PS3 Cracked With USB Modchip: Play Games Without Original Discs

A USB modchip has recently surfaced which declares to allow PS3 users to backup their games to external storage devices! Not only this, it will also allow them to play games without the need for the original disc or simply now you can play PS3 games downloaded from the torrent sites.

Since its release, the PS3 has put up a strong wall against hackers. But now a group claims to have designed a USB plug-and-play device that defeats Sony’s copy protection. Yes, such a device may create a piracy issue for Sony to deal with. But that is a latter concern. As for now, the PSJailbreak device is intended not only to allow retail PS3 games to be played from a hard drive, but can also block Sony’s mandatory firmware updates, good for itself. For players with a curiosity in opening up their consoles for minor development, and not necessarily for strutting, it also enables the use of homebrew games and applications.

At least, that’s according to PSX-Scene and OzModchips.com, the latter of which posted a video of the technology in action. You can always watch the two minutes video at the link provided below:

However, the video uses a debug PS3 system, which has the capability to run unsigned code (including code from a USB drive) and load games from the hard drive without the use of any USB dongle. Note that! Sony is yet to comment on this. Perhaps that comment will come in the form of a new PS3 firmware update, I guess.
