Forums - Sony - World's first mod chip for PS3?

kibebr on 05 October 2009

I think Texas selling rate would be a lot more if a modded PS3 appears. :)



PSN: franco-br
MGS4, GH, MW2, GT5p, WipeoutHD, etc..etc..

$300 PS3 to throw away by trying to mod it by spending $100 or something. No way man.

And I will say this again, console chipping/flashing is TOTALLY legal in the UK, playing pirated games is illegal and I do NOT condone it.

Soooo, what are the legal uses of a chipped/flashed console?

I'm not quite sure how someone can be a major fan of a particular console and then use the means by which hard working game developers can be cheated out of getting paid for making games for their favourite console.

I didn't make the laws!

If there is a demand for flashed/chipped consoles then I will help supply that demand seeing as it is legal to do so, I just flash/chip the console, It is not down to me what the people do with them but I do state that they must own the game if they wish to play backups as that is also totally legal as long as you own the original and don't want it to get damaged (the 360 is known to damage discs).

Look on xbox scene, people do have them flashed for totally legal reasons, xbox scene is legal in every way.

 

And for the record, just because someone has a flashed or chipped console doesn't mean they aren't a fan of that console lol, I'm a huge 360 fan, I buy many retail games, arcade games, DLC, pay for xbox live etc, I spend more than most on my 360 gaming.

I've got Forza 3 and Modern Warefare 2 on pre-order, I recently bought DiRT 2 and ODST, I buy loooads of games!

But why u buy them if u can DL them?

People still have to buy blu ray discs and burn them on their ass-expensive blu ray drive.

Don't know if this will be a reliable method to piracy PS3.

There are always a few games I buy as I like to support the developers of games that deserve it, Forza 3 and MW 2 will be worth every single penny and is why I pre-ordered them.

Pirates don't just pirate. 95% are shown to download to see if it's good, or because they don't have the money. If the game is worth it, pirates buy it, to support the studio. It's always been like this, I myself buy games a year after they come out, even if I downloaded and beat it before it came out.
