to me i think it is much simpler.

Blu Ray blank discs are still pricy and so are the burners. Even if it was hacked you would need to run it of the internal hdd which means you could only have one game at a time.

Isn't the BR today at price levels of DVD in the days when PS2 was hacked ? I'd rather look into higher than average console age of ps3 owners which means they have cash to spend.

 

 no.  BluRay recorders are about $500AU ($350US), and $50AU ($35US) for 50gb SONY disc.

 

Well at least where I am. When PS2 was hacked DVD-rs where $2AU each here.

Are you sure ? I can buy LG multi format BR and HD-DVD burned for 170 euro, 25 GB verbatim discs for 5 euro and 50 gig TDK disc for 11-12 euro.

 

 Triple your prices and that is about Aus prices. it is liek our games have always been 2x US price even when our dollar was 1:1 almost, before the economy crash:

excuse: dollar value (we accepted it)

when 1:1

new excuse: shipping to Aus is expensive (people accepted this lame BS excuse). 

 

In reality I think our small population is what keep prices double the US no matter what our dollar is worth.
