There is a streaming limit on the PS3 Hard Drive which does not allow files that are bigger than a certain size to be played off the hard drive. Therefore, if the PS3 firmware were to be hacked like the PSP, most games would not be able to be played off the hard drive (the way it's done on hacked PSPs). This means Blu Ray's have to be used. And Blu Ray burners are not as common as DVD drives were and will not be for a little while more. When you take into account that PS3 launched in 2006, it's understandable that people have not really invested time into pirating it. |
I can get a BR burner for under $150 right now, and I haven't even tried looking for any bargains. Brand new from Newegg with free shipping, and the $2-3 for a disc is still way cheaper than a new game. BR is by no means a limitng factor here, just like DVDs being equally expensive at this point in the PS2's life wasn't stopping the pirates either.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
