Xavier just posted an interesting tidbit in the comment section here… This is my first time hearing about Belzar, which is supposedly a full-fledged direct boot modchip with quite the feature set:

• Works on all PS3 models
• Works on all PS3 regions (USA, JAP, PAL)
• Direct Boot of PS3 original, import, and backup (copied) games
• Direct Boot of PS2 original, import, and backup (copied) games
• Supports multi-region Blu-ray Movie Playback
• Supports multi-region DVD Movie Playback
• No config disc needed – it just works!
• Transparent stealth operation
• Integrates proven belzar Intelligent Code Modifying System
• No awkward USB interface – just insert DVD and play!
• Supports all up to date titles
• Ultra-low power consumption; does not interfere with normal PS3 operation
• Only 12 wires to solder
• No external PC/laptop needed
• Completely upgradeable firmware, via Belzars USB 2.0 interface

The lowdown… On July 1st the public release was apparently delayed due to a nasty bug that crashed the console using the latest firmware update. Furthermore, a couple days back it’s said the modchip was sent to 50 beta testers for final bug testing. No price or release date has been mentioned/confirmed.

Now, as far as I’m concerned, this is absolute pure speculation for the time being. That is until some concrete evidence surfaces proving otherwise. Anyone, beta testers, hello?!
