Taker Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/playstation-3/news/ps3-piracy-it-begins-first-hacked-game-shown-running-on-unmodded-ps3/a-2011011012032459003/g-20060314115917309058 After last week's cracking of the PS3's master key, it was only a matter of time before the first full pirated game booted up on PS3. And... it has. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow has been shown running off a hard drive, with the PS3 convinced it's a PSN game. GeoHot, the hacker responsible for publishing the key online, may well be 'totally against piracy', but the pirates in question are gleefully touting 'GeoHot's custom firmware' as their springboard. D'oh. Fortunately for Sony, at this stage it's still a complex thing to do to get it running, which is well beyond the capabilities of 'normal' gamers. But now the dam has been breached, it's unlikely anyone's going to stick their finger in the hole because they're having second thoughts. Above: There it is - Castlevania installed to a retail PS3 hard drive like a PSN download game Now. There is a very strong argument for us not posting stories about pirated games, as it can only exacerbate the problem, so I won't link to the site that reported this. But the comments field there is an amazingly interesting read, if only as a study into human behaviour. Summary : PS3 will now able to run pirated games without being modded aka no usb dongle required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigsaw Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 The question remains, does the average gamer have the time or the bandwidth to waste doing all this when Sony could easily undo all of it with an update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony cannot do anything with update GeoHot has the root key and it might have spread all over the world through internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
