I guess this is important enough for us Xbox folks also!
here is what i found on Afterdawn.com forums....
Tonight CJPC had some freetime and decided to install Linux Fedora Core 5 (PPC iSO) along with PS3 Other OS Installer and the kboot from the CELL-Linux-CL_20061110-ADDON.iso file. Once installed (Installation Tutorial), he logged into the shell and dumped the Extended OS Area (which resulted in 4.0 MB (4,194,304 bytes) by using: dd if=/dev/sdb of=/extendedos.img
Next up, CJPC connected his external USB HDD to his PS3 (since he only has a 20GB stock PS3 HDD) and just (6) days after launch proceeded to dump (read "back-up" to $ony) his Madden NFL 07 PS3 Blu-ray Game Disc (the resulting iSO image is only 7.08 GB (7,597,719,552 bytes)) via the following: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/mnt/exthdd/imagename.img
If you happen to own a 60GB PS3, you can use this command instead to dump directly to your PS3's HDD: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/imagename.img
As we mentioned in our Past News, the PS3 Blu-ray Game Discs are currently not readable via Windows Blu-ray drive... however, the Blu-ray movies image fine on one of course. With that being said, the PS3 Blu-ray Game Discs resemble the PSP file format. See for yourself- here are the: Madden NFL 07 PS3 FileList.txt, Madden NFL 07 PS3 ICON0 pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3 PIC1 pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3 PARAM.SFO pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3LOGO.DAT pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3 USRDIR pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3 EBOOT.BIN pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3 Partial iSO Files pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3 TOC Size pic, and Madden NFL 07 PS3 UPDATE pic.
As many recall, the PSP scene began with Paradox dumping and releasing the first PSP UMD iSO images, followed by several other release groups and finally the first image lanchers to play them following shortly thereafter. How long will it take for PS3 iSO images to hit cyberspace? Time will tell, but after this Site News post it won't likely be long! Let the PS3 Game back-up experimenting begin guys!
Getting back to the topic, here are some additional pictures from Madden NFL 07 PS3 courtesy of CJPC: Madden NFL 07 PS3 pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3 DATA pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3_DISC.SFB pic, Madden NFL 07 PS3 EBOOT.BIN pic, and Madden NFL 07 PS3VOLUME pic.
In other exciting PS3 news today, Radiskull let us know of a new AdvanceMAME .106 Binary For PS3 released by Jurai. It is basically the emulation code you'd need to use on the Linux in your PS3 to run arcade games, minus any ROMs, and please use our AdvanceMAME .106 PS3 binary is out! for related discussion.
on another note , a Self -booting Linux disc is currently in development for the Nintendo Wii , in case some of you didn't know about it , more information is available here >> http://www.wiili.org/Main_Page

Ya, read that a couple days ago. Also seen the iso's on the newsgroups.
Also, swapping out that 20/60 gig is as easy as removing a screw. The ps3 uses a 2.5" laptop hard drive. Swap out drives for a larger one, ps3 reformats it, poof.... it works like stock.

And once people start doing this alot, I hope Microsoft will release a dash update that supports this as well for the 360 drive. Makes perfect sense now that the movies and TV are on marketplace.
Also, since they are releasing the ps3 .iso's I guess people still have no way to burn them yet. Do you burn them to Blu-ray or DVD+R DL. How do you play the darn thing? I don't think they are yet but I guess people just want to collect them until the day that they can.

Aye people are just releasing the PS3 iso so other people can have a look at them, maul around with them, try and make firmware/chips that will play them. Same way the 360 started. Infact the 360 still cant play Raw dumps of games, I think the PS3 iso's that have been released are actually Raw dumps. Be intresting to see how long it takes the modders to get the first Ps3 back up working. I am saying 6 weeks lol

I'd guess 1 month. With the easy HDD upgrade path open, I'm sure homebrew isn't far behind as well.

Yeah I defo cant see it being much more than 4-8 weeks, 8 being the very latest lol. I dont own a PS3 so Im not too bothered, just curious too see what the hackers can do. I reckon it will be a soft mod firmware flash or bootloader type root that will be the first breakthrough
