Well, if it is working, Sony nearly managed to last 4 years, which is a pretty awesome record which nobody would have expected. Now Sony just have to make sure they start detecting a few of the idiots that start using this online so that it doesn't turn out like the PSP.
As for the device, I'm probably not going to get it. There's no way I'm risking getting my console banned, having bought Playstation Plus and so on. They could theoretically start building checks into games too, which means you can't earn trophies on your main account. It's a pity as I'd really love to have games like LBP playable at any time without having to switch the disc in (and I know I could just buy the online version, but I hate buying the same game twice).

I, for one, would be willing to give up my USB ports just knowing PS3 software would be safe from wicked pirates.
What I'm saying is, if you care about USB ports, you're 100% a pirate, so why should Sony care about you?

Hoping it's fake, I don't want to go through a bazillion firmware revisions as sony combats potential pirates as well as jump through new hoops to play games as I always do.
(I always fear the worst, Sony's going to make us play games with a needle stuck in our arm while the ps3 does genetic checks on us else it wont run)

Better edit that out before some Sony exec sees that and mentions it at their next board meeting.
Seriously though, piracy leads to DRM, which will lead to more piracy, and then more DRM, which leads to even more piracy. People should know by now that piracy has and always will win. It should be abundantly clear that DRM isn't a viable deterrent. Legal action won't do shit either, since anything that could potentially work, would breach one's privacy as well as all sorts of laws and constitutional amendment(s).
I'm not defending or encouraging piracy, but think about it. What's worse?
- Some college student downloading a game for personal use
- Some guy downloading a game, burns hundreds of copies to discs, and sells them out of the trunk of his car.
Borrowing a game from a friend for a week, playing it, and then returning it to said friend, is no different than pirating a game, playing it for a week, and then deleting it once you complete it. Both methods involve you playing the game for free. The developer/ publisher didn't make any money from you playing that game. No sale occurred. Hmmm...
Don't get me started on second hand games vs piracy. Again, not saying you should pirate shit. All I'm saying is that people are quick to blow it out of proportion and declare piracy as the most despicable act mankind has ever committed.
Yeah ... as expected, it's just a disk dump utility running in service mode.tass0 said:<@Mathieulh> well i got the package running
<@Mathieulh> and it does copy games
<iLLNESS> he has it running on a dev unit
<@Mathieulh> but it does not run the backups xD
<Malk1th> lol
<@Mathieulh> at least not here
Still, Sony probably WILL disable USB ports over this. :lol

Or only enable them with a paid DLC 100kb unlockable! And then access will be restricted to only certain types of data transfers.Rhindle said:

If Mathieulh from that chat above confirmed it to be fake (to only copy but not run backups) then it's fake. That guy is supposed to be legit. This kind of scam was sold before as well, simply using some linux tool to make disc dumps

just the fact that someone sent samples to several shops like ozmods and foundmy and it does ... something ... is scary.
