iPhone hacker publishes secret Sony PlayStation 3 key

The PlayStation 3's security has been broken by hackers, potentially allowing anyone to run any software - including pirated games - on the console

[Pedantic91]

Hackers sure are lousy liars.

[GWAVE]

Wii and 360 have already been hacked to play pirated games, but I think we're still a ways off until PS3 pirated ISOs are commonplace. Imagine downloading 15-20 Gigs for a single compressed ISO file.

[Matthew94]

so what?? on steam 15GB games are commonplace, i downloaded about 70GB a few days ago

[pswi60]

I guarantee that within a month, there will be a CFW that will allow games to be ripped/played from the HD.

Maybe even sooner....

I'm not saying I condone/want this, I am just saying that since a CFW has already been released, some youngblood hacker will just take whats already been done and patch it to run games.

[rockleex]

Funny how he retired from hacking after failing time after time with the PS3.

But now that someone else has done it, he wants to jump back on and gain recognition for other people's work.

[ChristianGamer]

Imagine renting or borrowing a game, copying on to your hard drive and returning it. Imagine games like LBP that even though they're on Blu Ray are only 6.8gb and imagine there are hundreds of other games like that. Imagine...or make.believe if you prefer

[Arup02]

15-20GB isn't too much when you see the games on Steam, so...

[dragonelite]

Lol thinking that 15 to 20 gig is hard to download come on. Bluray burners are kinda cheap now and disk cost what $5 that was like 3 years ago. There are a lot of people that can download or rather buy the game for $8 instead of $60. Heck i can download 30 gig in one night when im sleeping. If not i just ask a friend that puts its on a usb stick and i copy paste that shit.

But yeah i dont pirate games really much anymore except movie and music i still think music artist should earn their money with live shows cd and other media should be commercial for them. If a artist is good then he will have a lot of people visiting him at live concerts.

[JhawkFootball06]

Downloading 20 gig is no problem for me having 25mb download, so around 2.8mbps transfer speed. I can download 20 gb in 2 hours.. Yes it sucks for people who have slower connections but they can just instead go rent the game, copy it to hard drive. Then they have the game forever..

[bananlol]

Jep, he did exactly what the germans didnt want, he put the key online. I think we should praise the failowerflow guys for the homebrew and blame geohot for the piracy. After all the reason fof didnt release the keys right away was because they wanted to limit piracy.

[I_find_it_funny]

WHY WAS IT UPDATED FROM 18 HOURS OLD TO 3 MINUTES OLD ?

someone's promoting piracy here

[ReBurn]

The fallacy that many fall into is that pirates always download games. It may not matter how big games are because there are other ways to get them besides download.

If someone manages to create good utilities to rip PS3 games to and load PS3 games from an external HDD then they can rent or borrow games to get cheaper or free copies.

It's not always about free. Cheaper is enough sometimes. And being able to get a terabyte of external HDD storage for the cost of a single game will be cost justification for some who don't mind pirating.

[NewMonday]

Question to those hear who play pirated games, did you rent before or buy used? Or do you buy new?

[killcycle]

I agree but most ps3 games don't take up that much space.
We've seen from the Playstation store that Infamous, Little big planet, Motorstorm and other exclusives are under 8gb.

I think the Killzone, Metal gear and Uncharted franchise would be a nightmare to download though.

[Abash]

I know, biggest load of BS ever. He knows full well of the ramifications of what he's doing, but does it anyway. Guilty.

[irepbtown]

So he publishes the key,
Now, who has video of any pirated games?

This could all be a lie. And if it isn't, i have a feeling Sony will hit the hackers back hard. Sony will probably be fixing the problem without making new hardware (Dont know how), and taking this guy to court.

This guy is scared. But what he has done is open the doors for piracy. And he still thinks he's innocent?

That's like me taking part in a Robbery, but one of my guys murders someone. I will go to jail for being part of the robbery and the murder.

Sony will most likely get this guy. He screwed himself up.

[Chris399]

But Mr Hotz was more cautious.

"I'm scared of being hit with a lawsuit," he admitted.

Worth noting:

However, according to pytey, it may not be so easy to fix the problem this time.

"The only way to fix this is to issue new hardware," he said. "Sony will have to accept this."

So, the issue can be fixed by Sony issuing new models of PS3s with new master keys in them (properly coded this time, one would think). So it's is a not a forward compatible hack as they will no doubt do this. Expect to see a new SKU really soon, for both PSP and PS3 (probably not even be hardware upgrade, just a new model #).

[vagina]

Not quite... see if they disable the key with new hardware any game released before that time would be unplayable, all content signed with the original key would be unplayable. Sony would be sued to the high heavens themselves if they that.

For instance say someone had a legit PS3 and legit games then thier PS3 gets a YLOD, Sony sends them a replacement new model, New model has the current master key blocked, said person can't play thier games anymore. That = Lawsuit.

[gamerz]

@toxic diarrhea
What they'll do is include an internal list (called a White List) of all the previous games that use the old key and the new SKU can run any games on the white list. That's what they did with the PSP3000, at least that's my understanding anyways.

[zag]

end users wouldn't be able to sue Sony as they own the hardware and can alter it as they see fit.

What your saying is someone rents a place and the owners come in a alter the house while their in it and then saying the renters can sue the owner doesn't work like that in real life.

what can happen though is Sony sueing the hacker group for being an enabler of piracy on the PS3, that's why they are trying to not allow pirated games work on the stuff they do.

where as GoeHot is a complete clutz and has released the key so now if anyone in the world signs a program that allows piracy on the PS3 under that key he can be sued for being an enabler of piracy on the PS3.

That's what the pirate bay got done for, yet they were too stupid to understand what was going on and didn't defend themselves against that.

Another way of doing piracy and this happens all the time is people playing music too loud this is called broadcasting and if you don't have a lic to broadcast that music well your doing piracy.

You can be sued for that, currently only stores have been sued for that stuff but could be applied to anyone really.

[xAlmostPro]

meh its still not as bad as its being made out to be.. and to be honest 4+ years is still a damn long time its taken to be "fully hacked"

i give sony alot of credit for making it last this long :]

[radzy]

but now some massive games will be hacked .

uncharted 3

gt5

killzone 3

little big planet 2

etc ............

[Silly gameAr]

Yeah man i can't wait to see how little that affects those games. Sh** will be epic.

[SLAYMANIO_ULTIMATE_1]

They are, they always say it's for other things but 99.99% of people will use for piracy.

[AndrewRyan]

Yohoho! A pirates life for me!

Don't give geohotz hits guys he doesn't deserve the recognition

[RBLAZE1988]

In the simplest of terms...This is pretty much what these guys have done. A group of people saw a man leave his house and arm his security with lets say a 4 number combination on a keypad. (In the context of this story they saw he only locked the screen door while leaving the main door closed but unlocked) Now they go and tell everyone they know how they know that they can get into this guys house easily but don't tell how just that they saw it's possible. So another guy goes to this house and finds out the code the exact same way but this time he goes on facebook, twitter, email chain etc and gives out the method to get into this guys house. And he gives away his identity too. Say that one day this guy gets robbed. Wouldn't all these people be accomplices to this robbery and if the actual thief isn't caught shouldn't at least the guy who gave out the method to everyone on the internet be held liable. It's like nationally exposing a covert operative while he is undercover, infiltrating a terrorist group or whatever. You put his life at risk and in the past those people have been held responsible have they not. So Geohot or whatever can go on all day long about how he doesn't condone home invasion robberies (piracy) but the proof is in the pudding.

That's why he's so scared of being hit with a lawsuit, as well as he should be.

[joeorc]

Title I of the US DMCA, the WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act has provisions that prevent persons from "circumvent[ing] a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work". Thus if a software manufacturer has some kind of software, dongle or password access device installed in the software any attempt to bypass such a copy protection scheme may be actionable

In the United States, the Copyright Act defines "derivative work" in 17 U.S.C. § 101:
A “derivative work” is a work based upon one or more pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a “derivative work”.

Exemptions were also granted for the circumvention of:

• Video games accessible on personal computers and protected by technological protection measures that control access to lawfully obtained works, when circumvention is accomplished solely for the purpose of good faith testing for, investigating, or correcting security flaws or vulnerabilities, if:

- The information derived from the security testing is used primarily to promote the security of the owner or operator of a computer, computer system, or computer network; and

- The information derived from the security testing is used or maintained in a manner that does not facilitate copyright infringement or a violation of applicable law.

• Computer programs protected by dongles that prevent access due to malfunction or damage and which are obsolete. A dongle shall be considered obsolete if it is no longer manufactured or if a replacement or repair is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace.

So releasing the keys to the public would be?

yup you guessed it.

[gamerz]

@RBLAZE1988
Good analogy except that it's actually a locked room in your own home that you've paid for, not some other guys house.

[RBLAZE1988]

Okay fine it's my locked house that i'm using to store illegaly pirated blu ray games. Using the method that Geohot published online for the world to use for the good of mankind. Yea right cause most people give a crap about someone else but their own gain.

[zag]

Goehot will end up getting sued for being an enabler of piracy on the PS3.

It only takes 1 other person in the world to sign a program that will allow pirated games to work on the PS3.

that's it.

Once that happens then Sony can sue him and in the land of the USA that'd mean busted bigtime.

[Kon_Artist]

Thats like if Hitler said he hates discrimination.

[FinalSpartan]

They shouldn't have removed linux even though no one used it. They have some points.

[mantisimo]

That is as weak as sh*t saying "Buh Buh we only did it because nasty sony removed linux and other os".

What a crock of doo doo, they were working on this long before the other os removal was even rumoured.

And if they are so bothered about it I bet each and every one of them has 30 other machines to use linux on sheesh.

All this talk about burglary and codes etc I am going to find geohotz address and post that on the internet then we'll see how much he likes it./End Rant.

[TradingWarStories]

All I want to know is if it will let me play GTA: San Andreas on my PS3. SNM

[Shazz]

hes gonna feel HOTZ under the collar when hes in court

[Balt]

I don't think he's inherently done anything wrong just yet. All he's done is hack is own system, one in which he bought.

[rockleex]

He made Sony's private key public.

[RememberThe357]

Yeah, that might be against the law in some places...

It really is sad though. If it was just for Homebrew I doubt that any of us would really care. But since we've seen entire platforms die and feature get removed because of piracy, no one can really blame us for being a little brittle to pirates.

[testerg35]

Is posting a key illegal? I don't know and I'm asking. Like if I post 69696969696 and that's someone's pin#, can they take me to court?

[rjdofu]

@testerg35: ...If you posted it intentionally given the name of whose that pin# is

[mantisimo]

@testerg.

HOW in the HELL did you find out my pin number!

Right I'm suing! lol

[bailoutbenny]

the hackers solved a math problem and posted the answer. that isn't illegal. sony was dumb enough to make one of the variables a constant. posting encryption keys is not illegal.

[SoSLy]

@tester

if u released someone's pin and it cost them money and then yes, they can sue you.

[Congentleman]

@bailoutbenny
Well, posting answers to math problems isn't inherently illegal, but I think you just greatly oversimplified the situation. It straight up was illegal, you're not allowed to bypass security measures at all, let alone post it up for the world to see.

Besides, that's some strange logic you have there- because Sony's product didn't have flawless security, it is their fault that hackers bypassed it? That's insane.

[Zir0]

Bad move BBC, you're giving this hack too much coverage. Now the less hardcore gamers (the ones more likely to hack) will get wind of the easiest hack in the history of gaming.

[Matthew94]

yeah a news company isnt going to report the news because someone may read it...

[Eamon]

LOL

[Chris399]

Of course not. It's actually quite in depth and not some rambled off nonsense on a PS3Hax website. Do note that a new SKU will eliminate the issue; this according to the failoverflow people themselves.

I look forward to all the noobs who will brick their new PS3s in 2 months.

[the_best_player]

@Zir0
but but the hits

[GSpartan777]

fail0verflow said it "disagrees" with Mr Hotz's decision to release the key, saying that it expects them "to make piracy easier without accomplishing intrinsically useful".

Errr is something wrong here? Did Geohot somewhat felt that his rep went down with fail0verflow's work that he needed to publicly release the keys for his rep to go back up and then say that he does not condone piracy?

[RememberThe357]

I think that is exactly what happened. This guy is a complete attention whore. I's actually like to see this guy get slapped with a lawsuit so that he could get the attention he deserves.

[SMW]

Surprised these guys are still breathing really. Consider piracy can cost the industry so much, and a hit couldn't cost more than like what 10k right? Maybe call it 50 'cos the guys are pretty well known.

Just saying....

[MGRogue2017]

This "geohot" dude clearly needs his ass whipped with a belt.. Really hard, I'll do the honors.

Sony needs to call up his parents.

[shutupandplay]

This hack is going to kill the PS3, seriously.

[Deathstroke]

I don't see how it will. If you think it's because of piracy then I guess the 360 is already dead (though that would explain its lack of games).

[ButterBomb]

Its lack of games? I'm not having any problems finding things to play. Or are you talking about lists? Because that's what I have on my PS3 right now, nothing but a list and waiting for games just like the 360. Just because the 2 companies announce games differently shouldn't be a reason to panic about no games on Xbox.

I don't think this will kill the PS3, Sony is about to sell a lot more hardware but the system just became that less profitable to developers. If you believe in the theory that many anti-piracy people use and that is that every pirated game would have been purchased.

[zag]

Well it's companies that make the big games right now.

And they have people who look at the gains to made if they make/release a game on X platform.

If they are going to make a decent profit well they'll go ahead if it won't then they don't make a game for that platform.

Look at the DS that has all sort of stuff released that isn't even a game currently you have a drawing program for it.

A company would not make that for the 360 because it wouldn't have the user base you need a large user base that might not be fussed about hardcore games etc to be able to support it.

[jukins]

"hates that it enables piracy" what console hack has not been centered around pirating?

[Tommykrem]

I dislike Hotz. He's being dishonest with himself as well as everyone else. Just listen to the name: Hotz. Remove the "z" and you get a lie.

[Amplitude]

...wait a second. You just said that GeoHotz isn't hot. ...and your name is Tommy.

...................
...isn't that kind of... uh... gay? xD

[bananlol]

Nothing wrong with being gay, as long as you dont hurr someone else you can be or do whatever you want.

[Tommykrem]

No, I didn't say he wasn't hot. I said that he thinks he's hot, and that that's a lie. Even though I then imply that he's not hot, I'm not saying it. And therefore he's a liar, and I'm straight.

[Amplitude]

XDDDDD lmao. k.

[The_Nameless_One]

If he wanted to use the Linux option so much then he could have just went to Sony and they would have gladly helped him. If I was Sony I would sue the living fuck out of him and made sure he would start his new career as Lola the prison bitch. Or just gave him a job...LOL

[AwesomeJizz]

PS3 - It only does hacks.

[the_best_player]

and better games

[theIMP]

And the most annoying fucking fanboys on the planet.

[bananlol]

Thats a illogical statement, its not what item they praise that determines how annoying they are, its what level they praise it to that do.

[Darth_Bane79]

Actually that has been the 360 and the Wii for quite some time so.. Yeah you FAIL TROLL! LOL

[ButterBomb]

Way to change the headline into damage control. Yeah, he is so scared he puts his real face out there and then gives everyone the root key to the system. Yeah, real scared. He did commment on being scared but like #1 says this hacker is a bad liar.

The only people scared should be those developing games for the PS3. Because the console just became the most hacked console this gen(or will soon be).

[jammydude]

How is the ps3 to become the most hacked console this gen????????????? is it going to be any difference to the amount that the 360 and wii were hacked years back?

[ButterBomb]

At least in the 360's case unless you have one of the very early JTAG 360's they've only managed to hack the DVD-Drive. But none of these systems have the root key exposed so a person can sign anything.

I think you are correct in the impact will be the same. A loss sale is a loss sale but the potential for hackers to fight back and hack the system when they have the front door keys is greatest on the PS3.

I should of said "hackable" instead of hacked.

[Ldubbz]

I laugh at all the kids who are so in love with Sony that they actually feel hurt by this, as if they did something to someone u know. Bottom line is they sold us the hardware, and we can do what we want with it. For all of you crying about Hotz, how many of u jailbreak your iPhone? Root your droid? how is this any different?

Thats up to Sony and their partners to secure their IP, not mine. Don't support piracy, dont go downloading stuff....speaking of which, how many of you on here whining use bit torrent daily? Or have music that you didnt exactly buy, and might be listening to right now? Family Guy/Top Gear/Porno that you are prob downloading right now? Lolz....

[gamerz]

Or buy used games! Cause developers make the same amount of money from a used game sale as they do a pirated one. Zilch. Yet everyone on their high horse probably buys plenty of them. Myself included, I'm just pointing out how blatantly hypocritical people are about this issue.

[radphil]

dubbz, give an example of independent people developing applications, or even ideas on the PS3, versus applications on the iPhone.

[Ldubbz]

thats the beauty of this...you will see the PS3 homebrew apps start to pour in from all over; emulators, games, better browser (I hope), better music/video programs, etc.

Thats not possible without what they did.

[duplissi]

i cant wait to see what people will do, but to be honest im wondering if the possible ramifications (piracy, blocked psn) arent worth it.

and honestly im excited at the possibility of a new browser, better codec support, emulators, and the ability to back up and play games from an external or hell a big ass internal drive.

lets hope we can have our cake and eat it too, eh?

[TheMART]

"thats the beauty of this...you will see the PS3 homebrew apps start to pour in from all over; emulators, games, better browser (I hope), better music/video programs, etc.

Thats not possible without what they did."

Actually that was all possible to do on the Jailbreak version without the knowledge of the current keys as long as the PS3 had 3.41 fw or below.

I know, because my PS3 fatty is running with the jailbreak on 3.41 and has emulators for NES, SNES, Megadrive, Neo Geo etc etc with Dreamcast emulator upcoming/made now with the port of NullDC.

This is 'easier' though they can now sign the emulators/other homebrew as official Sony software and install it on any firmware thats out there up till the newest, or make CFW's with new XMB functions. If you want to read up on the current jailbreak stuff, there is a forum about it on N4G:

http://forums.n4g.com/tm.as...

[radphil]

"thats the beauty of this...you will see the PS3 homebrew apps start to pour in from all over; emulators, games, better browser (I hope), better music/video programs, etc"

Well that's the thing. I would like for them to provide something along the lines of the last few parts, but I just keep seeing emulation, which is something that anyone with a computer can easily do. =|

[DavidBanner]

justice comes in many forms i guess that the game systems you have at your home is open season then

[Laeto256]

guys many PS3 games are 50 GB, and most countries besides the US have DL caps on their internet service. So yeah we're a long way from downloading all these ps3 games this is assuming Sony doesnt pull a miracle and patch it back up

[Thrillhouse]

I'm pretty sure only a handful of games are above 30gb. Most range between 5 - 15.

[testerg35]

lol.. hardly any reach 25gb.

[Laeto256]

except if you wanna pirate games you want to pirate the big ones which...usually fill it all up Uncharted 2, GoW3, etc.

[Thrillhouse]

Killzone 2 is 13gb.

Uncharted 2 is 23gb.

Heavy Rain is 24gb.

MGS 4 is 30gb.

GoW 3 is the biggest, at 42gb.

[testerg35]

Oh just let Laeto256 think all games are 50gb.

[Laeto256]

@Thrillhouse
oh wow i never knew that! XD

tester wanna cookie for being a dick? instead of being a prick try being nice and informative.

[sleepy3]

@thrill and lehto
Huh, i've been to quite a few countries and have never seen DL limits on wired broadband.

Even in developing countries like where i live in trinidad (look it up).

I can DL 50 GB at about a gig an hour, so a bit over two days. Seeing as games get leaked a lot BEFORE release, this may still finish before the game even comes out at retail.

And BY THE WAY, lets not forget you are looking at only ONE SIDE. There is also the store on the corner that DL's it once then sells copies at $20 TT (US equivalent $3.50!!). That way you don't even have to DL....

That's how pirated 360 games are sold here. TONS of them actually. You just get a disc with the name of the game in marker and no manual. But it works.

[Passthemic]

Why is this such a big deal? Every console has been hacked before, was the PS3 suppose to be different?

[Xbox360PS3AndPC]

Dont You Know, The Ps3 Is The "Second Coming" On N4G

[Silly gameAr]

Seems you like to play victim. Cute.

[BYE]

-nvm-

[Blacksand1]

Once my acount get hack, i'm going to have a lawsuit for Flow and Jailbreak.

[leonlion]

There is no way that George hotz reversed this key from the ps3
It's much more likely that someone who worked at Sony leaked the key to George hotz
This guy just wants to take the credit for it

[ian72]

I don't care for CFW or pirating PS3 games myself. I will be buying my games and using my PS3 as intended by Sony. I have a good collection of PS3 games, (85 last count) and will only buy original ones. Nothing like having the original copy, case and cover.
Here in UK, games drop in price quickly. If you can wait a while to get a game then there's no need to pirate as the game becomes cheap enough.

[joeorc]

100% in agreement..

I mean the big point is the games for the PS3 an Hell even the Blu-ray Movies all have protected coating on the Disc's even if you indeed buy the game used it will in all likelyhood be free of scratches anyway. there is really no real reason to back up a game on the PS3 due to the disc having such scratch resistance anyway.

Now I can under stand want to back up your content, and i can see why people would want to do it. for DVD's without that scratch resistance but the Blu-Ray disc is quite Scratch resistant anyway. so it's kinda hard to really say you need a backup of content that already has a well protected layer ontop of the physical content anyway.

I mean if you have insurance for fire an theft that kinda support's the back up of your content anyway. game saves yes, but full games...when you can re download PSN games or get a replacement copy of a game is pretty good for a back up for the content anyway.

[rwarner174]

What ever happened to identifying thieves and chopping their hands off?

[blackburn5]

The funniest part about this whole thing is, is all the dishonest people claiming they want it only for homebrew, other OS and custom firmware. But if someone manages to find a way to pirate thPS3 games you will see how fast these 'honest' people will jump to buy them.

BTW getting a little sick of the 'Wii and 360 where pirated and Sony fanboys didn't care". Do I have to care about you system for you too? If you don't care about your systems being hacked why are you so hellbent on me caring about yours? I am concerned about my PS3 okay. Not my problem if you don't care about you system being torn into.

[sleepy3]

top gear - GUILTY

However, i have never pirated a current console (with the exception of the GBA anyway when it was still alive).

But I would feel like a hypocrite to look down on people that pirate PS3/360/Wii games cause in truth, i pirate a whole lot of stuff myself, as do 99.9999999% of ALLLLL of you. Don't deny it. Nobody buys 100% of their porn, lol. just cause you stream instead of DL doesn't make it legal.

[Otheros00]

OLD and DUPLICATE.

[zackacloud]

Why i always see xbox fan on ps3 articles ?

it clearly ps3 best consle with all respect to fanboys
ps3 hardware is the best

that not should mean the other consles a garbage it just mean their another level and micro not care about X360 games just care to stand against ps3

[PatchowPietro]

I just don't see the benefit. A game costs £40 max. Only a cheap bum would feel the need to do this and they wont even be able to play online. Why destroy the gaming industry? Its costs millions to develop and market a game, buy the thing and support the people that made it.

[herculese1]

yes they will be able to play online. The keys allow homebrew to run from unhacked systems meaning full access to PSN.

[Thoreau]

don't worry hackers, soon the going to court will replace hacking...

[Bounkass]

Lol, typical Americans...

[Vesemir]

Homebrew games are a fucking joke. Who play those shitty games anyway ?? I pity the idiot/loser who does play and the one who programs it, because they suck so hard, only a total retard would waste his time playing a homebrew.

The only thing in this is to play pirated games made by professionals. Everyone is waiting in anticipation.
I'm not though.... I couldn't care less. I have money to buy games legally and "support" this whole shit, while you play pirated.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Take pleasure Sony kids in knowing that I will depart early next month to buy a ps3. I think I will find a way to use my 360 wired controller on it. Not like it should be to difficult given the state of things.

[maxcer]

lol, your only getting a ps3 now? christ, the amount of time fanboys spend on this site is more than enough to buy and pay for a 360, ps3, (decent)PC and 2yrs of xbl.

its amazing how peoples fanboy hangout, and n4g is the worst in terms of sony cock sucking at it finest.

[maxcer]

not much when i can dl a 700mb movie in 20mins

[Bolts]

I still don't understand N4G posters are so upset over this. There's hacks for the iphone and pirates for movies and music but nobody gives a damn about that.

[Ryutamashiisan]

Another day another PS3 hack article, blah blah blah, we get it, move on

[rataranian]

Yeah people, you wont have to dl anything. You'll be able to rip right from the game into your hdd. ....My advice, buy alot Gamefly stock now. ;)

[cheetah]

The thing that annoys me is the fact that the honest people who actually buy their games will pay more. F&$king thieves, they make me angry.

[xtremegamerage]

This hack will not kill the PS3, it will help hardware sales even more.

Software sales, well. Most who actually want the game will buy it.

Games are cheap after awhile anyway tbh.
