Gran Turismo 5 - Preorder CHEAP $65

[Lorenz]

If i buy original games i get them from ebay. The last game i got cost me $65 (Buy it Now) including postage, at the time i couldn't find it cheaper than $119 in stores.

You can all ways...you know....mod your consoles

Only mod chip for PS3 has now been bought out by Sony (typical)!

Sorry dude i had to look it up and get back up to date with it all because sony buying out a factory in china that makes usb sticks just sounds dumb. I dont understand how a company can buy a business that is not for sale, unless it was a company which it wasnt. Good luck shutting down a factory or company in china. People still don't know who actually wrote the code or made the original device.

SO what sony did was make it illigal to sell it in Aus...like it matters. What the hackers did was make it open source and put it on the net. So now you can use a smart phone or a usb key to hack your ps3. Besides that you can still get the 'illigal' stick overseas. They have patched it in the latest OS update, but as long as you dont update it will still work. Just like with any hack its just a matter of time untill the OS update is patched aswell.

Sony did pump a lot of money in to making it PS3 unhackable, thats why it took so long to do it. Now that its done they are pumping even more money in to sueing everyone who is selling it overseas, even ebayers. As well as suing them for selling it they are trying to sue for the use of 'PS' in the name of the devise and software.

Sorry mate but it's also getting harder to find one overseas. For example, in Hong Kong which was once (probably still is), THE place to get any console modded, the local feds caught on quickly and raided all the shops which sold it. They've now banned the selling and importation of the device and anyone caught faces huge fines and imprisonment.

Yes, you could get away with using it if you don't update the ps3's firmware but then you wouldn't be able to go online for multiplayer, game patches etc. Though it's not really a big deal if you don't touch the multiplayer side of things.

Got proof? China has never realy done much to counter piracy, why would they all of a sudden raid places and imprison people over a trivial issue such as console modding. You can still buy Jailbreak online but its not needed anymore as you can use Freedom and Groove which are not illigal to be sold in australia.

Why do you think Hong Kong is the place to get any console modded? If anything Europe would be the place. Most hacker teams arnt even asian.

PS3 sux online anyway, thats what xbox is for.

I only saw it on the news on asian satellite tv. Don't know about the rest of China, but you'd be surprised how much the authorities in Hong Kong are cracking down on these things. They had the whole making it public sort of announcement, putting all the devices on display, bit like when our feds here make a major drug bust.

Well I've always had my previous gen consoles modded there cause it was a little closer to home. But yeah, I agree with xbox live owning psn. My ps3 gets hardly used at all. That may change however, once gt5 is released.
