Where is the Playstation 3 modchip?

Where, oh where, art thou?  I am looking for you, PS3 modchip.  Can ye be found?  I’m wondering where it is and why it’s taking so long.

Well, no, let me reiterate that.  I wonder if Blu-Ray is proving to be the cause of no modchip.  You see, Blu-Ray has a disk limitation size of 25GB for a single layer disk and a 50GB limit for a dual layer disk.  That poses a definite problem.  Not only would you need an insane amount of disk space to rip the disk, along with some way to do that, which as far as I understand, has not been found yet.

What other delays could be causing a modchip for the PS3 to appear?

Modchips are innovative pieces of electrical engineering craftsmanship that I have used to my ability in the past.  They are worth their while although at times can be a pain to install if you don’t know what you’re doing.  I would be surprised if we see anything for the PS3 within the next six months to a year.

The Nintendo Wii and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 have already been “hacked” so to speak in that they have ways to play “backups.”  The Wii hacked via a modchip installation and the Xbox 360 via a firmware upgrade to its DVD-ROM drive.  However, both game machines use regular DVDs as opposed to the PS3 which uses Blu-Ray disks.

So, who knows, perhaps we’ll never see a modchip or hack for the PS3.  In that case, everyone is going to have to deal with scratched disks.

    ha ha that’s funny.

    i don’t think it’ll ever happen… the cell is wayyy too complex. and even if they did mod it what are you going to do? download 50gb of data and copy it ALL to your ps3?

    thats why you go and spend about 250 on a 1 terabyte external hard drive like i did. Even if all of the games you “backup” are 50gb you can still get at least 20 games, and rumor has it someone has one out but i have been unable to find it yet

    a Mod chip has come out, however you have to solder it into the ps3. who wants to start to solder. Just wait until one comes out next yr, that no soldering is nessary.
