So presumably you need the disc first to make a back-up of it?

Yes, but torrents of PS3 games will most likely start to pop up soon if this thing ends up being a success. People won't even need a blu-ray burner, just transfer it to an external HDD.

Anyways I guess one could just rent games and be done with it for now.

As I said in the other thread about this (this is the third fucking thread on this topic), that would require a 50GB upload, followed by a 50GB download, and either a blu-ray burner or a rather large external HDD. A pretty massive internal PS3 HDD, too.

As far as I know, not a single PS3 game has been close to 50gb in size. The closet I know of was MGS4, and that was just 32gb. Most PS3 titles fall somewhere in the 10-20gb range.

So I don't see how size is going to deter anyone who wants to get a game for free, especially when there are plenty of people downloading full bluray rips of 50gb movies.
