Can you download BD games onto PS3 hard drive? - Blu-ray Forum

Pilam69 · 07-27-2007, 11:56 PM

If so, how? If I download NCAA onto my hard-drive will it load faster and reduce menu lag?

Edit: Sorry, BD games, not online games, cause I have those downloaded already. D'oh.

lol! no... no you cant. cause then people could just rent blu-rays and burn them.
Why do you think HD-DVD is failing? i've downloaded 3 HD-DVDs already... the matrix, matrix reloaded, and unleashed.

Im not telling you how, since that could lead to this thread being closed, and me being sued...

Currently the game must be designed to install to the HDD, either automatically as you play or as a menu option to install a large chunk in one go. If you're thinking of the methods of installing PS2 games to the PS2 HDD, there's no way of doing that yet.

That sucks but I figured as much. Sometimes I wish I was a hacker.

lol. a 50GB game on your HDD... nice.

PS. Sorry about the last post. I though it was asking if there was any way to rip blu-ray movies onto your HDD

No you can't copy your Blu-ray game to PS3 HDD. Even if you were able to do so, there is no way to transfer it to your PC for burning.

It's impractical to have games on your HDD, since you only will be able to have one or two games considering they use the entire 25GB or even 50GB games in the future. HD-gaming's shear size will make digital piracy a thing of the past. Soon the black markes will be propagating real disks that were simply stolen.

As for movie downloads, it's already happening, but it pretty stuipd though. Why? because most "HD" video you can find on Bittorent trackers are poorly encoded, with very low bitrate to reduce size. I have seen 720p rips with the same bitrates as a standard DVD (480p) rip. Basicaly there will be no difference in quality than a DVD rip. Thus kills the point to rip "HD movies" in the first place.

However a lot of people are satisfied with watching stuff on You Tube, and have much lower quality standards than I do. I want qulaity, thus i buy discs.
