SCURVY DOGS

Doesn't sound like it'll make a huge difference if it only works on the older PS3 models and is then hard and expensive to do.

I really doubt that cap'n....those scum dogs didnt get it right yeity!!!And problably never will, and if they do..Sony gonna spank them in the booty!!!

you need. a very old PS3 model. one which is very rare and much better than current models.
a copy of Windows Xp. an OS which will never see on a store shelf and which nobody will probably ever be selling. i doubt you'll even find a torrent for that.
a copy of motorstorm. an old game which you will have to hunt down.
and alot of piracy stuff more to go along with that.
OH dont forget. you need a blu-ray burner and equipment.
i HAVE all this stuff. except for the piracy equipment. but i would rather keep my PS2 compatible Launch Unit with me.
this will NOT spread. and it wont bring rise to much more.

Not to worry Sony.

They said the user needs a old ps3 model, so where to get one?
A user will have to shell out more money just to buy a old model and shell out more money just to mod it.

Personally, I wish they did it a long time ago... Just to knock those snotty PS3 fanboys off their silver chair!!!

Don't worry Sony this ain't gonna work the costs for piracy on the PS3 is just too high and we are good with original stuff every body can play online with no probs instead on lol live damn full of piracy and rodd damn lol...

I have an old console still going strong good old 60 gb got it when it was realesed! Which means I could get one of those chips. But I don't see the point it's stealing and ruining buisness for the games industry and we all love games :D It's only those xbox people that hack games because they are too poor to buy a game, thats why they have £140 xbox :D

So they need a console that will inevitably suffer the YLOD, an old game and some soft/hardware. If anyone wants to buy my D.O.R 60Gb and Motorstorm for a fair price, I'll sell! LOL

Take your fanboy sh*t elsewhere. Goodbye.

Just because I have more friends than you I can smell you are a loser from here

well we all seem to be agreed that there's little point in pirating the software as above, but i'm sure it'll be done eventually. still, i quite rarely buy games anyway so i don't see the point in potentially ruining my fat old PS3 for the sake of a couple of games. with that in mind however, i still don't know how i'm gonna afford all these Q1 releases!

About time. Anyone in australia paying $120 for a ps3 game is crazy. So many games out there that people want to play but can't buy them all so they are missing out on awesome titles. Waiting for The price to go down is gonna be 2 years and that's gonna set you back 50. I have a 360 which I only bought so I can "back up" games. I'm not missing out on titles, have not been banned online and spend like 10 bucks for a game. It's really worth it. I don't have the money to buy and play all the games I want. PS3 gamers are missing out.

Let's face it... piracy makes consoles popular! It leads to bigger numbers because of high demand raised from being able to play any game you want. This is true with the PS2, Wii and both Xboxes.

Not so true on the PSP for some reason (although it was hacked to bits), but I still think that a hacked PS3 will cause console sales to spike... maybe not game sales, but definitely console sales!

BTT, I have everything needed except for a BluRay burner, but I ain't doing that to my baby!

Wow - You can tell the schools are shut today!!!

Never seen so many children in the comments section.

Cool! I have an old, fat, launch day PS3. One of those that "will inevitably suffer the YLOD"... Inevitably. Gosh. I have it running 1 or 2 hours a day, for 2 (3?) years straight... and it never even crashed.

But I suspect you're right. "Inevitably" it will burn. I doubt it will work in 2040 (though my PS1 still works. And my ZX Spectrum, 30 years later).

Still, great news. I don't care about piracy. I care about selling my old and fat PS3 for a $hitload of money!!!

"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck"?
Gotta love pirates.

Piracy has always been a major factor in the success of sony's hardware.
Lets hope this is true; for sony's sake.

but don't they make more money off software than off hardware? i thought that was how they justified selling the units at a loss. so despite a spike in hardware wouldn't that just be counter productive, selling hardware at a loss only not to make money on software.
i suppose when the hardware becomes profitable then maybe, but it's gonna be ages before Sony make back everything they have lost so far on the PS3, and i believe that despite the price drop they're still lossin money on the actuall hardware. i'm sure the lack of piracy is attractive to devs as well. either way, they haven't craked it yet. the process outlined above is ludicrous, although i'm sure it's an inevitablity.

Now thats some good news.

PS3's hardware is too advanced for theese idiot pirates to hack into. Xbox 360 was built with last - gen technology, which is why pirates have a field day with it. A 3 year - old could hack the 360's insides. PS3 hasn't been hacked yet and probably never will be.

Wow all of u are idiots.. if u ever went into the games industry of any part Hackers wud beur worst enemy.. They Get ur game for free when like 1-5 million dollors and alot of time has been spent to make that game.. and u just get it for free thinking ur better than the developers.. its like u opening a shop then instead of selling people just steal from u instead.. anybody who hacks stuff is just unfaithful and is ruining the games industry as we know it

Harry, please learn to speak english

Windows XP? This "hack" sounds a bit fishy to me. It says that you need a PS3 that is capable of installing a third party OS and that you need Windows XP. Windows XP is made for the x86/x86_64 CPU architectures, not PPC. Windows XP cannot be natively run on the PS3 without the use of a PPC OS like Linux and an emulator like QEMU. Doing this has nothing to do with hacking, so I have no idea why this would be a requirement.

Read the thread (11 pages), it's clearly a fake and the PS3 has not been hacked at all.

It's rather funny watching the dumb media make themselves look idiots over it thou...

"a copy of Windows Xp. an OS which will never see on a store shelf and which nobody will probably ever be selling. i doubt you'll even find a torrent for that."

Yeah. It'd be real tough. For sure.

Sounds like a long way round its done by using windows XP on the PS3 and networking devices from that really is rubbish.

Iit will be thoroughly looked into by SONY.

SONY give nothing away for free...

Try upgrading your HDD and then re downloading MOVIES youve already paid for you will have to pay twice...

Well, finally sony have failed.
now every one should get an XBOX

This is totally in keeping with Sony's typical tactics. They routinely make promises, and don't keep them; offer some really neat feature, then when everyone in Japan has it, pulls the feature from the market. They are also notorious for putting out versions of games only for the Japanese market (remember Ultima?). After paying so much for my PS3, and being disappointed in the range of games available, lack of updating favorite older games (why exactly can/will Sony not rework the graphics and animations for Final Fantasy 7, my all time favorite game from Squaresoft)... etc, etc, etc...
I will never buy another Sony Playstation console. In fact, I may just refrain from buying any new console. I have a total of five games for the PS3, which cost me nearly half what the console cost. I think the games are mostly over rated and too expensive.

Of course, this is just my opinion; I could be wrong.
