[Stalin-chan-PSG]

I'll write an anti hacking program for you Sony.

if they just stopped charging £40 a game...its no fun as a father when you buy a game for your child and they play it for a hour and its no good or the game is so lame that it gets finished before you wake up the next day and then ask for another one the week after.sort your prices out $ony.

the best one of course is sell your game and get a £5 for it from your local "fat cat" high street gaming shop they just smile@ you when you bring it back a week later & try not to laugh when they hand you the money over, before you go out of the shop its in the pre-own section with a price tag of £30.its safe to say that you have no investment in a game.

sort piracy no sort out greed then the rest will follow.

Nintendos (all of them) are hacked into oblivion, somehow they are still profitable.
Xboxes were hacked like from day one - no big deal.
And suddenly PSP is a fail because of... piracy?
And suddenly PS3 being cracked is a big deal?

How come?

Maybe, instead of wasting billions on cluster**** protection mechanisms and army of laywers it's better to spend it on, uhm, console/game development, dear Sony?

Most guys whom I know would NEVER EVER bought PS3 if it wasn't hackable. So what exactly does Sony lose by this kind of piracy please? On the opposite: they should be making a few pennies on console hardware, a few bucks on accessories, plus PS becoming more popular.

Because the PS3 and PSP has no good anti-cheat mechanisms to cope with it. If they let this slide then their free PSN is as good as gone.
