Do you have any more info on this besides "i was just there"?

 

[Bladexdsl]

go look for yourself at the penguin bar if their not there their not anywhere. i've also checked at least 10 other sites and also usenet even googled it (and found a few cool ps2 iso sites in the process) they are not there. those images are Photoshopped!

Be more specific, I am looking at the images and I don't see anything yet to show they are photoshopped.

30+ GBs to download a pirated game? That's the most brilliant Anti-Piracy tactic ever!

Being hacked would be a good thing for them. Look at PSX, PS2, Wii, all hacked to shit, all dominated in sales in their respective gens. Sony should just sell the PS4 pre-hacked.

They tryed that with the psp, didnt work out as great as they expected.

Unless it's usable in one way or another, I'd say it's moot. If it even is a clean rip.

With growing connection speeds thanks to fiber optics being used more and more, it's more of a time issue than anything else. Just like DVD sized movie rips weren't that popular at first, but now most are done at that level at the minimum (compared to the CD-fitting formats of circa 700mb) thanks to growing connection speeds.

Nice info tidbit: With a 50/10 connection (quite a typical starting tier in fiber optics here) it would take a few days, a week at the most to download the said 30 GB if the stream was constant with high rates. Probably even less.

I've come across ISO rips of Wii U games, FWIW
They're 25GB (scientific GB, whatever that equates to in 'GiB') in size - at least New Super Mario Bros. U was. Not like I could actually do anything with it, but I downloaded one for kicks to see if anything would open it, and of course it wouldn't.

no public tools can, but it's possible. You can decrypt it using the key they provided in the nfo to list internal file's structure http://pastie.org/pastes/7760175/text

30GB is nothing if you like me have a 200Mbit/s connection.

You sure about that? I seem to recall one of Sony's execs saying they were actually making lots of money from PSP piracy because everybody was buying the systems in order to hack them.

Interesting. How are people even ripping Wii U games? Special Blu-Ray drives?

It would take a few hours to download with a normal connection (50)

its weird everyone seems to have such a rubbish connection, well Sweden for the win XD

How did I manage to derp that..? Probably due to having done a research paper for 7 hours straight in the morning. Good point!

1 hour and 20 minutes at max speed, apparently. (gotta love that site)

Xbone discs being worked on now though

 

[Satangel]

Definitely true & legit, but it's just a nice gimmick atm. Nothing can be done with it yet, but hopefully someone can do something useful with them.

Thus dawns the age of cheap Chinese homemade clones

Combine this with 3d printing... and anyone with a $1,000 printer and CAD experience can create an overheating PS4 clone.

Uncharted 3 is ~50 GB
So it's not that "brilliant"

Yeah, the metal gear legacy collection is about 65 gb so huge file sizes are not a deterrent, especially with dedicated seedboxes and scene topsites that are internally connected to isp networks

Don't know if you know this, but Sweden is actually one of the best, if not THE best country in the world when it comes to Internet connections

Seeing as the files are pkg I am going to assume they came from Sony's psn servers rather than a bluray disc. Still useless for now anyway
