Pirate PS3 games

Options
Just bought a PS3 game from ebay, I think it is a pirate copy, it works fine, but I do not want it if it is a pirate copy.

Is there any way to tell? I havent got a chipped PS3 as far as I know, but I did buy it second hand.

    Not many pirate ps3 games doing the rounds tbh, so you're probably safe. Post a picture of the actual game disc so we can see to help.

    You would have to have had custom firmware installed on your PS3 for it to even read a pirated disc.

    Now I see pirate games available for the PS$, is it worth getting it chipped?

    If you do get it chipped you cant get all the updates etc.. but some say that's a good thing?
