PS3 Game Backups Released, File Sizes Explored

November 28th 2006 | Games Consoles

The console hacking types have taken it to the PlayStation 3 and have successfully created disc image files of games. By using an install of Linux on the console, games such as Madden 07, Resistance and Genji have all been ISO dumped and released on the Internet. Being images from Blu-ray media means that we’re dealing with current file sizes between Madden’s 7.08 GB and Resistance’s 17.53 GB.

The console hacking community may still be a long way from cracking the PlayStation 3, but the investigation into game files is the same way that the PSP homebrew effort began.
