From the first day of release, www.ps3hacks.net will be looking for talented coders to work on dev projects. Think you can cut it? contact an admin at their site.

If the ps3 gets cracked as quick, its just going to own.

uhh.. people have been playing backed up games for quite some time now. My friend has had the serial ata adapter for over a month now. He made an external enclosure that connects to the 360 via serial ata, then he just tranfers the backup copy of the game from his computer to the external HDD and connects it to the 360 and uses the bootloader to play backed up games.

Why would you need soldering though.
If they updated the firmware of the dvd drive, then they just run a software boot disk in the drive......
I still gotta see a method to do this, and verify it to believe it.

and..

the bootloader enables you to have the external hdd hookup so it recognizes the device to load the games. you can find the bootloader on mirc.
