The only reason the PS3 can't play pirated games yet is because not enough people have a blu-ray burner and the blank media still costs too much. As soon as those come down in prices and becomes more mainstream, it will be hacked...just like everything else.

thats not really it... if you think a little... Ps3 has a Hdd... most of multiplat games are not bigger than 7GB... so if it could run the software you could download it from internet and run it from the Hdd... the problem is that no one ever gain access to the 7th SPU  where Ps3 OS runs and without it, none is going anywhere...

my ps2 didn't have a modchip and i could launch games from a 3.5" HDD in the back (all discs had to be original to be able to copy them(since it was not chiped) to the HDD, only use this to not have to swap discs between games)... its definitely not about blank media.

I don't think many games are under 10GB on PS3. Even the multiplat ones. They may put lossless audio or not compress the videos. But it is true that if you have several hundreds of gigs. You could install the game on HDD which makes the point about blank media useless. Maybe the reason why Sony has not yet released a feature that allows full HDD installs for games is because it might just open the way for piracy. That said, I still think we'll be able to play backups in a year or 2. When there is a will, there is a way.

I don't mind when people hack things, it's when they exploit it.

He has zero social life imo. Probably sits in his mothers basement all day.

Aren't you a confessed pirate?

Edit: Found a link

It's okay to steal PC games, just not PS3 games.

That's right, PC games are fine. PS3 games aren't

Aren't you the anal bunch of the group? I'm not the one who hacks in the first place, I just download

Nice try!

I just pointed out you are analogous to a killer in the part you play in piracy.... You don't hack, you download.  Just as communist leaders, big name terrorists only govern or sell weapons, while lower down people do the killing.  They provide the ability, you take the action.  Which is worse?  Well without you there would be no action, sooo.....

i read it and it fucking sickens me >_>

why?

because the guy exploits his hack and will allow his mind to be used to basically steal >_>....i get that he wants to hack stuff just to prove that he did it and for a hobbie, but really? release how you did it? and then hope for software piracy, that makes me sick...piracy ruined pc gaming it ruined handheld gaming for the psp....eventually it will get to console gaming in a huge way and ill be there blaming people like him

Bottom line is I would never pirate a console game anyways, so this conversation is pointless. We're talking about two different platforms.
