The PS3 is difficult to hack, it uses the Cell to decode complicated encryptions.

In addition there aren't many Blu-Ray burners out there yet.

Once the PS3 gets hacked, a simple automatic firmware update may put an end to pirating joys.

The PS3 is not kind towards pirates.

For a person who is supposedly technologically knowledgeable you sure as hell dont know a lot about hacking.

I don't think PS3 Hacking will take off with people, mostly due to cost...

Lets say it was hacked though:

Burning a game to a BluRay Disk: Like many have already said, each disc is expensive, and then you need a BluRay burner which is more expensive, then you need the bandwidth and HDD space to download it...

Burning a game to the Hard Drive: The PS3 uses the 2.5" laptop Hard Drives, which we all know is real expensive compared to a 3.5" desktop ones... So you spend all this money for a 300GB to fit 25-50GB Games? all that for 6-12 games?

Compared to the Wii, where each disc will cost you 20 cents
And the Xbox1, where you plug in a 500GB HDD, and you can play over 200 Xbox Games

As far as PS3 Hacking goes, what will make it explode on the scene is homebrew, XBMC. PS3 has far more potential in XBMC then the Xbox360

The PS3 can use a desktop (3.5") HD just fine. You'd just have to keep it outside of the console.

So you could get a 750gb HD for roughly the cost of 2 PS3 games. Then you could fit 30 25gb games on their easy, and as most PS3 games are less then 15gb you could easily fit more then 60 games. That doesn't even take into account any ripping that could be done.
