With piracy rife in the Wii, Xbox 360, DS and PSP markets, the PS3 has to date proved the only current-gen machine to successfully fend off the hackers – but it seems that things could be about to change.

According to reports on Maxconsole, a lengthy and convoluted workaround has been discovered that allows users to play pirated copies of Killzone 2, PES 2008 and Burnout Paradise.

Users are also required to have an older PS3 (i.e. not a ‘Slim’ machine) onto which third party OS software can be installed as well as copies of Windows XP, the original MotorStorm and a host of piracy-related DVD software.

The exploit, however, has been met with widespread scepticism amongst many in the hacker community, not least because of the extreme cost and effort needed to implement it.

Even if the hack is real, any detrimental effects are likely to be minimal for now. The fear, however, is that this method could be the start of full-fledged hacking of Sony’s console.

Not mine

Nope. Nothing will happen to the PS3 all they will do is implement a coding like they did with gamesaves i guess. So im saying nope they cant hack every game so its not reliable

Wow.... The PS3....?
Wow......

Pretty helpful post there, not just an attempt to get your post count up.

If you don't have anything useful to post then don't post its simple.

that's interesting. I wonder if that is why Sony came out with the slim and reduced the ability to load up a different OS on the console. Maybe they figured this out already?!?!

Sounds Cool lol

blu ray equipment is really really expensive.. no wonder they're skeptical if u want a good opinion on the truth of this ask fraz422 he's a ps3 knowledge god

He clearly says below it "Not Mine"

That doesn't matter, all that matters is the content.

'Hackers' will eventually get into everything that is 'un-hackable'. No matter what it is, who controls it, they will find a way if they are determined. Calling something un-hackable will inspire them to try because when they do hack it they can rub it in the devs faced and say "I hacked you biatches, LOLOLOL" Hell, some guy managed to hack in the US MILITARY systems not that long ago. The people that have the best technology available got hacked by someone who was determined to do it. If someone can do that, I'm sure getting a PS3 to play copied games is...easy?
