They only way the use of an external USB drive could be detected (not for the purpose of booting, but for the purpose of activating debug mode) would be with a firmware update, presumably the forthcoming 3.42. It's a given that the update will detect the presence of debug mode on any PS3 connected to a network, PSN or just the internet (PS3 connects automatically by default unless WiFi is disabled/ethernet unplugged), which will likely result in a PSN/console ban similar to what MS does with XBL. So basically if you want to juggle between keeping debug mode active (and being able to play games off internal HDD) and connecting to a network, you'd have to uninstall debug mode and unplug the device every time you connect to any sort of internet based network to avoid detection. This is not to say that any future firmware couldn't also detect the presence of game images on internal HDD, resulting in the same console ban as the presence of debug mode. So... you'd have to erase any game images as well in this hypothetical situation before connecting to a network to avoid detection. In short, you're better off just buying a second PS3, used or whatever, specifically for offline use. Same boat as those who consider the use of Linux to be so essential that they're still using firmware 3.15 offline. Future games will likely require the installation of firmware post-dating 3.41, meaning, they will not be compatible with debug mode until the makers of debug key makers update key firmware to match.

Not only that but the PS3 keeps track of what you played or have played in the past..think about that for a sec...the PS3 it's self keep's track of what you have played or are playing!
