Sony could fix this extremely easily. Disc-based patches. Basically make a patch to stop the dongle from doing it's thing, release it as a normal patch, but also put it into all new games, making it autorun once the game is inserted, and if you cancel it, the game doesn't play.

Problem solved.

See feature 4 above.

Not only that but Nintendo and Sony did the same things with the Wii and PSP. Once you can run unsigned code, you can modify the disc contents to not run the check for software updates.

Probably won't be able to go on PSN once this is popularised though.

The thing is, hackers can bypass this. The way they do it on wii, is they create "safe updater" programs that will update the files you need to play the new games without killing the mod. And as stated, the mod will probably block all disc updates.

Sucks that you can't just soft-mod it though. I'd hate to have to hard mod my wii.

But yeah.. downloading ISOs and playing them off my HDD for my wii has been the greatest thing ever. On top of that, the homebrew apps can do so much.. play old school games (SNES, genesis, etc.), install operating systems, play third party games, purchase DLC content for free etc...

If I had a PS3 I would definetely look into this. My wii was a paper weight until I homebrew'd it up.
