Backup games...when will they arrive? How is someone gonna do it? Will it even come? How long do you think its gonna take? I'm really wanting to know when it will happen, because now that the PS3 is getting much cheaper, I'm thinking about buying one, but not until backup games run on it.

It's only going to progressively worse with future consoles. :(

Well an uncrackable system will fail miserably as well, so I wouldn't be thanking god for that.
Modders are the trend setters for videogame systems. Killer apps help console sales, like what we saw with Halo 3, but also when the discovery of an exploit is revealed system sales also increase. Friends of the people with modded systems get to see the games that otherwise would not have been purchased and as a result go out and purchase their own system, but many times these people are afraid to mod their system so they continue to buy games. Look how well the PSone and PS2 have done even with mod chips and exploits. Same with Xbox and xbox360 and the Wii.
Its bad when a system is too easy to exploit like the Dreamcast with a simple rip and burn, but its also bad when a system with $60 and $70 games cannot be cracked.

I think that after PS3 gets hacked it sales would go up greatly. I have tons of friends just waiting for the crack to buy PS3.

Exactly, and even then some people will legitimately buy games that they want to support.

Thats probably aimed mostly at me, lol. I very well could be wrong, but if you look at the correlation of exploits to console sales it would seem the evidence points in the direction I was going. ...but who knows?
X360 - iXtreme1.4 ||| Xbox - EvoX Dash ||| PS2 - CC 2.0 PRO SLE ||| Dreamcast ...lol ||| NDS - Acekard 2/M3 Simply/EZ Flash 3-1 ||| Rooted HTC Hero with Ic3rom

I definetely agree because check out what happened with the PSP slim as soon as Team M33 A.K.A Dark_Alex came out with 3.71 M33 the sales went sky roketing...Its true if sony somehow leaked a exploit in thier console there is big money to be made...if they don;t....NINTENDO WII HERE I COME!!! lol

I dont think that the PS3 will be cracked. I dont have one YET, but i plan on though. Sony already got beat in the PSP scene with exploits and stuff so you know that they made it so that the PS3 wouldnt ever become homebrew enabled. Dont quote me though because I also thought they wouldnt ever come out with a PSP unbricker.
PSP>2.0>forgot sum>2.81>3.03>1.5>3.03oea>1.5>3.40oea>custom theme semibrick>3.40oea>3.52 M33>1.50>3.52 M33>1.50 addon 2>3.71 M33>3.71-2 M33

So where does all your wisdom come from? Oh yes, it must be because you are a moderator and therefore cannot be wrong!
Well I think you are and the guys following you rpost are correct. Many people buy consoles only when they can play backups because they cannot afford the expensive games. Since they wouldn't have bought the console in the first place if games weren't able to be copied, the console makers make money in this way. They cannot lose out on sales they would NEVER have had in the first place.
If companies want to reduce copywright theft, they MUST reduce the game prices. It is the ONLY way and all consoles at some point WILL be cracked. It is just a matter of time...
The increase in sales discussed earlier is true, the figures speak for themselves. In England, there has been a big increase in people taking consoles back to shops and reporting them faulty soon after purchase. Why, because they all have BenQ DVDs which currently cannot be flashed (although likes all others, soon will be).
This wisdom is supplied from experience, education, intelligence and better than that it is FOC.

I'm impatiently waiting for this also, the moment I hear that the PS3 is moddable, I'm going out and getting one within an hour.....until then, 360 all the way.
My regular Xbox has been the center of my entertainment system since 2003, can't wait for the 360 (or PS3) to be be able to run homebrew so it can take its place.

well, we can just wait to see wat happens wen the action replay is made for it. Usually, for consoles, the action replay has been a way to softmod them. So hopefully, one for the ps3 will come out soon and it will give us a way to do wat we want to do.

The issue is that the games are on BLU-RAY You will need a BR disc to put the back-up on ah ya and a BR BURNER check out the prices on them...its still cheaper to buy the games.
The hackers(sub-gods in my book) need to get the BR drive figured out, sony is still having that problem.
It will happen, just give it time.
As for the modders making an impack on the sale of systems....unlikely...modders are a drop in the the olympic pool. Yes you may know lots of modders but thats only b/c thats what you do and what you look for in peers.
Its like DLing music...yes thousans and thousands are doing it(more so than modding)yet the music industry still thrives..
just my 2 cents

Your first point is quite correct and I remember initially when dual layer DVDs were very expensive as is any new technology.
On your second point I do agree in part but I do feel that modders make a difference. However, it is important to remember that these people would not buy systems otherwise. Not everyone earns a good wage or indeed works!
It does surprise me when I go into music and game shops/stores and I see so many people buying the genuine article and this makes me realise that the copying community is perhaps the minority.
My stance is that I buy PC games and backup console games as I am less into this form of playing games. Having said that, I am well impressed with Xbox 360 games and hope to enjoy PS3 games in future. Until then I still have my trusty PS2 and of course my NASA/Military specification gaming PC!
If game sprroducers want me to buy everything, lower the price and I will be at the front of the queue :)

Not all people have fast internaet connection to download 25GB games either let me tell you as i still have friends who have dial-up...and they have to go rent the game and then copy on their computer and play like that...so if they do come up with a PS3 hack we would HAVE to go out and rent it and then burn it cuz there is no way i can wait that long...to let my back-up download...so if we rent it the game industry is still making money as it costs like $6 - 7

Unfortunatly I don't believe the cost of the rental goes to the gaming companies it goes to the rental company.

A fraction of the profit of rental ALWAYS goes to the author! It is the basics of copyright.

Not only that, my rental shop gets as many as ten copie sin of games that are expected tobe popular! So, the game producers are getting more back than if I simply downloaded the games!

Using your "logic" about wisdom then the same could be said about your own post. If you don't know who or what exactly I am speaking about how could you accurately speak as if you "know"....so again I reiterate - So many misguided and misinformed people it amazes me. The next time you specifically try to disrespect me or anyone else in this manner you will have some time off.

It's so nice that we live in a world of free speech!
Well oner, I don't mind one bit. Do you really feel an adult like me would worry about being banned from a forum? Like it's really gonna affect my life in the slightest?
If you only want to run Forums where you get to say what you think and flame anyone else, fine have it your way. I'll take part in adult forums elsewhere.
Enjoy the power while you can for outside is the real world where I have no doubt you are a nobody!!! It must be nice being you:)
