Sony unearths Playstation modding scam in Chinese jail 9:48AM
Sony Computer Entertainment has traced large numbers of modded Playstations back to a Chinese prison. The company says that containerloads of PS2s were being sent to Shenzhen prison for several days at a time where the inmates altered the machines by adding a extra chip to allow them to play pirated games.
Following a five year investigation, Sony found that the productive prisoners were part of a criminal network turning around up to 50,000 modded PS2s a week. The company said that it discovered that 10 distributors were involved in the operation to sell on the machines.

The companies behind the modding operations have had their own factories raided many times and now seem to be subcontracting the work elsewhere.

Sony has now submitted its evidence to the Chinese authorities to sue two companies and three executives for copyright and trademark infringement

The PS2 was officially launched in China in January this year partly to combat the spread of chipped grey imports.


Lol.

Well if u remember they built that massive ass hospital for SARS in a week, and that new F1 track really fast. Maybe they dug underground n made a secret layer where the gang stayed in to chip, lol.

China... they would be "chinks". "Nips" are from Nipon; the Japanese. And me... I'm a "little brown jungle monkey" (circa 1942). I don't think there was a conjugated derogatory term for Filipino.

Meant in good fun. Hope I didn't offend anyone.
