people, but the cost of buying a is greatly reduced if you're constantly trading games with your friends.
