Ripping Blu-ray movies to the PS3

News is speading like wildfire across the Interwebs that another deathblow has been dealt to the PS3. This time, hackers have successfully ripped a Blu-ray disk to the PS3s harddrive.

I say, so what? Who cares if you're able to rip Blu-ray data to the HDD? And who care if you can burn that data to another disc (which hasn't happened yet)? The issue here is all about actually being able to play that rip or that burn. So far, no news on if anyone has actually played back that ripped data. Getting past Blu-ray encryption is entirely different than ripping some data. Good luck with that in the short-term!

I wouldn't call for the demise of Blu-ray just yet, or place my bets on the availability of "free" Blu-ray movies anytime soon.

Well, that didn't take long. A well know Xbox mod team has tackled the PS3 and come away with an interesting first product:

"Team Xecuter has rolled out the details on their first commercial product for PS3 - the 'Hyperdrive'. This device will allow you to connect any 3.5" SATA hard drive to the PS3, supporting upto 750GB and switching between the external HYPERDRIVE and internal 2.5" HDD. There will also be USB 2.0 support to dump DATA to and from the HDD. They also state that a few friends in the Playstation scene have relayed that booting games from the PS3 HDD is not far off at all!"

I'm sure the subtle hint of what lies ahead didn't escape you... does the potential of terabytes and terabytes of freely ripped and available PS3 games concern you at all?
