I recently saw a video of a guy who had installed YDL on his PS3. He then hooked up an external 1TB hard drive to it. He also said he had COPIED a game onto the hard drive. Does that mean that with YDL you can literally copy games onto the PS3 or external hard drive and then play it on for later use? Cause that would save millions of dollars on games considering I'm dead broke from paying for the PS3. Even though I got a sweet deal. "I won't copy games because it's bad"

We are not allowed to talk about piracy here on gamer411, but it is possible to rip your Blu-ray discs (that you own) to either your PS3's internal HDD or an external HDD using Linux. However, games are not playable yet. I have backed up my copy of Talladega Nights and also my copy of Resistance to an external HDD. If you are looking for more information on this topic, I suggest you google it.

djwhetzel ... any practical use for making a backup? wouldn't you need the ability to get that backup back onto a disk? or am i just naive to the fact that there are folks out there looking to use these backups w/o the need of putting them onto actual bluray disks.

Movies have a practical use, but games do not ATM. Slysoft just released an AnyDVD HD DVD/Blu-ray beta. If you have an HD DVD or Blu-ray burner you can make backups and burn them to disc right now or you can inject the key (keys are around if you look for them) and you can play the image on your computer. I am able to play my backup of Talladega Nights on my 360 (in full resolution).

I'm not sure where the games are headed, but the talk of a loader has been floating around for some time now. I'm not sure how the game image would react if burnt to a disc though.

Edit: I just noticed something. Why is this in the Nintendo DS forum?
