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.

Actually the bolded way is the same thing you do when you download a 360 game.
But btw I think most people will buy a 99 Dollar Bluray Drive buy a 1 Terabyte external HDD and rent 50 games for one day and copy them all to the external HDD give back the games to the rental store and keep the external HDD and thats it. Or who knows maybe you will be able to copy the games directly from your PS3 to the HDD without buying an extra Bluray drive.

So, they'll buy a $100 BD, a $300 external hard drive, a store which allows them to rent 50 games, 50 games to rent, not to mention the original $150 dongle...instead of just buying a regular game?

1.5 Terabyte external harddrive 99 Euro amazon
Dongle= 120 Euro
Bluray drive 50-70 Euro
total about 300 Euro all Amazon except the USB thing.
Renting 75 games about 80-100 Euro
total cost:
380 Euro
Total cost for 75 games about 4000-4500 Euro.
Yes I think if it works a lot of people will do it. I even think if Sony cant stop it then there will be 40 Euro USB solutions from everyone pretty soon. People will download those 20gb games and wont even need to rent them or buy a bluray drive.
If sony cant stop it and this is indeed true it will have horrible effects for Sony and I am absolutely against it. But this solution is so easy and comfortable if true that I think you will see piracy increasing rapidly in the future. It actually pisses me off since I hoped there wont be any piracy in the future. But as some mentioned the Bluraydrive of the PS3 was already dumped by demonhades or who ever is responsible for that.
