Hmm, not sure if this is good news or bad to be honest.. could encourage online cheating.

I follow him on twitter and he has been on about this for a while. The guy is an uber geek, but he has skills!

Problem is a pirate ps3 game could be upto 25GB. Who has the bandwidth to download many games of that size?

25GB on 50mbit = 1 hour 15 minutes give or take.

 

[The Ironist]

For the lucky ba*****s that get it. But surely there is a bandwidth cap still e.g 100GB

And don't you know it

Try being on 100mb/s... its actually boring. You don't even get a chance to preview a song when your downloading it. That use to be the most exciting bit.

I used to be on a 4Gbit/s fibre link at work.. songs used to download before you clicked on them

hmmm very interesting to see whether this is genuine, i take my hat off to him if he has, i thought the ps3 would be unhackable throughtout its lifespan. Microsoft must know a good portion of their console sales are because people could flash and play pirates. I wonder whether it would boost ps3 sales.....a bummer for game publishers though so is swings and roundabouts

Shouldn't the US military employ him lol, could put his skills to use!

i was gonna say he could make serious money doing these sorts of things but i bet he makes enough to satisfy his curiosity anyway.
