lolll this is a real IN UR FACE to the "
Koller: No more backwards compatibility for PS3" post..... yeah will see about the no more backwards compatibility for ps3
so free trophies?
i know everyone is wondering about this...so can u play copied/backup games? ps3 or ps2..
Seriously Qj, why would you even say anything about this? We just got some great news about the PS3 a few days ago and its going great, finally starting to whip the 360 and what do you do? Advertise a piratechip for the PS3? The 360 got enough of this crap, don't help make the PS3 the new "pirates console".
if its a yes..wow..now that will boom ps3 sales..
xbox and wii got it thats why both r beating the ps3...but now with the price cut and maybe this..ps3 will surely beat even wii
its still beta and who will risk getting there PS3 banned online.... i would prefer a CFW instead of chips anyways...also "completely upgradeable firmware, via Belzars usb 2.0 interface" does that mean you cant update from official server?
LOL how much is it for Blu-Ray blank media and a Blu-Ray burner? Would this even be worth it? Buy your games kids.
how are they advertising it? we don't even know if its true or not.. and if u dont like news like this then get ur ass out of qj.. To find out about mods and hacks is what ppl visit qj for... they havent just started this with the ps3.. y dont u just go on a different forum like us.playstation and chit chat there..
I don't think anyone else is wondering. It says so right in the list of features. lol. Anyway, I'm thinking it's not true. But if it is, I'll soon have a second ps3. Too paranoid that modding will affect my psn account.
Voiding Your Warranty! Sounds like a good move...
but, wouldn't (import) part mean that you could load them from an external drive?
My warranty is dead. Just paid them $150 for a refurb and a generic response email. Now that warranty is done, too.
I hope this is fake.
But if it's not, a lot of people wouldn't risk modding their PS3. I didn't even risk modding my PS2.
Either way, a Blu-ray burner is about $200 and a 10 pack of Blu-ray discs is $50... not to mention downloading the games... it wouldn't be worth it, in my opinion.
That's a lot of bandwidth you're wasting. Also, wouldn't you rather have the original copy instead?
So the blu-ray burner sitting in my computer and the ten 5 packs of BD-Rs are useless then? damn :(
HL-DT-ST BD-RE GGW-H20L ATA Device
$10 a game is much better than $69.99 genius.
i vote fake, its kinda suspicious that this is released near the slims release and a lot of sony going ons :)
Why don't you just learn to PAY for video games?
Even if this is real it probably won't work on the new slim. This is most likely for the older generation PS3s with backwards compatibility. But if this chip can make PS3s backwards compatible then damn that's one hell of a great job that they just did.
Downloading some PS3 games will be a problem and time consuming. 360 games already reach 7.29GB it'll be worse for some PS3 exclusive games that uses more. Seriously MGS4 is 50GB or so they say.
Are you braindead? It says so right in the description.
That's exactly what it means. If this is real and hits the market sony will immediately put out a firmware update to patch whatever exploit it uses plus they will start making games require a certain firmware to be played. Similar to the psp except games can be patched after release so every game in the library would require you to update. They would have to rely on this guy constantly patching his mod chip so they can play new games for free.
Honestly I don't like the idea of pirating on the ps3. We actually get some pretty cool g ames because nobody can pirate. Just look at what happened to the psp. Devs stop developing for it and sony spends all of their time making security patches instead of cool updates that the users can actually see.
Anybody that would buy this is the scum of the earth and the leading supporter of casual gaming. They don't pirate and their games are easier to make. If you actually bought No More Heroes, they would have stayed on the wii for future titles.
When they say import, they mean games from other countries.
how is that possible? does the modchip emulate the EE chip? if it does, how? from my understanding is the first model could play ps2 games cause it had ps2 hardware in it and the later models had some sort of software emulation going on...
there is nothing on the website, no pictures, no nothin. Just a quick paragraph about history and a quick rundown of what they claimed can be done. Honestly if they were able to do this, then their website would have a little more work in it.
I just browsed their site and I can safely say, that this is the fakest bullcrapery I have ever seen with my eyeglobes.
Apart from what QJ has posted in the jump, the only other info on their entire site was a small history of their company;
Belzar. was formed in late 2000 after its founder, a qualified electronic engineer could make big money repairing, and designing new security features for mobile phones After working for various companies like Sagem, and Nokia, Belzar decided to go it alone, and 2 years ago we were asked if we could bypass a security system rather than design it.
And an email address you can email them at.
This is the i.load all over again, you can all trust the Captain when I say that you shouldn't hold your breath on this.
Dude, you are aware that the PS2 compatibility thing will still probably depend on if your PS3 has the emotion engine installed or Software emulation.. It simply means you could play backup PS2 games without toil. :/
yep and those with software emulation dont play all games and the ps2's Graphics processing unit: "Graphics Synthesizer" video memory bandwidth was twice that of RSX at 48 gigabytes per second so i dont think this will actually give non BC ps3s BC
Dude, chill out. He never said anything about if this was true, he'd use it to pirate games? He, like me and everyone else that reads this, is interested in this rumored modchip, that more than liely doesn't even exist.
Modchips have nothing to do with what console wins. It's mostly price and gimmicks. Though, I think now that the PS3 is lower, it should start doing a lot better.
As for the Belzar thing, it's fake. Most of the "region free" stuff they list is already in it except for PS2 and DVD. Not only that, but, who would actually buy it considering that most pirates don't even have a bluray burner because they refuse to spend money on stuff.
lol deadfetus. But seriously, what LEGITIMATE use would this chip be? To make "backups" of Blu-Ray games? Who in their right mind would go out and spend $300+ on a Blu-Ray burner and disks just to make backups of games that cost less then $60 and have an extremely slim chance of breaking? In all my many years of gaming, one disk (a PS1 game) became too scratched to play, never before, never since. How often do originals really get broken? Now if this chip can run homebrew, it's a different story, but piracy is just wrong and the whole "backups" idea is more pathetic then the pirate who says its true. You know, if it weren't for all of you pirates out there we would probably be allowed to copy game disks to our game consoles and not need to insert the disk anymore, but of course that will never happen, because we got people in this world who will spend $300 just for equipment to steal video games, but no one who will ACTUALLY PAY FOR THE GAMES.
I got one for $200.
It's about 48.6GB. And double-layer BD-R and BD-RW discs are F***ING EXPENSIVE.
July 1 2009: "Belzar public release delayed, due to a bug that seems to cause the console to crash when using the latest PS3 firmware"
August 18 2009: "The Belzar modchip beta 2, has now been sent out to our 50 beta testers, for final bug testing"
Wait, wait, wait, WAIT. They were going to have a PUBLIC release BEFORE they BETA TESTED?
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ake.
ill probably get this when my waranty is done
New Windows new beta. Kinda like saying Windows Vista beta then scrap it and then make Windows 7 and beta. As you can tell it says beta 2 they most likely had a beta 1 until they realized that it was getting messed up with the new PS3 firmware.
Pay 300+ for a Blueray Burner??? Were in the hell have u been looking at??? Bcz F.Y.I.
I can get a Blueray Burner for 140 bucks! which according to ur price, I could get 2 BD Burners. Bestbuy has 2 one for 140 and the other for 220. Dude get the price right.
and Pirates, yea I know its wrong and has an impact to everyone. but reality if there waz no piracy, business could charge more for their games if they wanted to bcz we would have to pay their price if we really want their game. as well they will never allowed backups to our consoles. bcz then u can switch games with friends and back them up. Which is still "ILLEGAL" so basically no matter what there will always be piracy. and stop being stupid, Their will always be people who pay for their games. Its like a friend, he has homebrew in his PSP and gets the game, but if he really likes a game, he goes and buys it bcz he likes owning the game, for Ex. FFVII Crisis Core, and now he played the Japenese Game of Final Fantasy Dissidia, and now he wants to buy the Game U.S. Region.
Original Games get broken? I got my A.R. Max broken by my nephew and had to replace it. as well on my PS2 I had 2-3 games that the disc became too scratchble that I had to take out the disc and reinsert till the ps2 detected them, adn then 1 game it frozed at one part bcz there waz a scratch on the disc.
Even and imported game is still an original. They are using the wrong terms if they don't mean that you can import the game from a drive. Of course, reading the site, their English is pretty questionable. Another reason I doubt the validity.
This would make me actually want to turn on my ps3 instead of just let it collect dust. I dont have a blue ray burner but it will still be cool to have a chipped ps3.
Probably a fake, and who would go thru all the trouble to pirate PS3 anyway? 20gb at least per game (any idea how long that will take to download?), 20$ per disc, 200$ for the burner, plus this risk of burning out your ps3 and getting banned? I don't think its worth it overall. I still would prefer a CFW, since it would unlock more features like homebrew and region free instead of just flat out copied ps3 games -_-
Thought this was fishy, so I decided to dig. The site was only made on the 17th of August this year. I wouldn't hold your breath on it being real. Here's the domain look-up for you non-believers too. http://whois.domaintools.com/belzar.com
Enjoy.
I think you're greatly overestimating how much the ability to steal games affects console sales. It's only marginal, only about 2.5-5% of people mod their consoles. Look it up
This whole thing is fake:
1. There no pictures, no descriptions, no nothing....
2. No "awkward" USB device, but the firmware is upgradable via Belzars USB 2.0 device?
3. plays Multi-region DVD and Blu-Rays? These are blocked via the Software, not hardware.
thnak sony for the missing domcoment , no you can see salles chart going UP very hight .
A modded PS3 with AL does freaking games is the real deal , but balzar made a big mistake by releasing this news now , they let sony make big changes to their kernel hope they cant stop it .
Guys just dont preorder if its real we will see it big modchip sites , if its real they will sign contract as suplier for them , yes just wait guys dont preorder .
Pretty weird to see so much complains about the size of the games to download. Which year is it you live in? There is fiber now (60-120mbs)... So sell your 56k modem and download Blu-Ray movies and games of 40 gigs in about...2 hours? And then buy a disc for $10 and burn it? Wake up guys...soon it's 2010.
SONY THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR REMOVING THE OPTION TO INSTALL LINUX ONTO THE PS3 haha
It's FAKE!!
Look here: http://www.whois.net/whois/belzar.com
The site was created the 17-Aug-2009.
No photo, no video, nothing...FAKEEEEEEEE!
There are obviously faster methods of connecting to the internet. But not a lot of people use fiber optics internet due to the fact it's either not available in their area or the price is high for some people. We all obviously live in the same time, people just aren't high nosed such as yourself.
I also like all these people saying "now PS3 will beat 360". WTF? Do you seriously think selling more consoles is winning ? and especially if you are selling more only so people can play your games for free ?
Do you people not remember the dreamcast ? There was a reason it went under so fast. You didn't even need to mod the freaking box at all to play burnt games. Just use a bootdisc, and eventually even that was done away with.
Sony, MS, Nintendo start off losing money, then make abit of money of the hardware, but only sell that once. The majority of their money is made on people buying games, especially first party ones, throughout the consoles life.
If people aren't buying games for the system I can guarantee you each company respectively would rather that person not have their console.
hi, i'm mar. i like playing football and playing guitar. i also like games very much. there are alot.
sometimes i go out, or visit friends. this also costs money.
i spend my money on paying for school, rent, instruments etc
i prioritize spending money on things that are good for my personal growth.
Instead of supporting sony, try supporting your life.
if you don't understand what i'm trying to say, i'l put it differently,
STFU and suck mah godamn bawws.
You just described 90% of all the modchip websites on the net. No photo or video. The proof is going to be when the resellers have it up for order.....or not.
that makes no sense at all.
look
july 1 2009 - belzar PUBLIC release deleayed
august 18 2009 - belzar BETA2
same bloody chip
obviously fake
you dont have a public release before a beta
it had to be tested
So because you have other things to spend your money on you think it's OK to steal things you don't need, and that aren't for your "personal growth"?
Perhaps Blu-Ray burners came down in price, I wouldn't know, I have no use of that kind of storage because I dont steal games. And as for people that just pirate to "try out" a game, most people could care less about video game companies. If piracy was more widespread, 90 out of 100 people would pirate games thinking that "the company has enough money". Its that logic that completely *****ed up the PSP, but did the pirates learn? No. And as for scratched up disks, oh well. Take better care of them. If your LCD TV gets scratches all over the screen because you were an idiot and used Windex, does that entitle you to a new TV for free?
this looks kind of suspicious because they should know how to write it properly.
You all know the next day this is available, Sony will deploy a firmware update, and all new games will start to stop working with this chip. We are in the "Online Instant Firmware Update" era, not using our old PS2 with one and only firmware that never changes ...
I'm hoping this gives opening to an actual PS2 emulator on the PS3. That's my greatest outlook on any type of external source of firmware. Or at least some more options in the Game Settings menu! The upscaler is terrible.. even VGA's output better. If they fix that then PSX games would look better also seeing as they use the same options menu.
Perfect PSX and PS2 emulation = Bliss.
being from Australia, there is actually a lot of US blu-ray movies I would like to buy, which aren't available in region 2 (Aust/Europe). This modchip would allow me to play any movies I buy from the US.
There's a legitimate use for you
I'm a being serious too btw. I have heaps of imported US dvds, and some US blu-rays which are region free, but many aren't - Donnie Darko for example.
the main ones complaining are the ones who do the damage....they just don't want anyone else doing it so they'd have it to themselves. With the 60 dollar price tag on games, any little kids trolling around our delicate equipment, backing up your games shouldn't be such a big deal.
If you don't care about my opinion that is fine, just thought I would say someone.
Well if the chip is in fact real (Congrats on the people who programmed it and figured out the hack, its been a long process). I for one would not be backing up my PS3 games anytime soon. Ok so lets say this works, and I install the chip (without f***ing up my PS3 in the process). I go out and buy a Bluray burner (average 130-150 USB on ebay). You still have to buy the media (25pack for around 60.00 USD and that is the cheap brand). I would not want to shell out 2.40 USD each time I don't burn the game right.
I am happy sticking to waiting about a few weeks or a month after the game is released to buy it almost half off. In the long run I keep the original games.
That aside I would not have to worry about any banning issues (like the xbox360 has). You can't prove or disprove Playstation banning your system online or not, due to the fact no one has proven a working copy of a backup game, let alone the mass of people testing it out like guinea pigs until people start getting banned left and right. It might take a few months before anyone would get banned (that is if they even do).
I am just to stick to buying original PS3 games (as this is my only system I purchased original games for,and I am happy doing so).
