It's such a hassle as it is to mod the 360. Open up the console, which voids the warranty, get the system flashed and hoping you don't screw it up (easier if you hire someone reliable to do it but even then I wouldn't trust someone doing that to a valuable console like that). Then you either gotta scan and possibly modify the pirate copies so that you minimize your chance of getting caught on xbl or get off xbl completely (resulting in an inferior game experience. no patches, no DLC, no FREE DLC and no online play.) Oh and if you have RRoD or some other error for warranty repairs? You better hope MS doesn't notice that the sticker was tampered with! Too much risk for the reward IMO.
Now modding a PS3 and pirating PS3 games? It would be so not worth it. It would be even worse than 360 modding on all fronts. Totally not worth it. PS3 modchips won't take off. Even 360 flashing hasn't taken off all that much (except for people who are diehard cheap skates willing to take the high risk for the high reward). That's why 360's attach rate pwns the PS2's. PS3 modchips will be even less relevant because you gotta solder and once the firmware update is out, you can't go on psn ever again if you don't want to brick the PS3 and you might not be able to play future games.
