I could also arrange my ps3 and hdd like that and take a picture...

In the picture they are using an ide hd with a simple PC sata adapter.
This is bizarre ...

well my take on this... is meh, well people will be able to finally play all the games they want without waiting for a group of corrupts to upload their eboots, or rather not uploading their eboots, while they wait for people to buy their games on disk for a dollar or two, or seeing threats from tb developers to other dongles users that decided to go for another product, also cool a device that you will be installing in your ps3, that won't bring malware its good for a change, this is the good part.

The bad part is actually this, this won't bring anything else than piracy, it won't even help us 3.55 users that decided to stay for homebrew to play new games, this will not bring homebrew to a 4.11 machine (or whatever the version it is when its released) this will also be used online and will ruin online play for everyone.

well this is all assuming its true XD

also hope its not some more true blue ****.

lol jrtux you spoiled all the fun

I just noticed:


in the second pic the Sata controller is going into a PHAT ps3 apparently clipping into the area that is the HDD bay.

In the following pic of an old PHATTY you notice the BD drive is the opposite side of the HDD bay.... Now is this a deliberate mistake, or is it to do with the motherboard's position because does the BD drive connects via cables across the internal span of the PS3? I didn't think it did??



It doesn't make sense to me to "go in from the side", and definitely not that side... from the back or direct to the drive itself a more obvious approach.

Could anyone who has open up their PS3's and know the insides like the back of their hands clear this up? I've only opened up one before, and cant remember where everything was exactly...

EDIT:

this shows the BD drive connects closer to the back of the PS3 PHAT, the power supply is closer to the HDD bay.. hmmmm...

Perhaps when they finalize the design, it will be pushed into the HDD bay? but then where will the internal storage go...?? this raises so many questions!

Below are some concept pictures (not actual finished product pictures) from their site and the details, roughly translated as follows:

well if this is true the sony will be breaking out even more lawyers lol as they will somehow want to stop this because the pirates will have basically won if i am thinking properly.

I mean bypassing the BD reader is one thing all together but to use a HDD instead that loads backups great.Does anyone else think OFW with this installed and pirate online gaming will be happening all over again and i no that it did with CFW 3.55 when it first came out but what could sony possibly do to stop this apart from attempt to fix with updates?

what are your ideas on how you think they will fix this?

I hope that this is not TB trying to be idiots all over again i mean dongles a one thing but to ruin the game play for everyone well that's just not even justified.

I mean sure what there doing now really is not helping any part of the scene apart from there financial side for them.

Here's hoping that this is not true and that the scene is still here for some reason and not let it end up with piracy all over.

Give me CFW with homebrew any day of the week

I don't think it will ruin online play as you would be using this on a ofw machine, and there for have no home brew cheat enabler. Although it will allow piracy, it is a nice feature to not have to rely on disc's for games. Don't get me wrong, I want some form of physical media. Digital copy only is asking for trouble (didn't get a PSP go for that reason) who are they to say what machine I play my purchased games on.

and everyone said the ps3 scene was dead....this is what I'm talking about...
