This summer the PlayStation 3 console was finally jailbroken. Which means that the relatively piracy free system was made able to play downloaded titles directly from a user’s harddrive.
While I’m not all too familiar with the actual process of hacking the PS3, YouTube user CHRISTECHTV is. In this video he demonstrates his Playstation console hacked with a custom firmware that allows his system to bypass any security and requirements to upgrade to the newest firmware 3.50.
Unfortunately, the only people that win here are people that don’t want to pay for video games. Developers and those that spend their time making games for the PlayStation 3 lose out on potential sales when someone downloads a game for free.
