PlayStation 3 / PS3 Has Been Finally Hacked to Run Games Without Original Discs

To quote: "Sony and Panasonic have announced that they have developed a new optical disc evaluation technology that will allow the layer capacity of Blu-ray media to increase from 25GB to 33.4GB using existing Blu-ray laser diodes."

So you wouldn't be downloading anywhere near 450gb per game for along time xD

How old is that?

Bluray's are 50GB already.....

If they have to make 1:1 copies to get them to work,like the original games, it would be a 50GB Bluray, just like you see "Full Bluray's out now" right?

They have PRE'd PS3 games (anywhere from 8GB-20+GB), but who knows if those will work or not.

who ever buys this has got to be f'in dumb. its a lot of money for something that will work until Sony upgrades the firmware. Great achievement but I wonder how long it'll take for this to hit the internet anyway lol

Some sites are listing it for pre-order. £92 and a date of August 27th

From what I gather, it's the real thing, and it sounds about right. If it does work, I know one more PS3 that will reminisce upon moments of going online in-games.

Although, this seems much less elaborate than geohotz' work.

just wait
hopefully price will drop to $20 :)

That price tag will go down. Just wait till someone starts messing with the dongle. Ill give it two months. Maybe. All I have to say is who the hell is geohotz?

That's a fairly new article. And 50gb blu rays are dual layer. That article is refering to 33gb per layer.
