Not at this stage.. hopefully in the end it wont need a chip and it will only need a firmware upgrade to hack it like the PSP... that would be nice...

But short answer is no, not yet..

($100 games are killing me aswell, im up to 9 games.. :) ) lol

You can check the latest progress of mod chips from http://www.ozmodchips.com/, but as nitestalkr said b4, there are no mods for the PS3 yet, mainly due to the fact that BR have several different copy protection mechanisms.

& since PS3 have no game region, its gonna hard for mod makers to find a "reason" to get them to be legal, as for other consoles the main "reason" was to play game from another region.

But we all know, what the true use of a mod is :)

Wondering if the PS3 has a mod-chip available. As the $100+ games are killing me.

use ebay and i am sure you can half it,

Would be cool if they were able to hack it like the original xbox could. I had a massive hardrive and the right software so i could juts put a game into the xbox and copy it to hardrive and then walla i had it stored there for good and it played so much quicker then disk. Video ezy was my best friend back then.

Now a days i dont mind spending the money on a game and i think you appreciate them alot more.

Yeah thanks for the feedback guys. We'll guess i just have to pay full price for games then :O

I guess from now on i'm buying games from EB, coz they have a 7 day return policy if you don't like the game, beats buying a crap game and being stuck with it...then again EB games is very expensive :P

I just want someone to hack the linux to allow full use of the processor and the graphics card on the non-PS3 OS... so much more potential with linux/other OS once that is achieved!

apparently my brothers friend has his ps3 modded. I reckon he is talking shit though. He says he cannot access the playstation network at all with it. Thats enough for me to not want one.

Heres my 2cents :(

Its not gonna happen anytime soon my friend. Ive got a feeling they will find an exploit with a PSP with a Sony f*kk up on a future PS3 or PSP update. Allowing the PSP to hack the PS3 maybe?!?( just an idea :P ) Even if it were a simple .ISO loader to the PS3 HDD id prolly go out and buy a PS3 2moro.

But heres the reality, 1st thing to remember is that a 25GB blank blueray disc(Ritek) goes for around the $15-20AUD mark, so copies wont be cheap.

What about the games larger than 25GB(MGS4 for example is alot bigger than 25GB), anyone got prices on 50GB blanks? Best ive found were Panasonics which were $30-40(USD?), but would u really want to use cheap media and make $30+ coasters?

I could be wrong, but from memory the PS3 can(will be able to) handle 100GB discs, if the PS3 gets modded and Sony start to lose software sales, they could force the developers to uncompress all the data and put all games onto 100GB discs and just let the consumer wear the costs, which id imagine may only be a hike of $5-10 on a stupidly priced $120 game.

But the costs of the blanks would render piracy useless, well for awhile untill prices of blanks drop.

Lets say I am wrong though, do u still wanna pay(lets say someone else) $50-70 for a copy of MGS4???

I think an .ISO loader to the HDD would be the way to go, hard drives are cheaper than blanks!

Shoulda bought a 360 or a Wii :)

LOL with the way Nintendo are acting, they support piracy!!

(what a joke the 3.3 update was)

Heres another LINK stating that Kojima had to compress MGS4 to fit the 50GB disc!!

Or a computer + net connection = all your games could be free... :P

This comb is severing me well atm XD

Just for the records, out of all the PC games I've bought (only ~ 5) I regret buying 4...

The other reason why PS3 is hard to mod is purely due to the # of copy protections put into the Blue Ray format, if I remeber correctly theres atleast 4 main types of protections in BR (as oppsed to the now deceased HD DVD format which only had 1).

Had another sniff around looks like Dark Alex(The master responsible for your M33 Custom Firmware on your PSP's) is starting to work on the PS3, this is awesome news and CFW may be here sooner than I thought. Looks like homebrew is 1st priority, but "homebrew" basically = everything IMO anyways.

LOL any1 wanna buy a 1TB HDD full of PS3 games PM me (JK :/ )

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      As someone who has been playing with turbo things for some time now, be prepared for this to not be the first time feeling this way    I'm busy as atm, but if no one else covers the things I'm realising are worth mentioning to you then I will when I have a chance as it seems like I overestimated your knowledge on how turbos and wastegates work.  Otherwise I recommend having a look around how wastegates and boost control work, really anything on understanding the general mechanism of boost control as it will help you find the answers to the questions you're looking for.  Your initial question jumps some fundamentals.

      we can only guess exactly what happened from our keyboards, but to me it looks like they were targeting 27 but the wastegate was too small or poorly controlled and the boost crept up, that is quite common

      Good points!  Took those for granted - though I *did* actually give an example of winding boost up more than it had been before where I wasn't actually specifically looking for more peak power.  The Toyota Starlet dyno plot that I shared and mentioned showed an overlay from the previous tune it had and the one I'd redone, I left the boost targetting the same as the old tune but then after peak power I ramped boost up by a good 5psi or so over what the old tune had at the same rpm. The reason I felt comfortable with this (though the owner of the car had a "are you sure?" moment when I suggested it) is that the setup wasn't turbo limited, it was largely head sealing limited and the owner was a bit concerned as for the last few seasons he'd had issues with head lifting - sometimes not completing an event without having some headgasket issue, so he didn't want to run any more boost than it was. The reasons I was ok with raising the boost a good 5+psi MORE than that was that I left it where it was in the middle, and only increased it where VE (and therefore cylinder pressure vs psi) were dropping hard and I didn't stop the torque from dropping, just reduced the drop.  Well, there is that and the fact that the previous tuner had it overtimed by near 7degrees at peak torque - but that's another story haha.    I didn't really go into detail about that "turning it up more" thing but now you've mentioned the "not detuning", sometimes the boost *can* be turned up higher than you'd expect if the setup allows for it and you do it smartly.  I've tuned things to run 30psi on BP98 "safely" that a few years ago (or still?) people would cry that it was a stupid idea - but given they were well intercooled, low EMAP turbos and only doing that kind of boost where VE is dropping etc I was pretty confident it wasn't as cowboy as it sounded at face value and we never ended up with issues as a result of it.
