No it wasnt that easy. You needed a modchip, which for many was a big deal. This way a small software mod will be more then enough to pirate games
Well see you all in 2011. Im off. in a litle over 3 hours its midnight here Have funn |
it wasn't easy? think about it this way. i'm in the philippines, and back then at the ps2 launch you couldn't find a single original game around here in any store (aside from one big chain sponsored by the game publishers). everything was pirated. boatloads of cds just all over the store shelves. if you played original ps2 games, people would laugh at you.
now this country is a developing country, meaning our tech over here isn't as high as western countries. are you saying that americans had a 'hard time' pirating the ps2, when filipinos had 100% piracy on their ps2?
ps2 piracy was sooooo easy. lets not delude ourselves into thinking that ps3 piracy is something special. it was inevitable and it's not going to change anything. in fact, it's probably going to increase sales because a lot of people don't buy the console because there aren't any pirated games. now that piracy is possible, those people will be more interested in buying one. the ones who bought original games in the first place are already fans of original games, since they've been buying and playing them for 4 years. think about it.
