Rumor: First PS3 MODCHIP Coming Soon?!

[raulpica]

Sounds very fishy.

This guy says his modchip has an "intelligent code modifying system," which is a technology supposedly made up by the Xeno/Wiikey team for promoting the D2CKey (without any solid details). The Whois information on this domain doesn't match up with what the Wiikey team's host is so we can safely say they're not behind it.

Actually "intelligent code modifying system" is just generic wordage for "it werkz and we maek it look pr0 n awzm".

Just sounds way too good to be true.

Just for the note, has anyone seen the size of those PS3 dumps on the Internet. They are anywhere between 4-8GB, if i recall well, so it would be a waste of a Blu-ray CD, plus shouldn't the game size be a lot bigger, or is the rest of the Blu-ray games just filled with padding or something?

If you ask me, it sounds way to stupid to be true. Nobody's gonna want to burn blu-ray discs to pirate games. Unless, of course, they could come up with a system where you can burn smaller games onto a DVD.

oh man if this is true
it would be awesome
i just hope if its real that its not hard to install
if u think about it ps3 is unhackable and it make sense for it to be hard to hack
i just hope this is real but im pretty sure its not

Iso loader or bust

How about .. JUST BUY THE GAMES YOU WANNA PLAY?

 

[Scorpin200]

Oh its real alright, but what the point get this to run maybe one or two games worth pirating?


"How about .. JUST BUY THE GAMES YOU WANNA PLAY? "


hmm you must be new here

i find the ps2 backup thing hard to believe unless the modchip carries extra hard ware because as i understand the original ps3s with ps2 capabilities had extra hardware to use ps2 games, if it was just software that let the ps3 emulate the ps2 then surely the newer ps3 would have it

This is fake- get over it. It's been more or less proved now, just look at the original website, it's all BS.

When the price of Blu Ray burners and discs drops, it will greatly outweigh the cost of buying games, but even by then the PS3 might be replaced by something else. Say what you want about Sony as a company, but the PS3 design made it damn near impossible to hack and I think that was part of their intention. If it has taken roughly 3 years to make a mod chip for it and when you factor in the sales numbers of the PS3, modchip productions will increase and so will console sales. The hackability of the Wii and 360 can be a disadvantage from a game sales perspective, but considering how much shovelware shit there is on the Wii, that should be an indication to the developers to make better games, which applies to all consoles.

Blu-ray readers and writers probably won't go down in price for some time...they've hardly dropped significantly since they first came out years ago. I doubt burning blu-ray discs would be a viable way to market a modchip.

 

[pieman202]

it would be pretty funny if the slim didn't work with this =P

 

[vhunter]

This will hurt all 360 fanboys.
(Im not a ps3 fanboy btw, don't even own one)

What you talkin about Willis? Blu-Ray readers were 1200 CAD when they first came out 3 years ago, a reader now is like 100 dollars, the cost has come down almost 10 fold, burners came out at over 1,000 bucks too and those were 2x ones, you can get an 8x for 230 bucks, that isn't too bad really.

It's likely that most games will fit onto DVD+R DL so a BluRay burners won't be needed. Kinda like the DC with GD-R games burnt onto CD-R.

EDIT: Nevermind, thought PS3 could play DVD+R DL.

Why would this hurt them? It's not even confirmed to be real.
And btw, 360 had a mod for years, so this would hurt PS3 fanboys that had to wait this long for a mod, and not X360 fanboys
