[citation][nom]silluete[/nom]there is almost no pirated ps3 game in market(since price of blueray is atronomical) maybe be sony have find the most good ways against piracy put the product in special media(blueray) that only can play on special player(ps3) and u got a anti piracy media, well maybe there already pirated ps3 games out there i don't know[/citation]
Interesting idea, Sony does that often with it's products, and I never buy Sony products because of it, whether it is locked as you say or open, simply because I refuse to support their business model of proprietary everything. I am sure people want to buy products that are locked into single devices like you say. I mean, I sure would want to buy a music album in 5 different formats that are locked down as opposed to being able to buy one album and port it to the devices I want it on.
PS3 gets cracked all the time. People hack the PS3 itself, add in a larger hard drive and play games that have been hacked. There is no way to make an item pirate proof, every method takes the rights of the consumer away, thus reducing the value of the product, thereby making pirating more appealing to more and more people.
The reason these companies are losing money is not piracy, it is a shrinking target market. They all want to get that specific age group male/female, completely ignoring the rest of the population. Because the sell less, they blame piracy, but piracy today is no worse than it was back in the 8-track days. To these companies all forms of fair use is piracy. I record a radio station broadcast, PIRACY. I copy my CD into MP3, PIRACY. I record telivision broadcast, PIRACY. I take my VHS collection and turn it into a DVD collection, PIRACY. I duplicate my DVD's and store the originals, PIRACY. I want to duplicate my game CD/DVD and store the original, PIRACY. Every last practice I am talking about is ligitimate fair use of the product according to the supreme court and the law of the land. Every peice of DRM and anti piracy is nothing more than Digital Rights Theft by the companies.
