lol at Sony having everything on their system pirated within 2 weeks of the system being released.

MASSIVE HARD DRIVE FOR REAL TIME GAME DOWNLOADING!

I would think having a media center application that wasn't restricted to gay wmvs only AND could run shit like MAME, Snes9x, etc. would be far more appealing than jumping to the conclusion that people will have some sort of crazy iso loader ready to go before it even has time to saturate the market

But I guess you dudes have to find something wrong with it huh


vvv that's assuming this crackpot scheme of loading ps3 isos via linux would work at all, considering they're still running the alt. OS in a virtualization layer... I'd say that before any hardcore piracy happens on the system two things will have to happen:

1) bluray burners and media will get to the point where they're affordable by citizen joe, and
2) someone comes up with some sort of hardware mod chip & hacked up XMB OS to get around retail disc recognition cause I somehow doubt it'll be as easy as flashing the drives firmware

The sooner I Can pirate on a system the sooner I'm tempted to buy it, so I can pirate shitty games and decide I hate them, and spend any money on games I actually desire. If I pirate a game, I wasn't going to buy it anyways.

It's only more incentive to buy the system eventually.

I never said that made the system worse, it actually would make the system more appealing to me if I didn't already have my Xbox that can run all sorts of software. It's definitely one of the steps in the right direction Sony has taken, but in conjunction with the 50 steps backwards, it doesn't make me want to run out and buy the system.

That's the thing though, I have no doubt that all of the brilliant minds in the hacking/piracy world will be able to figure out a way to load PS3 iso's from a specially formatted drive put into the system. I very well could be wrong, and it make take years, but I doubt it.

Lamest logic ever. Just because you wouldn't have bought something, doesn't mean you're entitled to it. If it did, we'd all be excused for stealing Ferraris. We weren't going to buy them anyway (except for morphix maybe).

lol at Compass starting a piracy argument on a board full of pirates.

Or flash the system bios, which then pirates will make the PS3 boot anything they want it too.

As far as bluray blanks and drives being needed, I really doubt there will be any games for a while that wouldn't fit on a DVD-R or at least a DVD-DL, as movies can be downsampled, or outright ripped.

Dont forget, the Dreamcast has discs that were 1GB, all the pirates did was shrink the FMV, the music, or outright cut stuff that wasnt needed for gameplay.

Nah, I just can't let that reasoning slide. If you want to steal, fine, steal, but stop trying to justify it.

That's a misnomer. It's not stealing.

[Josh]

I steal everything I can. I feel great about it. Fuck the haters.

I came across a PS3 kiosk at Target today. Some kid was playing Motorstorm on it. It looked pretty nice, but nothing that the 360 couldn't handle, and especially nothing like those E3 videos.
