Why of course there are many ways to copy PS3 games, just take a look at Game Copy Pro and Copy That Game, those definately can create a copy of the original games.

Haha! Well your question was answered truthfully. I'll save you some time and let you know there is no current way to PLAY those backups.

Yes you can with the PS3 Swiss Army Knife but you won't be able to play them because the PS3 won't be hacked till December 21, 2012.

I thought it would be hacked when hell freezes over or when The Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup

12/21/2012 is when the world will end so that is probably when it will get hacked.

Short quick answer is no.

Dont you think if that was possible,it would have been done a long time ago.

The earth will likely implode before Toronto wins another cup.

No you cannot back up games downloaded from PSN, if you could people would be putting their games on the internet available for download. And that would be cool.

Well that tool backs up saved data from your games and I think it also backs up pictures, music, and movies but im not too sure. This topic has sparked some curiousity, tomorrow I will use that tool to make a backup and I will tell you exactly what it does.

A bit off topic here, but notice how on movie DVDs it states at the back that the copyright law also implies that it cannot be shown in schools or other venues, well then how many primary schools have been taken to court over breaking these laws?! I dont know about you but we watched movies (on VHS then) at the end of term and especially just before breaking up for xmas. Surely these industries are "losing revenues" from this sort of thing? :P
