It's why this new people want it for warez!
I would love to see the homebrew potential of the PS3. It IS the most powerful next-gen. The good thing is that it wouldn't be very hard to port a linux emulator to PS3 since it already is PowerPC architecture. I would definitely install Ubuntu :)
Also, emulation would be fantastic. We would easily get full speed N64 on that. I'm sure the programming for PS3 can't be much different than PSP, so porting Daedalus would be pretty easy, especially because it is open source.
Think of this:
Three generations of homebrew on one console, PS1, PS2, and PS3. Plus, it would be easy to port PSP stuff over too. That would lead to a ton of homebrew.
Pirating PS3 games would be difficult for most people though, due to the size. Most people wouldn't upload the games because of how large they are, and people wouldn't want to download them either. That is very good for Sony :)
Could be part of the reason why hackers are working on it, but its not something I do. All this time of having a PSP with homebrew, I haven't ever downloaded a retail game.Quote:

Yeah the main reason people want this is for warez.
Hmm. If this leads to homebrew or DAX hacking it...I may buy a PS3
dax has his hands full. don´t expect to see any more releases from him, and don´t be surprised to see more releases either. i doubt he´d get his hands tied in with ps3 custom firmwares. there´s nearly 5x the firmware to hack, and then there´s the programming differences....
SAWEET!!! I could play FFXIII like half a year before it comes out in the states! In all honesty, it'd be great to DL all of the japanese RPGs im looking forward to, long before I buy them in English. That saves me from having to wait for long importing.
But really, think of the insane possibilities for this. You could play PS3 games with your PSP with remote play, play nearly every system imaginable on it, and soooo much more. my God, please let this work.
They wouldn't need to download it, they could just rent and rip it themselves.Quote:

As for the hard drive size, you might want an increase. I would recommend:

It's very easy to upgrade the HDD on the PS3. You can get a TB for around $300.
