It seems the flood gates are most definitely open, as reports are coming in that a PS3 owner has managed to successfully copy over, crack open, and modify someone else’s almost complete GT5 save game to run on his own PSN profile.
This has apparently given access to “loads of trophies, loads of cars, and loads of money” – which he can use online – whilst also arguably negating the whole point of owning GT5.
Sadly, it’s safe to assume this is the start of many more game saves being bust wide open.
TheSixthAxis does not condone piracy and does not recommend the modification of your console.

They shouldve just made an online storage facility for everyone. E.g. when saving have the option to also save it online manually or something so if peoples files do become corrupt, they also have the online version.
(I see that they could possibly both corrupt at the same time but theres probably a way to make it work).
On PS2, my dads friend completed GT3 to like 99% and copied his file over to my spare memory card. Whenever a friend came round I would use that memory card. For a-spec, I used my other memory card and did all the events properly.
But nothing’s as good as completing a game yourself. I try not to borrow my friends cars but for the sake of saving half a million for 1 race, id rather borrow :P.
If someone gave me an X1 when I haven’t earnt it, I would simply send it straight back. (provided I didn’t send a car to someone within the last 24 hours :P)
But if people want to get all the cars, I would really approve but just let them, it their loss, they will get bored with the game by a couple of days.
P.s guys a random tip on the tokyo track, on the last big bend, if your friend is in the lead by a small margin, when the break heavy for the last bend, brake slightly but whack straight into them! Worked 3 times for me! Although some may disprove of this method, I find it amusing LOL.
Also if damage is on, and their using a car with the engine in the rear and your engine is also in the rear, and you start behind them, on the first bend dont bother stopping, ram their engine!! LOL

And people will become millionaires while evading the taxes that we continue to pay.
Go ahead and do it. I’ll keep playing and feel the true pride in winning the cars on my own.

And come on guys with the SERIOUS photo mode option in GT5 you have to go and reuse this picture of the 1series BMW 3 times (at least) and the silver GT-R twice…

Get on there and take some amazing pictures!! Even better: make a contest. I’ve got 195 pictures in my Photo Library already! It’s probably the most time consuming feature to me (and that’s a good thing.)

I don’t particularly care what these people are doing with their gamesaves, it’s a choice thing I guess. I waited soooo! long for this game and am slowly working through it, which will give me far more satisfaction and money’s worth than completing it in a day and being £30-£40 out of pocket.

I personally find it stupid as in earning trophies dont mean anything really if you didnt try, they are already near meangless to most gamers even if they try to get the trophy… but I really dont care, those damn hackers do what they do, unless they dont hack my PSN or something I dont care, well I’m still fully agaisnt pirating, thats more serious.
So if they shall hack their PS3 for homebrew or free trophies, I dont really mind as long as I play my games in peace and as long as they dont pirate.
