Ok guys, take this with a grain of salt or two. This hacker called StreetskaterFU over at PS3HAX has apprently found a way to load Blu-Ray games off the PS3’s hdd. PS3HAX has confirmed as the claim being legit and people are actually confirming this hack as been working.

Well it sounds too good to be true, but if its really workin’ then its great news ‘the scene’. Currently its stated that the hack works for older games only. Games claimed to be working with this hack are Warhawk, Gran Turismo 5, COD3, MotorStorm & RFOM and that both legal and illegal copies can be played (should be bad news for $ony). Check out the following video of this hack in action if you want want to believe.

No PS3 price cut anytime soon. “You’ll be disappointed”, says Sony

Sony responded to the recent rumours about a PS3 price drop by saying those coming to the upcoming Games Convention to hear about a price-drop “will be disappointed”. You heard it peeps, Sony’s pretty confident about its business and seemingly, doesn’t feel the need of dropping prices anytime soon (unless of course, Micrsoft tries givin’ them a tough time by lowering Xbox360 prices first).

There were similar rumours about Xbox360 price drops a few weeks ago, which MS declined happily. Looks like both companies think they are doing great business, with Wii still selling more units each unit than MS & Sony can ever combinely wish.

Good luck Sony & MS, hope to hear something good from you too sometime soon. Oh, and by the way, those of you planning to visit the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany, it’ll be running from August 20th through 22nd.
