| Kantor said: There is a modchip involved. It's just not a mod or a chip. It's a USB dongle. It's not like they're able to crack your PS3 through the fourth dimension or anything. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how the hack works. I probably am wrong, because Firefox isn't letting me anywhere near their website. First, you put your Blu-ray into the PS3. Then, you copy all 20GB of data over onto the hard drive. Fair enough. Now, let's see how this can lead to piracy. First, you buy a handy Blu-ray drive for your computer. Then, you upload 20GB of data onto the internet. Then, someone at the other end, who, naturally, has a Blu-ray burner, downloads the 20GB and burns it onto the Blu-ray disc. They then put the disc into the PS3, copy all 20GB over, and then they can play the game. I don't see this becoming very widespread. |
The dongle is just using a code from Sony itself that somewhat leaked into the hands of a certain manufacturer. Soon enough a custom code to be used in any USB drive will appear in the internet for free just like it happened with the Wii, I guess.
And you need no blu-ray drive or anything, just an external HDD. Rent or download the game, upload it into the drive and pronto.
