A friend of mine said that there's a PS3 modchip that plays SOME PS3 game backups, but not all the games. Is this true?
BTW, this thread isn't meant to start a flame war. So, if youre one of those who are flame war fanboys, I'll report you to have you thrown out. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

There's a method to play some PS2 backups, but that's the extent of it. And it only works for PS3s that can play PS2 games anyway, so... yeah.
On an unrelated note, you shouldn't go around threatening people that you'll report them and get them banned. First of all, you're in no position to dish out warnings, and second of all, those who are will just look at the post in question and deal with it accordingly.
Not that you did anything wrong or heinous. It just seemed like a bit of a moot statement to make when people should have already read the rules.
But I digress.
The PS3 hasn't been hacked in any "progressive" way yet.

Obviously, you don't know the difference between a threat and a warning. My warning stressed you for some unknown reason. Warnings are posted MANY times throughout this forum to WARN against flame wars. Maybe one day you'll understand this.
Not that you're not understanding. It just seems that you're statement is monotonous. And if my warning is moot, as you say, then it should've been moot enough for you not to commnet on it.
Anyway, I hope the PS3 modchip becomes a reality soon.

The warning did not stress him in anyway, he was probably wondering why some one would make such a weird statement.
""I'll report you to have you thrown out.""
That indeed is a threat.
""threaten - To make a threat against someone; to use threats; To menace, or be dangerous; To portend, or give a warning"
Anyhow as the other two have said, no there are no mod chips that let you steal games of the net and play them on your PS3 :)
I honestly hope the PS3 never gets a mod chip, i am happy with the things it can do now, it dosnt need to be modded/hacked.

I don't know about that...most of them would benifit from a PS2-hack, and the slims need a Linux Hack. Plus game sharing is almost a hack...in that you can get games for less than the price of a blank bluray disk.

I think hte PS3 should be hacked as I on the otherhand am not happy with what the PS3 does atm.
I thought the 80gb ones were inferior models to the first release ones but the slim is worse without linux support.
I dont think the PS3 is living up to what sony originally said it would be, especially since they took half the features most ppl wanted away. Therefore I believe if it is hacked the PS3 can then support homebrew which will make it more than what sony originally said it would be.

If nothing else, they need to fix their commercial...it still ends with "It only does everything"...and they know it won't play the thousands of PS2 games still available, and they know it won't run linux (they killed linux for no reason at all), they know it has no flash support, they know it will not clean your bathroom....

It plays PS3 games, it plays Blu Rays, thats all i need it for.
Game sharing isnt a hack, Sony gave us the ability to do it, out of the box and only a small number of Blu Ray games make it on to PSN.
I have a 60GB EU release PS3, i have tried a PS2 game on it, havnt played any for more than 20 minutes, so that ability is useless to me, it is also useless to the numerous amount of people who dont care about playing PS2 games on the PS3.
Linux, i have never installed that on my PS3, i dont see the need for me to ever do it, i have my personal computers for that, so that is another feature that is useless to me.
The removal of Linux and backwards compatiability was removed to save money.
I am happy that my PS3 can play PS3 games, i dont need it for anything else :)

sigh...does everything for me would mean that it played all video containers. If I need a separate device for that, then it doesn't do everything. Still happy with it though.

Im with Marcusita on this one... I use my PS3 for playing games, watching Blu-rays and the occasional DVD. I have no need for Linux, and i can play any avi's etc from my media PC which is linked to my TV anyway.
Yeh, I'd like games to be cheaper, but I'm not about to go and steal them instead of paying. Most new games in the UK are about £30ish. I think thats a pretty reasonable price to pay for them. Any game that isn't worth paying that much for probably isn't worth playing anyway, so I just don't buy it.
The only thing my old 40gb can't do is play PS2, but then again the only time I have ever wanted it to was to replay the older MGS games before MGS4 came out.

i think having a nonhackable console is good, i mean look at xbox and psp, with xbox, microsoft would ban ur console, and the people that play psps revolve around hacks, u go on there they tell u not to get a certain psp bc it cant be hacked. hacking lets in people who truly dont play fair, just buy the damn game it wont kill u, and not much good ever comes out of hacking.

Hacking is fun. But unless there is some legitimate homebrew that comes with it, I agree, not much good comes from it. Aside from the ability to play copies of games, the hacked XBOX was amazing as a SD media center. XBMC was and is still the standard in many areas. I was hooked on my hacked PS2 and XBOX back in the day, but I have no desire for a hacked PS3, unless it came with some wicked homebrew to add to it's media capabilities for my personal use. I've had opportunites to buy flashed 360's and chipped Wii's, but passed on them all. Just no interest anymore.

Thank you, marc. I would have said much the same thing, but you do a much better job at it than I could.
As far as hacks and homebrew goes, I think the PSP's PS1-play ability is actually not that bad of a deal. Granted, the PSN's evolved to include some PS1 games for the PSP, but in my mind, the PS1 library is just too vast and contains too many great games for the PSN. Playing Xenogears on a PSP would be very fun (save for the hours upon hours of text-reading that'd kill any PSP's battery life), and while the game-stealing would be a bit of a negative, it wouldn't deter me from ripping a copy of my Xeno disc - which is actually starting to shred off at the edges, that's how long I've had it and how often I've played it - to play on the go.
EDIT:
Of course, much of that is pointless because I don't even have a PSP (or intend on getting one) anyway.

How do you know it didn't stress him? Did he magically tell you this? Obviously, you too don't know the difference between a threat and warning. If you consider my statement to be a "dangerous" threat on a 9/11 scale, then you're scared of anything. People who lead this life aren't tough enough to step up to real obstacles in life.
On to the real topic, I heard that a couple of companies are working on it, yet, it is posing issues as to playing backup games. I hope the modchip becomes a reality so that people aren't forced to pay $60 a game, which is insane.

Well, this is what a company stated. How accurate they are is apparently up to debate.

What you said sounds interesting. Enlighten us more about this.

It does seem ironic on sony's part. And if you think about it, the way sony marketed the ps2 is almost opposite of the way it's marketing the ps3 now. There was much more freedom and flexibility for the ps2 than for the ps3. Weird but true.

Are you crazy?? "Just buy the damn game", in this economy? When games are set at $60 a pop? You gotz to be kidding us. Look... I had modded my PS2 years ago. And let me tell you, that without it, I would've been more than $3,000 poorer. Now don't get it twisted now. I'm not against buying games. But, I'm against buying EXPENSIVE games. And we all know that all the PS3 games are expensive as hell! If games were priced reasonably, say, no more than $25, then I'd agree in buying.

That's the price of the games. you must have known that before you bought the console. Do you buy a car then hope to be able to steal petrol becoause you think gas prices are too high?
It's not ok to steal things just because you don't like how much the item costs...I think £800k for a Bugatti Veyron is stupid, but im not about to go out and hold-up a showroom.

You did say the same thing. But, unfortunately, you and marc fell short at making a point and knowing the difference between threat and warning, unfortunately. Oh, well.
As far as homebrew and hacks are concerned, I heard that they do drain the PSP battery to a great extent, as we all know. I'm thinking about getting the PSPgo, but I'm not sure at this point. I first got to see if the games are good enough for the money.

The answer to your question is No there is not a mod chip that alows you to play PS3 games.
Ill repeat it so perhaps you will maybe, just maybe in some sort of strange manner understand what i and the others are saying.
THERE IS NO MOD CHIP THAT ALLOWS YOU TO PLAY PS3 BACKUPS.
Now im not going to fill a thread with trash talk, i respect the moderators here and dont want to bring them into an argument that is not needed, if you cant understand that a warning can be deemed as a threat, then thats your problem not mine, i will continue no further in this discussion with you, as your rudeness and disrespect is beyond me.
Oh and a last note, $60 is very cheap for a game, i pay about $70 and im happy to do so, i respect the games developers, i want to pay them for their hard work, if you cant afford a measly $60 for a game, sell your PS3 :)

ibizagti, before you go bald by becoming hysterical, relax first and listen. Go back to my post. I said that paying $60 per game is not good in this economy. I may be wrong, but you sound like you got no responsibilities in paying rent, bills, mortgage, kid's expenses, etc. People who are hardworking are saving their money and praying they don't lose their jobs. The unemployment rate is in the double digits and climbing. And here you are complaining about the low cost of a game. So, considering the HIGH cost of living now, $20 or $25 per game sounds affordable given the recession. And, you should know that the game developers are milking you and me dry. Everyone knows this... some people don't have the capacity to understand these things.
And, I wouldn't buy a car to steal petrol for free, even if I could. I'd buy a hybrid car and save money on the fuel. People who are smart do smart things.
