Well, now you can mod your PS3... by modding your controller .

Honestly, the only reason I would update my firmware at this point would be for Last Guardian (let's face it, it'll require an update and we all know it.)

Even then, I'll probably just wait it out and see if custom firmware starts popping up.

Im looking for a way I can transfer ps3 game into hard drive by computer, something like a iso loader similar to wii thing? It might be faster to backup by hard drive then by ps3. Internal is pretty cool but rather save hard drive space.

FTP server. Just fire it up and copy it over. Unless you're talking about streaming it from your PC, then no that is not possible yet.

In fact, the only console that .iso streaming is possible on is the Gamecube.

There was a tool that allowed you to do it on the PSP too.

Well in previous gens, the vast install base made up for the sales lost to piracy. Now they don't have that to fall back on.

Plus as proved by the software sales of PC PSP and DS the internet makes piracy all that more hurtful to their pocket.




But really, punishing us will hardly help their case (in the eyes of the consumer/pirate)

Well I just see it as karma biting them in the ass for what they did to Lik-Sang (and to a lesser extent, Bleem)
