PS3 faces piracy threat
Ever since it launched, the PS3 has been a target for hackers that tried to find a way to make the console work with pirated video-games. Until this day all their attempts failed, but it seems they’ve started making some serious progress.
Just like with the PSP, hackers have found a way of running video game code from external and internal USB drives, without having to modify the console itself. Although this only works on Test PlayStation 3 (a developer version of the console), it’s still a great breakthrough for piracy, hackers can now analyze how the PS3 handles the data, and come up with other developments.
Still the Sony can lock down the PS3 with Firmware updates and, large video-games downloads are sure to lower the pirates’ moral.
