Likewise I guess you don't know that even if you own the game and it is 3.56+ it requires a patch to work on 3.55 and below or a higher firmware. If you go out to the store RIGHT NOW and buy a game that does not have a patch for 3.55 and below, you need a new CFW. So stop with this new CFW = piracy. It's bull****. Why should people have to buy a second PS3 just to enjoy gaming on a machine that is built for gaming? I mean seriously. People *****ed at Sony when OtherOS was removed as it was an advertised feature. Nobody said "buy another machine." Now when an advertised feature is removed(game support) instead of people saying it should be looked into, now it's "buy another machine." This scene has seriously changed. We went from having one overlord who we wanted to get out from under, to now having a new set of overlords. Last time I checked we all hacked our PS3's to have the freedom to do what we want with it. Correct? So then why are people so opposed to us having the freedom to do whatever we want now? Look I'm grateful to Gitbrew for releasing this. I really am. Likewise I'm not blaming Gitbrew for this stupid mentality, but enough is enough. New CFW =/= piracy. It just doesn't. Do this, go out to the store and buy a new game. Say for instance Resistance 3 since it's out today. Go home, turn your machine on, and try to play it on a CFW machine. Does it ask you for a higher firmware? Yes? Then how are you a pirate? Did you just go out and buy that game? Yes? Then how are you a pirate just because you want a higher CFW to play that game? It just doesn't make sense. Piracy means that you downloaded a game. How has the definition now shifted to mean if you want a hacked machine to play a game even a bought one, you are now a pirate? Oh and before anyone says it, yes I've admitted to piracy. But and this is a big but, I pirate as a means to try out the game. If it's good I buy it, if it's not I don't and delete the game. But this isn't about me. It's about the general notion that if you want to play games on newer firmware your automatically a pirate. So that would means every person here who wants to play Resistance 3, UC3, or any other game that comes out, is now a pirate if they wanna play on CFW. Do you see how stupid that is? I understand people getting frustrated with idiots coming in here and saying "this release is worthless, I want CFW." But that doesn't mean you should partake in the stupidity by saying "anyone who wants to play newer games = pirates." Actually yes the 360 scene has accomplished just as much if not more then the PS3 scene. So has the regular Xbox scene. Or have you forgotten about JTAG, the reset glitch, and Ixtreme? Or all the homebrew and emulators?
