Top 4 reasons piracy hasn


Recommended Posts

don't forget though, it did take a little while for the ability to copy UMD's, let alone run them via loaders etc. think the lack of bd burners is a major contributor.

You dont need BD Burner just like you dont need a UMD Burner, you can rip games by installing linux on the PS3 and using a simple 1 line command in terminal. Im no expert on the PS3 but the OS looks very much like PSP OS so im assuming they use similar ways of playing games so maybe you can play games using an ISOLoader with games stored on the HDD.

That really bugs me when all the Xbox360 only owners come in here and says it's because there are no games when they haven't played many of the games out for the system.

Yes Xbox360 has more hit games right now thats a no brainer right now but saying PS3 has no good titles...

I own 5 games and I'm happy with all of them, I had a few games that blew but I traded them in. Soon as Guitar Hero III gets back in stock I'll be getting it for PS3 (so i can play GH1 and GH2 without pulling out my PS2).

I don't really agree with the point about downloading 50GB ISOs. Many torrent sites now have blu-ray movie rips that are in the region of 50GB, and people do download those.

Yeah it is a little annoying.

Let me put up a little comparison of what I feel its like.

If I were to go into the 360 section and say "every 360 manufactured before 2007/or in the first batch will RROD at somepoint"... people wouldn't be happy with that.

I'd probably be told im talking nonsense... how would I reply? well... "I didn't REALLY mean EVERY 360, what I meant is it might as well be every 360 as a high % of them are at a high risk".

Sound familiar?

The daftest thing are these complaints are really short term moans owners may/will be disgruntled at but get over eventually, but "certain" people will blow trumpets at the complaints for as long as possible/take them out of context.

RROD solution - All RROD'ing consoles replaced/fixed, new models supposedly won't suffer at all.

PS3 Lineup - Will obviously grow stronger over time, and we know what games to expect to do well.

Bear in mind I typed up that little comparison to try and show how it feels, not to directly compare lineup issues vs hardware issues. They are in a different league, cause differing levels of grief, and are remedied in different ways.

^ My personal feeling are that hardware issues are more concerning than a slow software start. You may feel differently of course.

this a two way street you know? how many times have we seem people who don't own a 360 talking about how much it sucks to get a RRoD on the console and some other issues. the same applies here, you don't need to own a console to know it lacks games worth playing. :)

Precisely my point there though!

It LACKS games... it doesn't have "none" or "0".

I know it's a two way street, I'm not saying people who don't have the console can't chip in. What IS frustrating though is when things are posted out of context for a "negative" spin/or a "spin" to try and rile people up.

There is little benefit to posting one thing and then saying "but I really meant this" when you are questioned. If you genuinely feel there are 0 games worth playing then yeah of course post that as your opinion, but you're going to get a lot of puzzled onlookers.

Worthwhile games is one thing, games that suit your taste is another thing. I think half the puzzle games on the DS are geniunely worthwhile for the handheld (due to 7/8/9 outta 10 ratings) but I don't personally like em. Doesn't mean I go around saying there are 0 worthwhile puzzle games for the DS though.

I think having to download a 50GB (tbh they're all a lot smaller than 50GB anyway) iso everytime I want a game would deter me from just downloading games for the sake of it, while the 360's 9GB isos are much more enticing to not bother renting the game (I haven't modded my 360, yet... since it RRODed I might mod it if x-clamp works). I might download a really good looking PS3 game if it came out early online, but I wouldn't just download a game to try it out.

You could kind of backup my point with the fact that hundreds of people will download a smaller sized x264 encode of a movie, but a BD/HD-DVD rip will have far fewer people snatching it, probably less than half.

So because fools bash the X360 fail rate you feel justified to bash the PS3?

An eye for an eye and everyone goes blind.

Just as I know many people have never had RROD problems. Yes lots of people use that to bash the 360 and it is immature, but because some people are like that you also get to be like that and come in here claiming every game for PS3 sucks. One would think you must of played each game then but the truth is you don't own PS3 so what are you getting the idea that PS3 has no games worth playing. Maybe you looked at metacritic and decided 80s and 90s average over many many reviews isn't good enough or maybe your just going with what many other people have been saying with no proof at all.

I'm agreeing with you on lots of things. Yes Xbox360 has a faster GPU, yes multi-platform games often look better on the 360 (when they put more time then just porting it though the games look just as good and in some cases better). Yes Xbox360 has more good games out right now. But the PS3 has a number of good games to play.

reason 5 and I think the most important... NO GAMES! :p

a console without games that appeals the masses is not even worth the effort of hacking it, it's the same reason people don't even bother to create a virus for Mac... :rofl:

LOL, i was going to say the samething.

It will be done eventually, i mean you dont really need a bluray burner to copy pirated games, you can always put them on your hdd and i'm sure the xmb can be cracked just like on the psp.

Internet connections are getting faster these days so getting the games shouldnt take massively long plus you can rip the games yourself using linux

There is piracy on the PS3....I almost did it, but then I decided not to, as I wanted to keep my PS3 warranty.

There are multiple ways to get the arcade games for free by using URL methods to download the installers. There's quite a bit of info around the internet on how to do that, however for retail games, there is currently no way to play the backups. For the 360, no one has been able to find a way to crack the xbox live arcade games, except for the ones they released on DVD's. Both the Wii and PS3 can't stop people from pirating those games because of the method of download.

That seems a little daft when you can share the arcade games to friends for free anyway! up to 5 times isn't it?

I love how you people dont consider multiplatform games as games for the PS3 - they dont count in your twisted minds :s

Usually because we have to wait 1+ month longer for them to come out, the ports suck so far and the online play isn't as good.

Not sure what this guy is talking about, I know PLENTY of FTP's and Torrents with PS3 games on them... according to the folks who download from them, they work just fine...

I've got 14 games for my PS3. Thats not bad for a console with 'No games'.

Not bad for a console with 'no games' but BAD for a console that has been out as long as it has been.
