I found out a couple days ago that they finally hacked the PS3, there was a hack before but you had to use a dongle and it had a lot of limitations I guess. This new hack is a custom firmware that you load and play the games from an external HD. I've been playing the new Need For Speed off a flash drive with no issues, you can even update the games and play them online. I've done 2 so far and had no issues at all. You can even download the game off the disc into your internal HD. I'll post up a link for the tutorial if anyone is interested. The most current firmware is 3.55 but they say a new one is coming out anytime soon so don't update to that one because it's not hacked yet.

My system is a launch day 60gb and I modded it. I figure its going to fail eventually so with games not playing off the blu-ray drive it'll extend the life by a lot.

If you have any computer skill you could do it yourself, you just need to update the system with custom firmware from a memory stick and then install 2 programs. If you don't feel comfortable doing it then I'm sure there are 100 people doing it on craigslist now.

Sony just released a new firmware today, the guys are working on making a new custom firmware right now so hold off on trying an unlock and don't upgrade to 3.56 yet.
