| Burning Typhoon said: Uh.. people can't get on PSN with a hacked PS3. Also, the 360 was hacked much earlier on than the PS3 in it's life... And, it still has to become popular. Again, no one wants to spend the time it takes to download something like Metal Gear Solid 4 when it would be much easier to go to the store and buy it... and then, you can't get on PSN after spending all that time with it? I just don't see what would make hacking the PS3 so worth anything.... Playing bootlegged games isn't enough... and, you can't use the online store? Why?... why hack the thing if it'll hamper you... then, when you get banned by Sony, you have to turn around and buy another PS3 right?... What if the hacking will cause them to update the hardware within the PS3 (OMG, NEW SKU)... Then people will complain because there's another SKU out on the market that they don't own... like it matters.... Are you prepared to download Uncharted 3, just because you want to play it 3 weeks early? What? You say you don't have a Blue-ray disc burner? Well, get one... And, after that, be prepared to wait for the 1 month download of a 60+ GB game.... No PS3 at the moment reads 67 GB blu ray discs, and who knows how long the hacks will take to enable the feature... Maybe Sony did that on purpose.... There will be so many complications and time considerations... No 360 game will ever be more than 16 GB, but, the PS3's bluray drive can be updated to read the bigger discs, and games already require that you download the latest software to play them... which is included on the disc if you can't get online and download/install it..... It's just... like I said... not worth the trouble... You still have to pay for the Bluray disc burner, discs, and wait for the thing to download for 4 months, assuming there's always a seeder feeding you at a decent speed.... Then for other, larger games you have to find the 67 GB discs to hold the entire game... Then, by the time the game comes out, you may as well had bought it, because when it releases, you'll still be downloading... and that's all assuming you dont brick your PS3, and void the warrenty... Do you know how many games you'd have to download to justify the costs of bootlegging? You may as well go get the official game. |
Or, you could just rent a game and rip it to the PS3, no need for downloads or blu-ray burners, there.
As for the PSN thing: most of the countries where piracy is rife (South America, Eastern Europe, Asia), the PSN is mostly unavaliable or its services are severely limited, not too much to lose out on, really.
