Gamers & nerds...

I was told and seen for myself a bunch of titles for PS3 pirated games, which they say can be played via USB thumbdrive - though each game is 20GB (approx.) in size.

Buying pirated game is a crime here in Malaysia.
..and, I heard some of them say that this USB pirated games can harm your console.
You can no longer log in to the WLAN / Internet (no more Play Station Home and downloadable demos)
You can no longer perform any software updates.
You console firmware will be haywire.

If you want to buy the pirated game, better don't~!
Buy ORIGINAL.. play ORIGINAL!!

It is?
When I bought the console, I heard nothing about pirated games - thus, I am very happy to know that finally ppl can no longer play pirated games, which make us feel more responsible when playing games

I have played game since the existance of Nintendo (Mario Bros., Donkey Kong etc.).. to Sega (Sonic the Hedgehog, Mortal Kombat etc.)... to Game Boy.. to PSP.. to Play Station.. to Play Station 2 and XBOX.. and recently Play Station 3.

I believe Play Station is the best console ever, so I won't be looking at XBOX 360 or Wii and also PC Games.

What is your justifiaction that this is old?

I think this is new to our country and sony must have do something about it...

Those who have been playing these pirated games, share you experience in this thread... so we can judge how bad it is..

If you put it this way then this thread becomes quite useless. PS3 did not invent the concept of original software, and piracy will not stop once it reaches the PS3. As much as you love the PS3, original games can still be played on other consoles. There's no reason to narrow the condemnation of piracy to PS3 alone.

Piracy to PS3, relatively consider new (few months old already tongue.gif)

but piracy in M'sia... nothing new

so how's PS3 piracy differ from piracy in other console?
It's all the same!

what to discuss here?

Nintendo suffers from piracy, they release new firmware to combat it
Microsoft also suffers from piracy, also release new firmware to combat it
Sony now the same, also new firmware to combat it

what's the difference?

Maybe for some the image of PS3 is too godlike & perfect, and always taking a pot shot at other consoles which are suffering from piracy
and now just couldn't accept the fact it ain't perfect anymore whistling.gif

Ok.
Thaks to both of you.

I have just heard the news that the pirated games cannot be played on the console having new firmware. It can ONLY be played on the consoles with older firmware (3.41 and below)

So I have to agree with you on Sony's style to counter piracy
