I think the official answer is 'no'.

Saying that I read somewhere that someone had cracked it a few weeks back, but Sony put out a firmware update quite quickly that you had to install otherwise it'd stop you being able to go online and I don't doubt stop you playing any newly released game.

Anyway, stop being a naughty boy and pay for your games! ;)

Thats just the problem,40/50 quid a game and it is never ending.
When its chipped you could get 25 copied games for the price of 1.  

I will speak to a lad round corner and see what he says.

YES!
But you can't play online. And any new games you buy probably wont work. It isn't worth it at all. For a start it voids your warranty, you can't play online, and copied games are illegal.
