If you search for a game like Grand Theft Auto V (which is roughly 18GB on the PS3) and find a link claiming to be "Highly Compressed to 100MB," it is almost certainly a fake.
Since you cannot play a ".rar" file, follow these steps for success.
Within a week, the file was shared across torrent sites, file-hosting forums, and even YouTube links (with fake “password in description” traps). Gamers with slow connections waited 4–5 hours to download the 100 MB RAR file, only to find… Ps3 Iso Games Highly Compressed
The truth:
The archive contained a 30-second black screen video, a text file saying “You’ve been trolled”, and sometimes a malware dropper disguised as “PS3_UPDATE.PUP.”
If you need to save space for PS3 games, these are legal and practical: If you search for a game like Grand
| Method | Typical Space Savings | Complexity | |--------|----------------------|------------| | Convert ISO to JB Folder + remove update files, install data, and useless languages | 10–25% | Medium | | Use PS3 Game Data Utility – delete installed game data after playing | Variable | Low | | Upgrade internal HDD (max 1.5 TB) or use external USB (FAT32/NTFS) | 100% (adds space) | Low | | Stream via RPCS3 (PC emulator) – store games compressed on PC hard drive | Unlimited (on PC side) | High | | Repack as PKG for digital-only titles (some are smaller than disc versions) | 5–20% | Medium |
None of these achieve “90% compression,” but they are safe, legal, and functional. Gamers with slow connections waited 4–5 hours to
| Claim | Reality | |-------|---------| | “God of War III (35 GB) compressed to 1.5 GB” | Impossible – would require removing 95% of data. Such downloads are either fake, password-protected malware, or link farms. | | “Works on any CFW/HEN” | Usually false. Modified ISOs often require specific loaders or fail to boot. | | “No quality loss” | Mathematically impossible for lossless compression >15% on already compressed game data. | | “Extract and play” | If it’s a standard ISO, extraction yields original size – no net saving. |
