Will there ever be mod for PS3

[Mangofett]

And you know the Elite still suffers from the RROD problem. Exact same thing as other 360's except it is a black matte and has a 120GB HDD.

Anyone who isn't an idiot can avoid the RROD with the new Falcon set. Just keep it in a well ventilated area.

At least our warranties aren't voided because of dust inside our consoles.

Cut it out children, this is a thread asking about any possible mods for the PS3, not a flame war between the PS3 and Xbox360.

You know what; I have both. They're both great in their own ways. Shaddup.

As for modding, I think when the price of blu-ray comes down a bit (burners and media) there will be more interest in hacking the PS3. Give it time. I'll bet you sometime next year.

Obviously you never seen the actual console from that story. And at least PSN is working fine ATM unlike Xbox Live which has been down for the past week with Microsoft not knowing how to fix it!

Please stop the flame war. Stay on topic. I understand you're defending your PS3 but c'mon, lets talk about hacks!!! I dont think it'll be hacked anytime soon. Even so, those blank BluRay discs are expensive and the burner needed costs almost as much as the PS3 itself. Maybe a hack to play games from the HDD would be more economical.

That's what I'm hoping for. Hopefully I'll have upgraded to my faster connection by then, downloading 15 gig games on a 768k connection would take days x_x

I really don't see why people keep going on about the price of blue ray discs and the burner. They are no more expensive then dvd burners when they first came out. First dvd burner cost me nearly £300 and the discs were not cheap either. That didn't stop them making a mod for the ps2. If the ps3 gets hacked , it will get hacked , they aint gonna go , oh we have a hack , but lets not release because the blank media is too expensive.

Blank disc = £10 , retail game = £30-40. Blank doesn't seem so expensive now does it?.

Compared to DVDs it is expensive, compared to games not that much.

True compared to dvd it is , but you can't really expect new tech like blu-ray to be the same price as dvds that have been out ages.

Point I was trying to make is , compared to games you are still gonna save. The discs are no more expensive than other blank media when they first appeared (dvd was expensive when it first came , blank cds , same expensive) , yet people seem to forget that. Also people just seem to be stuck on the price , like unless the hack is for hdd , there is no point , or that a hack won't come unless blu-ray goes cheaper.

When the price of blu-ray is gonna have no effect on whether a hack appears or not.

I think there's a lot of things that come into play and I hope they get something set in soon because they're probably going to make a lot more games like DMC4 and stuff and that'd be a lot more fun to get a release instead of goin some place and spending obscene amounts of money on it

plus in Japan they've made a new drive that burns like 29837 times faster and better on dvds and blu-ray discs as well

Link? I'd like to look into this burner.

Xbox Live is having problems because it got an overload of new users. PSN is fine because no one is playing on it.

Were supposed to be on topic. So IMO the PS3 will get a mod probably in around 1.5 years, hopefully sooner. And to be a little off topic, PSN is fine because Sony isn't afraid to give users dedicated servers and on PSN there are constantly people playing. On Resistance there are always thousands of people playing 40 people matches. Motorstorm there are always hundreds of players racing. Guess that no one was a little understatement eh? This is of course only 2 games out of hundreds the PS3 has. And that overload of users is a theory from Microsoft. They have yet to prove that is what really happened, especially considering the PS3 sold more than the 360 last week.

Halo 3 had numbers close to a million, and there are more 360's out in the hands of consumers. So yeah, in comparison, no one would fit.

Umm there's a mod... But it can't play PS3 backups, only PS2/PS1 backups and it only works on the 80,60 or 20GB PS3's. And BTW a mod doesn't necessarily mean it will use discs. The PS3 has Hard drives remember, and not all games are as big as sony makes it seem.

It is so true.

Some examples.
Unreal Tournament III was 4.17 GB
Kane And Lynch was 9.59 GB
Blacksite Area was 51 7.80 GB
Assassins Creed was 7.88 GB
GuitarHero III Legends of Rock was 5.75 GB

And when there is a good method it could probably have the games run off Dual Layer dvd's like the PS2. And there will also probably be a way to trim the game down a bit too but then you would lose some video or what not.

Also you can get bluray disks as cheap as 16.98 at newegg and thats including shipping and handling.

The biggest game I seen is Uncharted Drakes Fortune which is 21.00 GB

Then again I really do not go looking around for games.

Debatable. I'll just leave this though.

 

[Armadillo]

Guessing he got em from scene releases.

MRN release of UT3 =45X100MB
MRN release of kane and lynch is 52X200MB
Blacksite 84X100MB
Assassins creed is 85X100MB
Guitar hero is 62x100MB

Only games out that are anywhere near full capacity are drakes fortune which is just under 22GB and lair which is just under 25GB.

 

[BoneMonkey]

there is nothing to mod

get a ps3

taledega nights
drake uncharted fortune

boom you have the entire ps3 collection right there

Not worth modding since Blu Ray discs are very expensive.
