Hanging, since 2004..
Download, burn and you're on your merry way.

Has it become that simple ?
What are the demerits of modding (Except void warranty).
Is it a soft mod or hardware one ? and what about the % compatibility of games with the modded console, 100% ? What happens when you connect your console to internet.

Is Physx exclusive for pc?
My 4850 doesn't support Physx ,will it make any difference?

Doesn't modded Xbox 360 gets banned from Xbox live?What's difference it makes and cost involved?
PhysX runs on X360 & PS3 with hardware support, on PC only nVidia GPUs(8/9/200 series) can run PhysX on GPU itself, some games allow PhysX to run on CPU only(Gears of War), some allow it to be run on CPU or GPU depending on GPU present, others only allow PhysX with a nVidia card(Mirror's Edge).

Its your choice, but let me add since now most nVidia/ ATI Gpus are almost equal in price(HD4850=GTS250/GTS 250 1GB, HD4870=GTX260, HD4890=GTX275) its best to get the nVidia cards, you don't have nothing to lose(except DX10.1 but with the launch of DX11 its become obsolete), but PhysX will be used on many upcoming games, just check out This, and no matter what anyone says PhysX looks good, at least for Mirror's Edge it did.

ATI no more has the VFM advantage at nVidia, so get a nVidia GPU, but if you're a red fan then get ATI.

PS-the only other PhysX SDK is Havoc, it does not support HW acceleration, and it is owned by Intel, so forget about any development supporting ATI cards. Since most consoles support HW PhysX it will be used in more games in future.

^^ How many Survival horror games you have played, how many games you have played till date ? No offense just asking.

its not the matter of survival horror, I have not yet even got the idea of the story and the game is crippled with retarded control scheme. If there was a sports, adventure, etc game with such crappy controls , my opinion would be same. According to Dead Space developers lefties do not exist.

I think my mind has to be sluggish to be compatible with the sluggish mouse movements :D

I haven't played many Survival horror games.. only a few.

Resident Evil 4
Dead Space
Silent Hill trilogy
Fear

I already own 4850 so another Graphic card just after 1 year is not an option at this moment.Maybe next year i will consider it.

For Batman you mean or the feature in general? PhysX can be processed by consoles as well, although at a much lower rate than PC as they have to rely more on CPU computation, whereas PC has a dedicated option to pass on the job solely to a graphic card used for physics calculation. ATI hardware doesn't support PhysX. You will miss out on some perks of physics effects & nothing else. Even I have a HD4850 and I haven't had much concern for PhysX for a long time now.

With so much talk about Nvidia card doing PhysX, try turning it ON to the max on normal Nvidia cards & see the frame rates tank. Even when Mirror's Edge came out a lot of people took a hit with the frame rates when it was set to max on Nvidia cards. The only game which has honestly impressed me with it's PhysX effects is Watchmen: End if Nigh. It has amazing physics effects.

When it comes to mind bending physics effects, HAVOK takes the cake. Play Stranglehold and Mercenaries 2 to witness it's raw power. You'll have pretty much everything in the game that is destructible.

It will get banned for numerous reasons. That's a risk you have to take if you go online with a modded console. I don't intend to play online, so I have no qualms. It costs anywhere between 750 bucks to Rs.3,000 to get it modded.

Yes it has. Voiding warranty too isn't a problem these days. Like I said earlier, some modders retain the warranty sticker in proper condition and applying it properly later on, thereby keeping the consoles warranty intact. It's only a software mod wherein you flash the firmware of the DVD drive to boot back ups. Pretty much every game is compatible with the console, depending on the region coding of course. Also some latest games come with a new wave of video encoding and that requires you to have your older firmware version upgraded to play those newer titles.

If you connect your console to the Internet, it may or may not get banned depending on the copy of the game you're playing.

I am dreaming for the days when you can mod a PlayStation 3 and when these sony boys reduce the size of the game to 8gb or something like x360. As i have no option to mod a ps3.. I'm stuck with only 7 titles. Pity me...:((

You have a next generation console. Be thankful for that and that's a beast you have right there. You could try saving up for future titles, sell of the existing ones (if not in use) and also trade it with someone over the forums. Plus I hope you're buying only the exclusive titles for it? Getting multi-platform titles makes no sense.

If a hardcore gamer like me ! in budget then sure PS3 cannot be good choice - i can spend over for console even 25K but i ll play 3 games a week . I had 2 PS2 more than 6 years i been playing with that , over 350 games i collected .

I saved enough money for 360 but now even JASPER edition also getting RROD , i think PS3 should be modded & BLU RAY s should be lowered price !

I have GTA IV(PS3 itself is a GTA IV bundle), Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, resistance 2 fall of man, Uncharted Drake's fortune, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, GodFather Don edition. I am saving bucks for both a graphic card and ps3 titles coming like God of War and Gran Tourismo 5. I don't want to sell the titles.. I will play all these games a lot I'll boot all the games atleast once a month :)

Playin' Bionic Commando. This game's awesome, great graphics atleast better than Spider-Man: WoS which I loved. Awesome runnin' style of Spencer :D. Sh*t! Saw a trailer from Ubisoft Virtual Booth now & I can't even think how awesome ACII'll be! I really cannot wait. Should install AC & I must control Altair. For ACII I'm playin' AC. Ubi, darn you're great!! And...uhh.... EA & Crytek you are awesome for bringin' the best visual game: Crysis! Waitin' for Crysis 2 as it doesn't have a release date yet :evil: & frustratingly waitin' for ACII, EZIO!!

@vamsi - Yeah. I don't know how I missed an awesome title in 2007. Maybe 'cause Crysis swept all the games that I had in mind. Awesome, both AC & Crysis. Hell, I was playin' AC after good two years! That surely won't happen with ACII. Come on! When the hell will be November? I hope they won't push to so-called "fiscal" year, if they do then lot of gamers'll be disappointed. Just like BioShock 2.
