Blue Disc Recorder

[KaneUK]

What snake2 is referring to only applies to Playstation 2 games. To begin with, you need to insert a genuine PS2 game belonging to the same region as the PS3. So if you have a Japanese PS3, you need a Japanese PS2 game (initially).

Creating and using a switch which you can find on the web, allows you to "switch" the disc without the PS3 knowing any disc has been ejected at all. You can then insert a genuine or copied PS2 game from any region and it will play on any PS3 console.

This only works with what I will refer to as first generation PS3 consoles, as newer PS3 consoles like the new 80GB and 40GB versions have PS2 compatibility removed completely, so this only works with 20GB and 60GB PS3 versions.

As far as I am aware, this method does not work with PS3 games. Copying the Blu-ray discs themselves isn't the problem, but the PS3 can still recognise a genuine Blu-ray disc from a copied disc. It's the copy protection mechanism which is coming into play. Any copy protection mechanism is breakable however, purely for the fact it has to be read by the PS3 to play. The PS3 itself would need to be modified in some way - firmware or hardware.

Of course it's breakable..Thats where the modchip comes into play..reading the backups..Personally PS3 lacks too many titles as is but only b/c its kinda fresh on the market..Give it time I think it will catch up hopefully anyway..

Otherwise 360 will kill it..Personally I don't have a preference on systems rather I'll purchase both..
