Why do they bother? The scene hackers will be battling with sony for the rest of the vitas life, its just a cat and mouse game they will never win.
You got to try before you know. It took a pretty long time before someone made advancements in the PS3 scene after firmware 3.60. And if you're on firmware 3.60+ now, you're pretty much out of luck unless you buy a downgrade kit. And newer PS3s that started on firmware 3.60+ cant even be downgraded to 3.55 as far as i know. If Sony never bothered after 3.55, things would be quite different now.
It is not always about blocking things forever, but trying to limit it as much as possibe, and for as long as possible. I' would compare it a bit to antivirus. What is the point of updating the antivirus programs, new viruses are made all the time anyway. Still they try to limit it as much as possible.
I thought it was determined that Jailbreaking a Portable Device was Legal? So why is Sony breaking our balls?
For phones it is legal, but not for everything else. But eventhough if it was legal, it is not illegal trying to stop it.
The reason why game system companies try to stop it is because their business model relies heavily on software sales. They dont want any exploits to be open, just to be on the safe side.
