All I can say is I pray and wait for the time to mod the PS3 ala xbox 360 for games. Ill download the shit out of a few games I want and burn them with a BD burner. Don't think I won't. Especially considering I downloaded a 66GB pron file in like a day at the most :)

Personally, I think an iso loader is the best we will get (well, what we now have). The security is so good on the PS3/Bluray that I dont think we will ever see hard backups of PS3 titles. TBH, with the cost of BD burners, BD blanks and the time it would take to download a 1 on 1 PS3 rip, you would be better off buying the game 2nd hand :D

Heres another new vid about the PSjailbreak: http://www.maxconsole.net/content.php?41858-Another-great-video-of-the-PSJailbreak-in-action

because everything they can come up with in hardwarefor anti piracy, can be emulated and beaten in software.

but if it was emulated then it will consume CPU cycle, and for casual gamer where they just have dual core it won't make sense and it will be suck playing with that

its not emulating the whole console, just limited amounts of the security.

for example, the 360 has a unique serial in the DVD drive - all the software would need to do is run a virtual drive, and emulate the physical one to make the console think the data was coming from the real drive.

Um the Lite-ON DH-401S Blueray drive can read PS3 disc. Which means you can rip the disc. Not that the PS3 will play the rip well that is untill now.

That's what they get for trying to charge that much for the device. If they would've charged like $40, they probably wouldn't have had to worry about it, as people are willing to spend a few dollars for peace of mind. People generally aren't willing to pay over $100 for peace of mind on a simple USB device tho.

I'll hold out a couple weeks until the free stuff launches. lol.

I also can't wait for homebrew. This is gonna be awesome. lol.

Yeah, I think $60 tops. Do you think a software only route will happen as its not a standard USB pendrive is it.

I cant wait to get hold of one lol

O I see a standard USB pendrive coming now that they know how to hack it. It's going to be a fun homebrew PSP-PS3 time for a while to come I'm guessing.

But an hardware hack is a bit different from a software one isnt it. Surely the PS Jailbreak has something in it that cant be emulated through software.....then again, anything is possible I suppose.

It is hardware, but it did point out an exploit. Only a matter of time before we can do it without the chip.

Im going to bet Sony squashes this thing before it becomes an issue, which is a good thing. Of all the people who would've used it 1% would've come up with some nice homebrew apps and the other 99% would pirate games (like a few of you have already mentioned you would be willing to do- thieves). In the event they don't prevent it, bans and bricks galore is also acceptable.

Saying you want to 'backup the games you own' has got to be the biggest crock of shit I have ever heard- esp for PS3 users. Have you seen the amount of abuse a BD disc can take? With the anti scratch coating they put on those discs they will last. You take proper care of them and its likely they will outlive the console itself.

If Sony were to add a feature to save games to the HDD like the X360 has, what's the next excuse? To be honest, saving a game to the HDD on the X360 was less than impressive when I was using it anyway.

I would back up my 15 originals to an external HDD to save wear and tear on the crappy Bluray laser in the PS3.

I seriously just want homebrew and cfw features. There aren't enough PS3 titles that I would want to pirate to bother with it. I want them to use this to find a way for me to keep my linux support (I still haven't updated), still play the newest games, and have native playback of my mkvs with styled subs and flac and flac files themselves.

I hope it leads to that.

but if they can make TPM chip use strong encryption than it will hard to emulate it, and make the key always change, so the user will need hard mod to bypass it, and make casual gamer think twice to pirate

let me put it this way:

if a game costs $100 each (like they do here in Au), a pirate may well decide spending $500 for unlimited free games is worth it.

there will ALWAYS be pirates, and everything will be cracked - the motivation is simply too strong to not do it.

(now if the games cost <$50 Au, that'd change things...)
