the benifits or the necessities of this...
what's so unlikable about buying a console, buying games for it, and downloading additional legit features from time to time that you have to tinker with something that is working properly and is secured?... it's a simple as that and my PS3 experience is surely not lacking right now and will get better and better as more improvements in games library and console features come.
there is no need for this, i'm sorry but that is my opinion.
if it ain't broke don't fix it, more often than not you'll mess it all up.
Hopefully Sony has time to edit the motherboard in the new SDK coming soon (w/e they have planned to replace the 80GB) To block this .tiff exploit. I mean come on, PS3 homebrew hackers. You're just going to kill the system that you're trying to improve. I believe that the PSP homebrew scene is good (other than the ISOs of PSP games), but imagine if Sony had taken all that time and energy put into blocking homebrew into something productive for their PSP. Maybe they would have spent more time trying to fit Skype onto the old phat PSP-1000. There could have even been entire projects that had to be scrapped because that section of the team had to devote themselves to PSP security.
Developers love it when a system gets hacked because then they get no money for their games. It's obvious why your unhappy with this because it will mean the ps3 will go the same way as the dreamcast or even the psp if it's lucky. I find this news very very funny considering everyone's arguement over how "open" the ps3 is and how strict ms is about the xbox 360. Oh well quixand back to the subways for you.
When they say "open" they mean the network. Like how you can put mods on unreal tournament 3 for the ps3 so easily yet the 360 has no word of mods yet, for an example.
Anyone that thinks an open system (piracy/homebrew) kills it is ignorant. The same old lame comment about how the dreamcast died from piracy is a bunch of BS.
If piracy/homebrew kills systems then why aren't these dead or "had died" during their time?
GameCube
Xbox
Xbox 360
PS1
PS2
PC!!!!!!
GBA
NDS
Getting HB on the PS3 wont kill it any more then any other system died from it or piracy. The amount of actual pirates versus paying customers is so ridiculously small it's a moot point.
for someone who doesn't have money riding on the security of the console ha? or from someone who hasn't really lived and experienced piracy in countries like China, Indonesia, Philippines etc where the industry is just trying to keep it's head above water.
how shortsighted some people are... now if those huge population of people would just buy games then maybe developers and publishers won't have to charge that much just to breakeven... what did you say? "amount of actual pirates versus paying customers" way to go in saying that it's good to carry these slackers on our money paying backs... maybe games like ut3, gears, and crysis would have sold more on the PC... lord knows they deserve those sales.
no those systems are not dead because the companies behind them fought to keep it that way.. a battle that was unnecessary to begin with.
piracy does nothing good, only for those people with selfish intents is it of any worth.
way to go in promoting stealing, you have a good future in politics... they need more shortsighted shallow people like you... newsflash: the world is a lot bigger than your personal needs.
"no those systems are not dead"
I knew even you couldn't have been dumb enough to disagree.
That's is correct, they are not dead and they all had block buster titles. Meaning piracy does not harm consoles.
As for the rest of your crap about the companies having made more money or having to do something they shouldn't...blah blah blah....that is neither here nor there. None of that had to do with the conversation taking place.
"piracy does nothing good"
Who the hell said it does? And NO I do not support piracy. Thanks for showing us all what kind of a POS you can be.
I do not support piracy...which this would surely bring about, but that's not the only thing homebrew would be used for. The PS3 isn't region coded, that's been covered, but PS2 games still are...so as a result, you can't play imported games on the PS3.
If this exploit was brought about, a soft mod could make it possible to play imported games. Piracy isn't what homebrew is. Homebrew can serve a purpose.
Piracy has been around on the 360 for a LONG time....and it is SUPER easy to do, not to mention the ISO's are under 8 gigs.......360 is still making tons of cash in the software front....
Even if they get code running on PS3, it's going to be AT LEAST a year before they get an ISO loader running....
However it also allows people to start porting graphical apps that can access the RSX and actually make PS3 a nice Photoshop/rendering machine.....it would also allow for video and sound editing software to be ported (if people take the time) in which PS3 would kick ass at....
Not to mention countless other applications.....
What is: 1680 x 1050?
any good..
That is what you call a 16:10 resolution and they are nothing but a PITA. Between poor video driver support and sctretching issues.
What size >>below
PLZ GOD sumone fully hack this console and actually have PS3 CUSTOM FIRMWARE!!!
the PSP is so much better with it and this on the PS3 will increase sales rapidly.
i can understand having extra features on the psp, since it's portable, but the ps3? why risk my $600 machine just to run some apps that I could just as easily run on my pc? and if you think people will be able to rip a bluray to the ps3's hard drive, remember how big those suckers are.
It will take more then a terabyte hard drive to do that.
Well, they could remove the region lock on PS2 and PS1 games, for example ?
They could remove the checker which checks whether the PS2-PS1 disk is legit.
I would pay for this... I have lots of pirated PS1 and PS2 games... shame on me +(
actually the size of most ps3 games today are below 20gb.
i mean common guys ...its not a psp.. where hacking the psp was not as complicated. ps guys we've seen what happened to the psp. not many games are being developed because of the iso's and the illegal games. now im not saying that i don't have games on my 4 gig memory card for my psp ..but hey i don't want that to happened to this precious $600 dollar machine.
I don't really want my 400$ machine (I suppose I bought mine after yours ballar360) to stop being fed by games since nobody wanna produce games on it, since it's craked and everyone will crack it.
Again, normal people DO NOT crack/hack their consoles, so it's not like it would destroy, for exemple, the wii's popularity, but we're talking about PS3s, and big gamers are on it, and WE can hack/crack. Worst than that, we can't stop ourselves from cracking if there is a way, lol. So no crack/hack/chips is the best, lol. I mean, at least for now. (I'll change my mind on this when I'll have bought more than 10-15 games, lol)
PSP was WAAAY too easy to hack (version 1.0 was open to hacks out of the box, 1.5 not much harder) Sony learned a lesson obviously, as PS3 is much harder to crash...but obviously not possible....
The reason piracy on PSP became so rapant is that 2+ gig memcards are cheap as hell and iso's are only 200-1000mb.....a simple download.....
Downloading a 20 gig file is alot different, not to mention you then need writeable blu-ray drive and blu-ray discs....which are still expensive as hell......and if you put 'em on your HDD you will be filling that up very quickly....
And all you other people that say that you don't see the point just don't know the potential of this powerful machine.
spent $800 (yes, our PS3s here in Australia are way more expensive than in the US) on the PS3 if i don't know the potential of the PS3.
and i say it doesn't need it, so don't go judging people and saying what they do or don't know.
would you like me to stereotype you and say that you want the PS3 hacked because you're to cheap or too poor to buy actual games?
No.. you wouldn't like that... and I won't say that to anyone anyway cause that is not true... and that goes with what you said as well, it is not true.
No qj stay away from homebrew related topics about PS3. I remember when i first got the PSP and i went on this site it was so great. Every article was about new official firmware and games.PSP section is now filled with homebrew crap like fertl Version 1.2 for an example and i know thats not real im just showing u how retarded this crap is. I never go on the PSP section anymore and i dont want to see the PS3 section turning into numerous homebrew articles. I love coming here and seeing for expl Paradise demo has online or new ps3 model and topics about graphix.
I can barely stand to read through the PSP section trying to find legit GAMES and actualy info, not crap-tastic "LAWL, I can has make pak-man 2 guise!!!11!!1."
I want to hear about Patapon, new real games, and thats it. DIAF, game thieves.
wow guys.... if you don't like homebrew then just go the official boards. There you get information about games and firmwares. Nothing more. Have fun with it. QJ was always a site about Homebrews, programs and other topics. Again I can only say: There are titles for the articles. If you can read, (Yeah, some people have problems with it!)you can just skip the article.
As for all the people who are afraid of pirated games: the Wii and the X360 is hacked, does that mean that nobody buys games for them anymore? Hell NO. I can clearly understand your concerns, but I'm pretty sure that piracy will never be so big like it is on the PSP.
Firstly, ISO's will be impossible, because the HDD of the PS3 is formatted in a FAT32 system, that means you can only have data up to 4GBs. Secondly, burning is stupid at the moment. If you buy the blank BD's, you can also buy the full games, 'cause the price difference isn't much.
And for Homebrew the PS3 is perfect. Tell me where you can such a powerful PC for the same price.
This site is all about homebrew BUT it does not support piracy and homebrew is not illegal.
I would love to see FreePlay owning you xD (c'mon)
Since when was this site "all about homebrew"? last time I checked it was a PS3 news site..
Check the PSP and general section.
...or at least they go hand in hand. I mean, c'mon- who is actually buying PSP games when they can download it from the net that easily. I BET there would be almost no one on CFW if it wasnt for the iso loader. Who is interested in free play? Playing Pac man- like games on a high end portable console?
On the PS3 if im into mini-games, I get them from PSN in awesome quality. The only thing that WOULD be nice homebrew. wise would be emulators (N64, Amiga etc) You can have that on your PC, however.
I am!
And I do stilll buy my games.
I was just trying to say that the PS3 is a very powerful machine with much more potential than the PSP
NOT FOR ISO's I would as much as any one would enjoy not killing the most powerful gaming machine on the planet. Its just everything else im interested in like sendeng music or movies to a friend online strait from the HDD or along with of blu-ray live, we could have the PS3 convert and compress DVD's into the PSP with ease or just imagine if they made something like IRshell for the PS3 or even emulators would also be fun but i was just trying to say that it has unlimited potential for doing things a gaming console was never meant to do. I AM COMPLETELY AGAINST PIRATING FOR THE PS3!
that's why i said i wouldn't say that you are too cheap cause that wouldn't be true...
but i guess you also know that together with the progress of homebrew on the ps3 comes the boost of piracy as well... this are directly related and the growth of one is the growth of another.
there are never win-win situations in life and if there are any these are mostly too good to be true... if you get something you tend to give up something... the smart thing to do is to weigh the pros and cons.
and in this issue, personally, i have weighed the pros and cons.. and i say that i would rather give up homebrew than to welcome the possible risk on the PS3 (as a machine and as an entity) and, to a broader scale, the gaming community in its entirety.
this is the deal..COD4 was a great title. assassins creed ehh didnt like it it was to short and u did the same things over and over again. now we are talking about the ps3. wat hacks would u want in it.?downloading games from utorrent. or playing xbox games. or playing psp games or watever may be the cause. these hackers need to stop trying to hack the psp and invest their time in something more productive. now if they hack the ps3 it will effect sonys economy greatly i mean take a look at the PSP.
Potetnial for pirating is NOT a boost in a companies economy- altough it MAY boost hardware sales (cf PSP,Wii). However, it is a fact that most companies (including Sony) are selling their consoles below production costs - and are relying on game sales to gain income. So if you buy just the console itself and play pirated games you are economically damaging the company. (Except for the wii which is sold a bit over production costs I suppose)
Why people are so scared of this console getting hacked, every console gets hacked, it's always been the case, so whats so scary about the PS3 getting hacked, I don't see any of you guys complaining in the PSP section because the PSP was hacked, or the sbox 360, and wii sections saying it's wrong. There are hacking groups out there like NooBz who could hack the console if they wanted and wouldn't put ISO loaders out there because they are totally against them, and others who would put ISO loaders out there for very different reasons, mostly they are put they're so you can load your OWN back-ups, obviously they aint used that way, but thats what they are there for. I choose to be one of those people who downloads games to try them out, of course no one believes that but its true, I do buy the games that I like. Either way the PS3 will be hacked and I think thats a good thing, because the expansive features will be great, homebrew delivers where Sony doesn't.
p.s. how many of you have firmware 2.10 still i know i updated right away to ge tmy cod4 online :|
No offence man, but 2.10 is the newest firmware out, there is no higher at the moment.
sorry forgot this aint psp thats on firmware 3.9 i believe now lol
Just to these people who say we don't need homebrew in XMB because we have Linux, homebrew isn't just limited to games, as we have seen with the PSP, it can add great features that are not currently there that people really want, such as flash apps, ingame music (which was done on the PSP) and the list goes on. If we had it you would use it. And you wouldn't be saying that we don't need it then. It's easy to assume that homebrew just means ISO loading but that's bolloxs, it brings so much more.
Wow, so many people getting worked up over fake news. How quickly everyone forgets that the last "Team ICE" break through was deemed 100% fake.
Anyone can malform an image and cause the PS3 to crash.
Like some of the guys have stated above, homebrew is not dedicated to piracy. It would be nice for people to get homebrew on their PS3s without a hassle, but what I'd like to see is access to the RPX through Linux. NOW that would be cool. (ability to display sophisticated 3D objects, like in games)
In my own opinion, it's alright to download games, but ONLY if production of them are done (1st generation of games all the way to the last generation) because they have a minimal effect on sales)
I hope Sony finds a way to seal this exploit up. I don't want another PSP with no good games.
...and you base this theory on what? You think because piracy happens on the PSP, that's the reason there are no good games on it? That's a bunch of bull.
There is piracy on ALL consoles (with PC being the largest!) and that hasn't stopped anyone from producing games for any of them.
Ok, I understand the desire for ps3 cfw, think of the awesome games people could develop, or all the apps. But I reallllllly don't want there to be ISO access, because if that happens, there goes all hope for good games. It's happened with the psp, now please not the ps3. Because the fact of the matter is that ps3 games don't take up a full 50gb, most are 10-20 (some are on the higher end at like, 25-30 gb) and if you buy a 320 gb hard drive, that's alot of games. Just hope people don't go and ***** up the system. I for one am not going to put cfw on mine.
"But I reallllllly don't want there to be ISO access, because if that happens, there goes all hope for good games. It's happened with the psp"
Oh yeah? Who told you that? If ISO access means no good games then why are there good games for the Xbox, 360, PS1, PS2, GBA, NDS, PC....
"ISO access" obviously DOES NOT mean no good games.
Does no one else want to play PS1, N64, and other games on their ps3 from the menu?
I want donkey kong, and I see no reason that is bad.
