First of all before talking about mod chips and such,I'm going to talk about Blu-Ray. THe blu-ray I believe now goes up to 50gb and possibly more. Most games won't go that large, but anythng over 10gb is too much for the average download speed. Then how many people have blu-ray burners? Not too many. They would either have to put their pirated games on dvds or a hdd(they bet have a terrabyte or ten of them ready) but is a dvd possible for games not meant to be on multiple discs? I would hate to be someone downloading 50GBs especially using torrents, and this might not be the limit. The blu-ray disc will get bigger and so will games. I think there is one ps3 mod chip out compared to the tons the 360 and wii have. So did sony dodge piracy this gen on the ps3? or will the pirates catch up with them?

Though, to point out, the BD drive in PS3 only reads to 2 layers, so that's 50gb max. Subsequent versions could read discs with more layers, but games will not come out with more than 2 layers.

I'm pretty sure if movies or games get "cracked" the standard can be changed and firmware updated to lock it the PS3 down again. Not sur, though.

I still say Sony should brick all modded PSPs just before a new model with more features comes out. Force some repurchases.

If they did that the backlash Sony would get would be ENORMOUS and they would likely have to pull a publicity stunt to "make things right" despite the fact that it would mostly effect people who are pirating.
