Not at this stage.. hopefully in the end it wont need a chip and it will only need a firmware upgrade to hack it like the PSP... that would be nice...

But short answer is no, not yet..

($100 games are killing me aswell, im up to 9 games.. :) ) lol

You can check the latest progress of mod chips from http://www.ozmodchips.com/, but as nitestalkr said b4, there are no mods for the PS3 yet, mainly due to the fact that BR have several different copy protection mechanisms.

& since PS3 have no game region, its gonna hard for mod makers to find a "reason" to get them to be legal, as for other consoles the main "reason" was to play game from another region.

But we all know, what the true use of a mod is :)

Wondering if the PS3 has a mod-chip available. As the $100+ games are killing me.

use ebay and i am sure you can half it,

Would be cool if they were able to hack it like the original xbox could. I had a massive hardrive and the right software so i could juts put a game into the xbox and copy it to hardrive and then walla i had it stored there for good and it played so much quicker then disk. Video ezy was my best friend back then.

Now a days i dont mind spending the money on a game and i think you appreciate them alot more.

Yeah thanks for the feedback guys. We'll guess i just have to pay full price for games then :O

I guess from now on i'm buying games from EB, coz they have a 7 day return policy if you don't like the game, beats buying a crap game and being stuck with it...then again EB games is very expensive :P

apparently my brothers friend has his ps3 modded. I reckon he is talking shit though. He says he cannot access the playstation network at all with it. Thats enough for me to not want one.

Thats BS

PS3 has not been "hacked" as yet. Full stop.

Heres my 2cents :(

Its not gonna happen anytime soon my friend. Ive got a feeling they will find an exploit with a PSP with a Sony f*kk up on a future PS3 or PSP update. Allowing the PSP to hack the PS3 maybe?!?( just an idea :P ) Even if it were a simple .ISO loader to the PS3 HDD id prolly go out and buy a PS3 2moro.

But heres the reality, 1st thing to remember is that a 25GB blank blueray disc(Ritek) goes for around the $15-20AUD mark, so copies wont be cheap.

What about the games larger than 25GB(MGS4 for example is alot bigger than 25GB), anyone got prices on 50GB blanks? Best ive found were Panasonics which were $30-40(USD?), but would u really want to use cheap media and make $30+ coasters?

I could be wrong, but from memory the PS3 can(will be able to) handle 100GB discs, if the PS3 gets modded and Sony start to lose software sales, they could force the developers to uncompress all the data and put all games onto 100GB discs and just let the consumer wear the costs, which id imagine may only be a hike of $5-10 on a stupidly priced $120 game.

But the costs of the blanks would render piracy useless, well for awhile untill prices of blanks drop.

Lets say I am wrong though, do u still wanna pay(lets say someone else) $50-70 for a copy of MGS4???

I think an .ISO loader to the HDD would be the way to go, hard drives are cheaper than blanks!

Shoulda bought a 360 or a Wii :)

LOL with the way Nintendo are acting, they support piracy!!

(what a joke the 3.3 update was)

Heres another LINK stating that Kojima had to compress MGS4 to fit the 50GB disc!!

Or a computer + net connection = all your games could be free... :P

This comb is severing me well atm XD

Just for the records, out of all the PC games I've bought (only ~ 5) I regret buying 4...

The other reason why PS3 is hard to mod is purely due to the # of copy protections put into the Blue Ray format, if I remeber correctly theres atleast 4 main types of protections in BR (as oppsed to the now deceased HD DVD format which only had 1).

Had another sniff around looks like Dark Alex(The master responsible for your M33 Custom Firmware on your PSP's) is starting to work on the PS3, this is awesome news and CFW may be here sooner than I thought. Looks like homebrew is 1st priority, but "homebrew" basically = everything IMO anyways.

LOL any1 wanna buy a 1TB HDD full of PS3 games PM me (JK :/ )

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
