Yeah pirating games would be a figgin hassle, but homebrew would be awesome.

probably means free PSN games though... as with this cracked you could in theory transfer game keys..

I don't know, vhero, they've managed to dump even the NAND of a 360, but so far the only thing they've been able to reliably hack are the DVD-Rom drives in the console itself. It's still impossible to pirate DLC on the 360 and assuming Sony's security is at a similar level, I would expect the PS3 to be the same.

A lot of the people commenting on the Ps3 such as Kushan and others don't want the Ps3 cracked because of the pirating of the games... their main objective is to be able to say " I told you the Ps3 is hackable and it's garbage" Every one of these guys have negative comments toward the ps3 check em out.

Your name could not be more true...lets look at your comments. Ready? Here we go..

"Just face it noone wants the PS3 cracked...and look at the retards in the comment box on the site who are begging for the PS3 to be cracked so they run they're crappy pirated games and homebrew on it. Pathetic..."

Sooooooooooo...you say "noone wants the ps3 cracked", but then turn around and give a shout out to the "retards" who are "begging for the ps3 to be cracked". Inconsistent?

Hey PAPERCHASER0396, did you read the comment I posted directly above yours? You know, the one where I was completely impartial to both systems?

This isn't exactly new stuff you can pull the PS3 HD out put it onto a Linux distro and you can read the file system.

The PS3 uses Linux for it's file system handling.

As for pirating the games sure looking at the file system is 1 thing.

You also need to have some sort of boot loader or boot up burnt blu-ray disk thing happening as well.

A lot of the older games are around 10-15gig and heavenly sword PS3 only games are around 25+ gig in size.

It takes ages because only 2-3 people are ever really interested in downloading something that size, and if it's from a private tracker you'll need to upload that amount before you could do anything else, which is damn hard if no one isn't interested in downloading it after you or you have 2-3 people fighting to upload to 1 person downloading the file.

Currently the burnt games don't work on DVD, and I don't think Blu-Ray brunt games work either as I've never seen anyone say that it works.

Overall pure PS3 games are pointless to copy and multi plat games are smaller than pure PS3 games by heaps of gigs but they also don't work either.

really this isn't a hack at all.

I would love to see some homebrew love on PS3. PSP homebrews are siply amazing, it's a shame that piracy is dealing a heavy blow to it though.
In-game screencapture for all games, custom soundtracks, emulators and other great stuff would be at a tip of a hand.

I apologize your name should be retracted from my statement

Do u know what a hacker really is... ? from ur statement u have not clue, So far a tech is in their reach (ps3 xbox360 ) its a test to them and they would crack it no matter how hard it is they will just give it time and u would see what wil happen .. anything is possible.. so dont sit in dream land thinking its not ..

It's "no one" not "noone" unless you're talking about Peter Noone

What will an iso loader achieve ?? You will have to download the 50gb game which would take ages...And then you need a storage device that can hold 50gb...Which are'nt cheap. Its just a big unessecary hassle.

And I know for a fact that alot of peoples internet in the UK are capped to 40gb a month..even on 8mb and 16gb tarrifs, and if you go over that limit you can be fined and blocked until the end of the month and then have your speed reduced. So even if iso loaders do become reality it will be totally impossible for alot people.

It would work cheaper to buy the game...Most games if you wait a week or so come down to about £20 so whats the point in this. They are just wasting their time.

you seem to not understand that hacking the PS3 wont just lead to piracy
but also HOMEBREW

google psp homebrew if you dont know what im talking about

Who cares about homebrew. Why spend $400+ on a machine just to play crappy games and/or custom apps? Waste of time and if this were to happen, I hope Sony blocks all those PS3 from PSN and requires mandatory updates which will counteract the hack. The PS3 is great just the way it is, there is no need to hack. If you want to hack something then buy a crap box and leave the PS3 alone. OF all the time spent trying to hack the PS3, these idiot low-life hackers could have done something more productive like get into shape or work and make money. I have no respect for scumbag hackers and their dishonesty. F%*$ them!

You have to be one of those retards for the G4 forums. Go back there and act like a simple tard and let grown folks talk.

Sorry. That was to that Mindboggle kid.

call my name?

Just an example to how wrong you really are about the price of HDD's. You must think it's 1999 or something. Or you're trying to make your point seem very logical.

@Arnon,

Correct me if I'm wrong but those aren't 2.5" SATA drives that can be installed into the PS3. Who wants a chunky external hard drive attached to their PS3?

Browse it yourself. I never said that these are the ones to use. I simply stated that buying a HDD with 50GB is like going and buying a pack of batteries now.
