no modchips,loaders,etc.
imo 80gb version is still a waste,the 60gb one is the main unit.only thing the 80gb one has is 20gb extra space and one game.also this is supposed to come around august,so there might be more bundles with other games and sony might throw in hd cables,shockaxis etc

^^ btw are there any ps3 modchips out there? Don't pirate games dude, atleast PS3 games. They are worth every penny they cost. And with the frequency with which Sony updates firmware, it is highly unlikely that there ever be a hardware mod. May be hacked firmwares like PSP, but that too not in near future. And pirated Blu-rays will still cost over 1k. Mod 360 instead. Then you can buy all the exclusive crap for 100-200 Rs. You know the console is gonna die on you sooner or later anyways ;D. |
