Ok, so big news in the land of PlayStation! The team that brought the XK3Y to Xbox, has now brought out a disk drive emulator for the PS3!!
I will update the post with more info when I get back from work
How it Works
Copied straight from there site.
3k3y is an optical disk drive emulator for the Playstation 3 video game console.
It is installed between the genuine Bluray drive and the PS3 motherboard.
Once 3k3y is successfully installed and configured it can be used to make backups of your original PS3 game disks to USB media, and play those backups from USB media without the need of the original game disk.
Several games can be backed up to a single USB media, making it ideal as a 'jukebox' for hardcore gamers as well as for families with children too young to handle bluray discs with appropriate care.
3k3y works with most PS3 models, however there are a few exceptions, most notably the new super slim model and all PS3s which comes with firmware 4.xx (after retrieving the drive key the PS3 can be upgraded to any firmware). We are working to add support for these PS3's but you are adviced to consult with your reseller if you are in doubt whether your PS3 is compatible with 3k3y or not.

I dont really understand why this post was needed?
It looks like something you can get for cheaper with a homebrew on 3.55

I won't pretend to be an expert on the PS3, I am not. However, this device emulates stock drive FW, and does not need a homebrew kernal to run, which means no problems with PSN or updating.
Does the 3.55 hack allow you to run back up games from HDD? I have no had a PS3 since the crack was released lol.

Wow, that is really good. So you telling me this would work with the latest update, and I wouldnt need to be on 3.55 Jailbreak and have any additional addons?

According to their website, no. If it is like the XK3Y, then it will run without addition addons, or the need for a specific Ver number, because instead of this running a form of CFW, it emulates the stock FW
