No lol, i have it backed up.

Nail polish? Why not spray paint? I'm going to the garage not my gal's makeup bag. :).

On Topic: This device is great and all but with it being locked to CFW users as of now,there will not be a huge demand until they have a hardware solution for the drive key.

Stay on CFW and enjoy backups and homebrew (and limited PSN at times) for no fee or enjoy backups with PSN for a fee.

yes but only those that have patches that are 3.56+

@bitsbubba, Oh, hmmmm So they are limited like the True Blue Dongle?

I have't gotten either, so I don't know of there uses, or understanding of them.

well not really 'like' TB as it actually unlocked functions not normally available but it is limited to as normal CFW with needing the NoDRM/DUPLEX/etc patches

i dont care about all this. X360key was a big flop because of the cost $89... this is another expensive device which is gonna cost atleast $100 which is again waste

Hehe, well, sure :) But if you buy games or movies as an investment, it wouldnt be wise to give to kids who threat the discs bad.

Expected Life span of a CD-R
"CD-Rs are expected to have an average life expectancy of 10 years"

Now DVDs and Blu Ray disc does have a much longer expected life span, but as i said they dont protect against that person who is using that disc or even taking out the of the PS3.

How many times have you seen someone wanting to put in a movie/disc in your PS3 and you have a disc in. They take the disc out and put it somewhere else not in case. Then you have to search and find it to see that massive scratch that of course messes it up somewhere in the game/video/song.

How many PSone games look like they did when there were first purchased? Sometimes many scratches doesn't affect a disc. but at times there could be one just deep enough or in that special spot where its a nightmare. I know i have came across many CD/DVD/Blu rays. that should work fine but they will fail at some point in the media. Look at rented movies as an example. Im sure everyone has had an issue someplace with a disc.

My point is this device isn't just for pirates. Some people like to protect the investments they have and not even have to worry about taking care of a disc.

Yep, that is one reason why i never borrow my games or movies to friends. I dont want to get the discs back with scratches, even very tiny ones.

I dont disagree with what you say, i know that such a device could have its usage indeed. I just mean that it will be such a long time before it comes really necessary (when original games discs starts to die). Right now it will become more of a "could-be-nice-to-have" thing, but it is possible to take care of the discs, even with kids in the house. In this way, the device isnt necessary at this point in time. The downside of releasing such a thing now is the piracy issue. Naturally it can be used for piracy even if it was released in 20 years from now, but then all of those games are pretty much out of production.

Looks good....
@aneesh
How is it a waste when it's a one time fee when 2 new games run you $120. I just bought GOW collection and it was $42 bucks

But you are right though. Mosts of CFW users (mainly all) are pirates so a pirate isn't going to cough up anything close to $100 bucks I mean 25% will but the 75% will complain and wait for a free solution. I would personally get this but I like having a physical copy of my game.


As for the talk about disc talk.... touch the disc by the edges and it will last you a life time.
