'sony Are Unable To Stop Playstation 3 Pirates'

Talking with GamesIndustry.biz, Walfisz - who had previously been an important player

in developing Ubi's new DRM technologies - suggested that since playing pirated games doesn't call for a modchip, Sony probably will not be capable to detect hacked consoles.

"If that hack works as reported, I do not believe Sony can regain any control," said Walfisz.

"And due to the fact it seems that users won't even demand a hardware mod-chip to experience pirated games, I do not think Sony will even detect which users to lock rid of PSN."

Although he recognised which the platform holder could employ tactics similar to those as used by Microsoft, these would probably be ineffective since users could simply take their console offline.

"They could make an effort to use a similar system to Xbox Live, in order that people running hacked systems won't gain access to PSN. But Sony probably will not be qualified to stop people from running pirated game copies provided that the machines are not hooked up online."

Walfisz's bold statements stem in the fact that the PS3's core architecture has become completely showed to exploit loopholes within the hardware itself, thereby limiting the methods Sony needs to deal with the issues.

"They way the PS3(cheapest ps3 games) have been hacked, it's now completely open. The hackers can establish pirated copies that completely mimic the official Sony digital signature, defining it as extremely simple to operate pirated copies of games, without necessity for almost any hardware chip modifications," explained Walfisz.

He went on to express that he or she feels the PS3 could suffer piracy issues with a level much over the PSP, which is notorious if you are extremely mod-friendly.

"I would assume that pirated copies might be stored on the HDD as well, which makes it so easy make use of that PS3(cheapest wii games) piracy, moment, could even surpass the handhelds."

The Ubi man suggested how the only strategy to this now's to revise the PS3 hardware itself, which would be considered a costly process.

"I don't think they will do much. Once a console is hacked this completely, the hardware manufacturer can't do anything. They can maybe update their hardware achievable console sales, which could be considered a long and expensive process, but that won't stop users from running pirated copies around the current hardware.

"And updating the hardware must be carried out wherein doesn't prevent users from running already-released games. I doubt you can do."

Several PS3(buy ps3 games) hackers are facing legal action from Sony.
