We all have heard of a ‘mod-chip’ or PSJailbreak for the Playstation 3 which is reported to allow you to play games off the harddrive. Before you get any bad ideas take note.
According to SKFU and RichDevX from PSNHax, the Backup manager game ID (LAUN-12345) could be logged/recorded by Sony when logged into PSN (when online), allowing Sony to see who would be using the illegal PSjb/clone and could you banned from the Playstation network. Apparently Sony does currently ban PSN/consoles that results in the 8002A227 error code.
So mod your console and forget about playing online.
