ps3 getting pirate copies in peru

Yesterday i went to buy a new copy of Fallout 3, and some salesman told me that in 2 months he will be selling a chip at $300 that will turn the ps3 to run copied bluray games, but no online play.

I am peruvian and i am sick of piracy. I have already spend more than $800 in games and i am proud of it, i would never turn muy PS3 into something illegal.

Thoughts and comments please.

Here in Peru, piracy is very common, let me explain , right now the wii and the 360 are hacked and play pirate copies, thats not all, 4 moth ago they hacked the psp-2000 and now the psp-3000 allowing the user to download the games to the memory card instead of buying them. It is a very profitable busines and i know they are not amateurs. These people here create their own hardware, they dont buy a common chip from a chinese factory and modify it (i saw it on tv), I am completely aware of the situation but nothing can be done because sony here has no official ps3 subsidiary so there is no one to go and tell they are selling pirate copies, so no legal measures are taken.

PS3 is being hacked right now in peru and i completely believe it. The same happened to me when i sold my 360, i was about to sell it and a salesman told me that in one moth it will be hacked and he will be seling the chips, anyway i sold it to buy my ps3. And now the same happens, one salesman tells me that in 2 month he will be seling a PS3 chip.

This hole situation is just disappointing, but i`ll continue to buy my originals.

please forgive my english, im not a native speaker.

PS3 pirated games? how is that possible.. i thought the measures sony took when designing the PS3 was the prevent piracy..americahellyeah

With electronics anything can be hacked. That is why they constantly update the firmware to plug up these kinda holes.

definately buy oringinal dont get tht pirated crap

If the ps3 could play copied games then it would be selling more than the xbox360 but it hasnt been hacked yet so it want play copied games and that it isnt likely to change for a couple of years.hurray for sony and down with piracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!conistant

PS3 can't play pirate copies , and theres no freaking chip for it .

Anything that has to do with piracy is the link.:D

report the funkin crunt as if sony isnt in bad enuf shape as it is.its ppl like dat peruvian fella that are costing sony so much.report him immediatlydannyflynn08

its not only in peru, it also happens here in colombia, and almost all the countries that dont have an official sony subsidiary, also for the big taxes added to the games, thats why i import them, but im not gonna go deeper. like someone said, the ps3 is an electronic, and it can be hacked, and they will sell a chip and pirated games soon, i was wondering why they took so long to hack the ps3, just another proof of why the ps3 is the more reliable system right now, i hope im wrong and ill really be glad if in a near future i see a gamestop or more official sony support in southamerican countries and others that dont have it

YESTERDAY I WENT TO BUY A NEW COPY OF FALLOUT 3 , AND SOME SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT IN 2 MONTHS HE WILL BE SELLING A CHIP AT $300 THAT WILL TURN THE PS3 TO RUN COPIED BLURAY GAMES, OFCOURSE THIS GAMES WILL NOT PLAY ONLINE.

I AM PERUVIAN AND I AM SICK OF THIS PIRATE STUFF. I HAVE ALREADY SPEND MORE THAN $800 IN GAMES AND I AM PROUD OF IT, I WOULD NEVER TURN MY PS3 INTO SOMETHING ILLEGAL.

THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS PLEASE.

I know many people who bought xbox instead of ps3 because with 160 euros you can play any game that you want and they dont care for online play and instaling games on hard drive. So yes a part of xbox's success is because it can be very easily hacked.LordfOlympia

they hack the 360 and wii in a matter of minuts. o_O crazyy. lol, and there you go now you can buy a 3 dollar copied game =)

Its not the worst logic.The psp is still selling because of pirated games.The ps2 is still selling because of pirated games.conistant

I wonder if he has a pirate ship and a pirate hat and pirate's booty.K1LLR3175

Many countries sell pirated games. Just don't buy them. If you're really against it, report them to Sony.ItsEvolution

Chipped PS3's have been around for some time, quite similar to the chip that you happened to stumble upon. The trick though, is enabling online play. End0mOrPhinE

A ps3 with no online is useless to me.

that lik for ALL pirated game ~

its not official so you cant go online with it

anyways ~ i wonder how they can have a chip ?

i mean are blu ray hacked now too? i wonder how they do it !

well wii cant be pirated lol nintendos that good you cant even use action replay on wii any more after the 3.0 u menu , ,or somthing like that, the 360 can be but theres a catch microsoft can shut xbox live down on your ip if they catch ./scan your console for that stuff so ya theres measure, and if you pay 50 you wont get it back because they ban you ,

im sure sony does the same thing as microsoft . also theres no action replay for any of them any more,

i hope im wrong but sooner or later every system will be hacked, chipped or modded, whatever. like the other guy said a gaming console without online in this gen is totally useless, we have to take in mind a lot of things, updates, DLC, online multiplayer, co-op, well at least for 360 and ps3, dont know about wii since is more a family system, but you get the idea.

and yeah, MS can ban your ip if they found you are playing with a pirate game, but there is already a virtual chip that avoid that not in a 100%, sooner or later you get caught lol.

A modchip does currently exist for the PS3, however I think the audience is for people who want to flash the PS3 bios with homebrew and use it for other purposes besides playing "back up" games.

As an earlier poster mentioned. . .the big minus (besides cheating developers out of lots of money) is chances are high that you will get banned from playing online. MS played dumb and many of the users with DVD firmware moded boxes thought they were getting away until one day MS just started banning pirated boxes. Was really interesting reading how they figured out which boxes were moded. Won't surprise me if Sony is/will do something similar.

Moral of the story, might be fun to be able to play "back up" games and pay little to nothing, but eventually it'll catch up to you and you'll end up with a box that can't go online. Considering how most of the games get patches online and have a strong online component, losing the ability to go online takes away a lot from the PS3.

yes here in peru everything is possible
