I read today on a news website that South African hackers have been caught with PS3 backups that they where selling..

I have heard every one say that it's impossible to run backups from Blue-ray on the ps3.

Translating from the source:

"Dismantled a pirate network that dedicated itself to distribution of codes that would circumvent the ps3 security keys and selling pirate games"

This story contradicts that science..

Can any one with the knowledge add some light to this ??

Nowhere it talks about bluray game disc. You can sell games on hard drives too.

Even from the Portuguese source (wait, is that Portuguese? great, I understood it all), it's talking about USB jailbreak dongle, hard drives and original games PS2/PS3:
"memórias USB para jailbreak, consolas PlayStation3, discos rígidos e jogos originais PS2 e PS3".
No mention to burned blu-ray.
If really it's burned discs it's only for PS2, as PS3 games are most probably on the mentioned HDD.

Maybe you are correct since probably they got this info from another language web source or other place, but i was curious since as far as i'm informed it is not possible to load backups directly due to hardware limitations

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
