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

Wow.... Just wow.

this suks so bad if it is true!

why does this suck?

because it starts there and then it leads to game hacks like god mode on MW2 n shit so its bad lol

but you will be able to do way more with your ps3 afterwardsm and you can do alot of modding already with the easy accessibility of the game saves

Even if it is possible, I learned my lesson when I got my 360 banned for having it flashed to play burned games..It was an expensive mistake

LoL i like Sony
i like the fact that they made PS3 so hard to hack
Keep the good work Sony

TBH Thats more bother than just buying the game in the first place and if this is true it could have reprocussions much like the 360 users that got banned of live permently for havving modded consoles.

we didnt get banned permanently from xbox live, it was just a console ban and not a gamer tag ban..MS was smart as they banned over a million players around the holidays, therefore a million new console being sold to these banned players..But as I did, I refused to spend more money on MS and decided to throw my money at PS..In which I wish I would of converted earlier
