Blu-Ray' s security features beaten, PS3 piracy begins...

...all because of Linux.

LOL,, damn.. It took them longer to crack the PSP' s firmware (1.5 and up)..

They certainly don' t waste any time, do they?

And JUSTICE prevails!

This' ll surely help sell the system

NiGHTS into Dreamcast

Though not the already poor games sales

yeah, and bad game sales equals a dead sony!

and a dead sony equals a happier world

Wow...amazing...that was really quick.

This is the kind of thing that I knew would happen if Sony didn' t implement Linux properly. Which is quite a shame as Linux is relatively easy to lock down hard.

Looks like Sony was more interested in Tax evasion. Well, now they have an even more expensive problem on their hands.

Oh well, sucks for Sony, good for Pirates I guess.

Hurrah! Us pirates win again!

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Not like there' s much PS3 games out there that pirates would find worth pirating at all Resistance, Motorstorm...and...Genji?

Whoopie...as if the people who BOUGHT a $600/$900 PS3 would really balk at paying $70 for the few games they actually want!

That' s really sad, seems like we will not get homebrew then.
I guess the ´Guest OS´ option will disepear, and it won' t be a open platform for long.
Fucking pirates just wanna ruin the fun for everyone. :-/

Guess sony ain' t gonna get there 20+ games per console any time soon.

these are very very bad news for sony

70 usd games byakko???

Though not the already poor games sales

Can' t hurt ' em at the moment can it?

It' s not that shocking. This is only slightly quicker than what it takes most consoles to get worked around & backdoored. You' ve also got to remember that the only people that can pirate these games are people with BD-R drives on their PCs. Which are of course, de-facto standard right now. I wouldn' t worry about it for the time being.

They could dump the games in the ps3s hard drive and run it from there right?

they already starting to flash 360 firmwares in morocco and now i' m really considering buying ( that if Magik doesn' t send me his console lol), but i' ll wait for awhile tough, i' ll see how things unfold and how ps3 is doing (regardless of piracy), if ps3 doesn' t convince me (it doesn' t so far) , i' ll go 360 i' ll the way and be onboard with next gen like many of you guys cheeeeeers !!

They' d need a PS3 ISO loader, which isn' t available yet. Also, according to the link above, you can replace the standard PS3 hard drive with a higher capacity 2.5 inch internal drive OR you can use an external 2.5 or 3.5 drive as long as it' s SATA.

One guy said he' s installed a 750 gig! Nice! If only that were possible with the 360. Especially with all this downloadable content now.

I' d settle for being able to use external usb harddrives. Microsoft needs to do something and releasing a larger drive just won' t be enough.

That one' s hit or miss. Flashing BIOS ofc can get you banned from XBL, & I' ve seen it happen twice now. I would just wait for EBAY myself.

Especially at the markup they price most of their 360 hardware at.

well i gues that' s the trade of, big trade off indeed but playing games for almost free is ... FANTASTIC. or i might just wait until i can install a chip that is undetectable by microsoft (it exist but not in my country)
