Spanish PS3 developers at DemonHades have shared some details and pics of a PS3 Blu-ray drive successfully connected and recognized as a reader in a PC.
Take-Two announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2025, also sharing an update on the sales of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
The anticipation for GTA6 has reached fever pitch, with the latest trailer being the biggest video launch of all time.
Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.
To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not
GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.
No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.
I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.
Pure Arts Reveals Borderlands Collectible that fans should l8ve.
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
I could let PS3 share its BD drive out to the PC without having to tear our the drive from the PS3.
Interesting development this.
If they could manage to dump the PS3 drives firmware and do similar development on the firmware reading backups as the hackers did with the 360 DVD drive firmware, then it would be a huge step for the hacking community.
But then again, the BluRay drive firmware and chipset is totally different to DVD drives, thus it remains to be seen if, how and when this can be realized. But then again, its easier probably than a full softmod solution for the PS3. BluRay discs have become pretty cheap over time and BluRay burners also aren't as expensive as they used to, so interest will rise for being able to play backups on the PS3 I guess. The days that BluRay discs were 20, 30 or 40 bucks it wasn't logical at all to burn instead of buy originals.
Hopefully this is as far as it'll go, I just wish hackers would piss off and stay away from the PS3, they're ruining it for the rest of us.
RIP Linux.
