If piracy was a factor PlayStation 3 would be market leader.

It is 100% guaranteed that any game you make on the PS3 will NOT be pirated. Yet we still see games like Burnout Paradise/NBA2k9/RE5/SFIV/GTAIV going full multiplat. Imagine R* making the GTAIV PS3 exclusive billions would have to pay for it even the most hardcore pirate dominated areas like China and Russia. Just imagine the market penetration. One wouldnt be just limited to USA/EU/Japan but go truly global.

Actually you can burn and pirate Ps3 games, the firmware crack was released 2 months ago, I posted asking what people thought about it, it got locked but yeah.

I've been able to rip and play Ps3 games for awhile, though there hasn't been much to do that with lately.

blu-rays have been cracked for a while now, and the biggest reason why they dont pirate blu-ray games is because its easier/faster to do using the DVD9 format. Please stop making threads about this, its the same recycle topic over and over.Dante2710

Here is the link to what i was talking about, they extract the bluray movie, encode it in AVHCD (mpeg4) and sell them as "HD discs" because its too expensive to buy the discs. So what is the explanation for games other than lack of consumer interest??

lol what a bunch of fanboy rubbish.....

PS3 is unhackable(as of now)yet software sales are far FAR superior on the XBOX 360 (which is very hackable)

What does this tell you?

just cause bluray gets cracked doesn't mean youll be able to pirate games. The ps3 has part of its cell dedicated just to system security so I doubt it will happen.

How to get past Blu-ray protection for films.

1) Get a Blu-ray disk drive.

2) Use AnyDVD HD or a similar program to remove the Blu-ray DRM and rip the Blu-ray to HDD.

3) Use a compatible program to convert the Blu-ray film into a suitable HD format, I use Badaboom to convert to 1080p MP4.

4) Enjoy your DRM free HD film.

Anyone here with a Blu-ray disk drive can do this, there are trial versions of both AnyDVD HD and Badaboom for people to try it out themselves. This is perfectly legal; as the law dictates you can make a personal backup of your films, as long as you don't distribute you are fine.

The only reason PS3 piracy is not rampant is because it is impractical to distribute those massive disk images over the internet, few people can also afford a Blu-ray disk burner at this time. It's easy to get past Blu-ray protection, PS3 piracy is just not practical.

I have to agree here.

Many of my friends would've bought GTAIV for PS3 if it was exclusive, instead they just downloaded it for the 360...

Same with DMC4

Same with RE5

OH well

If piracy was a factor then ps3 still wouldn't be market leader.

1.ps3 games aren't good enough to make it market leader.

2.if ps3 is unhackable then piraters aren't gonna buy ps3 they are gonna buy 360 to get the games they want pirated.

3.no ps3 sales to those pirates means no market leadership.

Piracy isnt how the adverts make out. People arent buying burnt discs from sellers, they are sitting at home and downloading over night. It can take up to 10 hours to download a 700mb movie depending on the sharers. Why on earth would anybody spend days downloading a PS3 game?? Especially when the larger the file the greater the chance it stopping or you are caught by your ISP.

DVD size downloads are the sensible limit at the moment in the piracy world. Anything larger and you're being a Muppet.

I find amazing that the console where a lot of ppl only buy pirate games is still the one where games sell better!!! Very impressive imo

cause ps3 is the best, unhackeble machine. the best it gets

The point isn't pirating, the point is 45 million combined base > ~20 million base on a cingle console.

So it really cheaper to pay $60 per game? A BR RW is $180....a blank disk $8 do your math. Im amazed how people deny and damage control.....face it the PS3 hasnt been cracked regardless of thousands attempts in 29 months....True_Gamer_

i don't think so...

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=165699

now, granted, the first link is for BR Movies, and the second still has a ways to go, but it has, indeed, been cracked.

secondly, if a pirate was trying to make money off hacked games, why would they want to even bother with PS3, when they can pirate 360 discs substantially cheaper?

Yeah, thanks to that rampant piracy on the Xbox 360, multiplatform titles on the PS3 consistently outperform their Xbox 360 counterparts! High Five!
