That's already happening! Tales of Vesperia for PS3 is getting a fan translation!

:D

Now we just need Tales of Graces F!

I can't (not) complain. And yeah, hacking is only good when there's room for benefit or somebody tries to extract benefit - but the PS3 has neither. Linux on the PS3 was infinitely slow and the homebrew... let's say... "rudimentary". There isn't a lot of games that you can patch, either, and nobody will be interested since Japanese imports are goddamn expensive.

Media playback is incredible on the PS3 Media Center. No less. B/C? Get a PS2. That's what I say about all B/C cases.

How aren't B/C and fan translations a good thing? There isn't a lot of homebrew ~2 months after release of homebrew? PS3 didn't have that great of a lineup two months after release either... You have to give people time to make the good stuff.

Japanese imports are expensive? I've imported a couple games from playasia because it was actually cheaper then buying them off of PSN...

PS3 media center? Is that the thing where you have to have it plugged into a router with a computer and have software on it...?

And no thanks, my family has paid for 4 PS2s, but lets not get into that now ;)

Ports of stuff the the PC does infinitely better. Emulators of stuff on consoles suck, tried it myself.

A second ago they didn't have people working on homebrew. Now it doesn't count because the PC does it better? :p

And again... it's been ~2 months

None, because nothing is popular aside from signing some malicious code. People don't exactly buy their PS3's for SNES/Gen games, it's simply a nice addition for 1% of the buyers.

And 4 PS2's? Your bad luck :P

Also some games on Play-Asia =/= all
