yeah I know but why does there exist a version that is only 22GB and says no 3D ?

Wouldn't make much sense if someone took it out for no reason. Could be that 3D video files were taken out, thus making the 3D mode unplayable. Something like that.

It was confirmed somewhere else that a shop was selling it early. No "magic" involved.

Well, I know I would rather play something else than hack a system, download 41 GB of data sitting through 2-4 days(depending on your connection it can be less) without doing anything on the internet all the while; and if the power goes off(if you are in such a region) then you are screwed.

If it still works, after like 2 days you get 41 GB of data which you then have to put it in a Blu-ray or an external drive, and then put it in your PS3.

I have no problem if a person works this hard just to pirate; he would have earned about $60 with this much work anyway.

Oh, and did I mention you won't be able to play online? lololololol.

For 12 hours of entertainment people will throw away their bandwidth limit, their time, their PS3's online functionality. Oh the sacrifices to save $60. Which would be like $40 if they waited a couple of months and $20 if waited a year.

There are actually a lot of false things in this reply.

First off there is a 22GB version. Even with a moderate internet connection (I consider mine moderate) it should take around 8 hours at full speed (~800KB/s). Well you probably don't get such a speed on torrent networks, but torrents aren't everything.

If you want to, you can still easily browse the internet. Just set a download speed limit to idk 700KB/s in my case and you're good to go. I also don't quite get what happens when the power goes off. Nothing will happen, it's not a single file you download so you don't need to start all over again.

Hacking the PS3 should take like 15 minutes. It's just a firmware "update" after all. Download, put it on a flash drive, install. Finished.

Copying 22GB to the PS3 however should take some time. Probably an hour or slightly more.

It is possible again to go online with CFW. They found a way around it.

About bandwidth limits. I know they're still quite common in America, but I'm not even sure if they still exist in Europe.

@twesterm

I just looked it up and I was right. They removed the 3D videos.

"This is a RIP, 3D videos have been removed
Censored movies have been removed too.
Some languages (German?) may require them.
We recommend playing in another language
if something wrong happens."

I can assure you not everyone has a 800 KB/s internet. It depends upon the region, piracy is a lot more common in not so developed regions than America.

If you have a 800 KB/s speed then, this obviously wouldn't apply.

How did they find a way around it? I thought you couldn't go online with the CFW?

That's why I called it moderate speed

my brother who lives only a few houses apart can download stuff @ 3.5MB/s.

I think a week ago there was a very simple way to go online until Sony closed that leak. I'm not going to post a tutorial (which is probably not that hard to find anyway) but just this short description:

1. DNS server trick: Set Primary DNS to 67.202.81.137 under Network Settings
2. Simple SSL proxy that basically modifies the headers for outgoing packets to auth.np.ac.playstation.net’s to change “PS3 03.55″ to “PS3 03.56″ — this makes PSN believe the PS3 is using the proper firmware version

Doesn't sound too difficult, but I've seen one of the tutorials and it's not that easy to get it right.

If you download via torrent you can lose connection and resume at any point in your downloads.

Copying 41G to an external USB2 HDD doesn't take long.

I can download and browse the internet fine, perhaps you don't understand how to limit your upload and download speed in your torrent client.  The point is, this really isn't hard for anyone to do if they really wanted to.

Well, I hope they patch that sh*t up!

And I can only dream of 3.5 MB/s. I think its available here; but damn its too expensive. If I could afford it I would have like a console every month lol.

800 KB is hardly moderate though...

Oh well...I am sure it still wouldn't harm KZ3 sales (lol), but I hope there are no hackers, and if there are, I hope guerilla gets them.

Hmm, I forgot about the torrents. I see. Its still a lot of hassle for a person to await that long to download 41 GB even on the torrents. Don't torrents work P2P? So the speed depends upon the no. of people downloading the thing at a particular time?

I am not sure though.

Probably not. Ask me again when Uncharted 3 comes out and the answer might differ.
