Shakraka said:I might be forgetting something here, but, how are we going to play PS3 games that are larger than 4GB in size off of external hard drives? And even then, I'm not sure though, I heard that the PS3 doesn't recognize NTFS. I could be wrong. In fact, I think I am wrong., but whatever, tell me I'm wrong.

It's not even confirmed to be working, even if it's likely.
This doesn't load backups. Nor it's certain that it could lead to the development of a software hack and/or a backup loader.
It's highly possible for a backup loader to be developed from this since he states that this pretty much allows you full access to the system. Also, from what I've heard it only works on FATs, as it needs the Other OS to do the hack.
How are games played off an external on the Wii? How are games installed on the PS3? It would seem they use their own file system, which can be cracked, especially since they released some PS3 games on direct download. Even if it wasn't through the hard drive why not blu-ray? Additionally, not all games actually fit an entire blu-ray and it could be possible to enable some sort of dvd playback. That's beyond the scope of this exploit at this point though, but it's definitely a first step to playing backups.
