   That's why HD Loader was only available from its developers for a couple   
   of weeks (maybe less) before Sony had them shut down phenomenally   
   quickly (and that was just because you could rent a game, load it onto   
   the HDD, and then have the game indefinitely).   
      
   Now it's all hacks of the original.
