That's why PSP's piracy is WAY up. Portability, and ease of use. It's simple to download a ISO/CSO for a PSP Game, place it on your memory stick and go. I'm sure people here (Yes, even highly respected members of the site) have downloaded a game or two...or more, in the past.
As for the PS3 piracy? Hell no. It will never happen. The games are just too huge, and it's so much on those blu-rays. Who will want to waste their time with it?
I'm down for homebrew though. Let's get this show on the road....
ONE MAJOR question though....Does this require Hardware Mod? If it does, then count me out. I'll wait for Software/Save Game/Tiff Exploit or something along those lines. I'm not cracking open my $600.00 baby, for some homebrew that can be patched easily.
-------No, Geohot made the hardware mods to see how it will be able to work. Since he already knew why didn't work. So someone has to write a program to initiate a new boot order. Also how to incorporate the synergistic processing units. Or else you just have an equivalent to a athlon amd.

i have two ps3's so i think im going to be trying this . if them XP lobbies are going to work
. and even just for the sake of not paying £60 for a game
that could be saved up on a new tele which i neeeeed coz i just broke mine
i shot it with a pelet gun :/
-----When it is possible to run game of an external, no one's going to complain. Look at the nintendo WII homebrews. There flawless, well neogamma anyway. And PS3 games are big but not huge. 3 to 10 gig, not a big deal. When I installed the Swiss army knife I thought I was going to be able to play the backed up game. 6.5 gig for in whch the game I tried. Then was dissapointed that it didn't work. You can get a terabyte external for under $100.
