I like to extract audio from games and make my own private soundtracks. Nothing difficult, good quality, get more music than the "official" soundtracks. Unfortunately, SCEE apparently prefers licking its balls or something.
For NTSC, PAL (Europe) and JAP copies of the Ratchet & Clank PS3 titles, life is good. The files exist, have correct headers and remain easy to extract. Fantastic. For some handicapped, backwards logic however the ANZ versions (only for Australia and New Zealand) have completely encrypted files. There's no loving rhyme, reason or logic. Apparently the stuffs in the Australian printing office were so lazy, all 5 games (with the R&C Collection being an exception) having the same "RATCHET5_5" label.
Maybe I'm wrong for complaining about this, but now I have to fork out a few hundred to import copies I can't play on my consoles for games I already own because somebody in a board-room somewhere said "AH YES UNNECESSARY ENCRYPTION FOR A VERY LIMITED MARKET GOOD IDEA NOW GET THE FILIPINO BOYS BECAUSE IT'S TIME FOR MY HAPPY loving ENDING."
