A deep look into my crystal ball has shown me, that it is very likely, not quite sure, though.

I wouldnt look for a chip until at least 6 months to a year after launch. PS2 was hard enough to crack at first. My guess is PS3 will be alot harder.

With time, anything can be cracked. Look at starforce 3 for example. But enough time and effort into anything, and it will be cracked/modded.

Well we would have to wait and find out what the PS3 will be like. More than less the ps3 will be modded. But as far as playing the copied ps3 games on your new ps3 might not happen. Far as I know (I could be wrong on this) but I think ps3 is using an new DVD format called Blu-Ray. And I think the Blu-Ray is from 24-52gbs an disk. And to find an Blu-Ray burner that will burn 24gbs dvds won't happen for an long long long time. So unless the modded PS3 would end up playing games on an Internal Hard Drive I don't really think backup ps3 games will happen for an long time, if not ever.

If the mod chip did load ps3 games off the hard drive like Xbox does, you would need an 500gb hdd, and that could run you around 200.oo+ USD, and if the games are 24gbs each, that would let you store around 20games, and that is even if the new Ps3 would support the standard Internal IDE HDD.

So only time can tell.
(I could be wrong on some of this information, so if someone could correct me if there is an problem please do so)
