Downloading highly compressed PS3 games generally constitutes copyright infringement. While "Fair Use" allows for creating backups, distributing compressed versions of proprietary software (even with stripped assets) is illegal in most jurisdictions.
Furthermore, downloading these files undermines video game preservation efforts. Archives like the Internet Archive or Redump project prioritize 1:1 bit-perfect copies to ensure history is preserved, whereas compressed versions alter the artistic intent (downgraded audio/video) and represent damaged artifacts. Ps3 Game Highly Compressed
To understand why a 40GB game cannot be compressed to 1GB, one must understand what makes up a PS3 game disc.

When you extract the file, the software rebuilds the original data exactly. However, some "repacks" go further by re-encoding audio or video to lower bitrates (lossy compression), which saves space but can reduce quality.
Many websites offering "highly compressed PS3 games" are traps. Risks include:
Golden Rule: Never run a .exe file that claims to "install" a PS3 game. PS3 games run as .iso, .pkg, or folder structures (USRDIR), not as Windows executables.
