why oh why are people so stupid

- All those games are on PSN store, infamous has a full game trial on PSN Plus atm
- that console could still be a dev unit, they are sold on ps3 hack forums all the time.
- the PlayStation 3 name is just on the plastic cover & not the actual console itself, you could slide the dev cover off (it says Playstation 3 test/test unit) & put a normal one on

am i the only one whos skeptical?

Urgh. So shortsighted, someone needs to go to specsavers. This is alittle more than piracy. Being able to have your games on the system, and a possibility for homebrew aswell.

Homebrew = Good. Piracy = Bad. However; seeing as these two very often tend to use the same devices and my faith in humanity is near zero and there are so few homebrew devs compared to the number of pirates out there forgive me for reaching that conclusion. As for having them on your system, why should that matter? There are these things called discs that are normally within three feet of your console; it's not that much effort to get off your bum to change them.

Maybe so but ease of homebrew has hardly hurt the Wii any.

You're not a proper gamer if you don't want to take as little effort doing something. I'd much rather just choose a game in a menu and play it than figure out where I put the game, put it in, wait for the PS3 to recognise it and have longer load times for it.

That's because there's little worth pirating on the Wii if we're honest.

So your justification for all this is "I can't organise for toffee therefore I'd much rather have a machine do it for me"?

Partly though the shorter load times is a bigger draw for me. But let's just ignore that.

You really can't be that impatient. I can't imagine anyone who would be. Somebody get this kid a Commodore 64 and show him just how good he has it when it comes to loading times.

I expected you to be a little less dumb. What the hell. Improvement is always good, that's why we have HD consoles now and aren't still playing with PS1s and N64s.
