nah. its simple. sony doesnt give two ****s about gamers... they do this entirely to keep shareholders happy to prevent them from bailing out of sony. give it 20 years when all the people who grew up with modded xbox's and psx's are the ones mostly investing in stocks and we will see an entirely different type of sony. until then, we get this

Oh really? If Sony doesn't give a sh1t why do they release the most and best games? Its up to us to buy them, not pirate them. And believe me, you will act the same when you have a company, you dont wanna lose money.

I think that $ony is a bit more obsessed with security after the PSN hacking. I know they are two different things, but they are probably losing more money paying programmers to code these security updates than they do on people wanting to play PSP homebrew and emulators.

But honestly, my 6.60 PRO B9 PSP will do for on-the-go homebrew until the battery dies.

We have sjeep to thank for Sony starting to care about "harmless homebrew exploits".

Honestly, Sony didn't use to care, until a little homebrew called HDLOADER got developed. Until then their reaction was something akin to "aww, how cute. the people are running widdle homebrews" Now they will fix anything if there's even the slightest hint it could possibly be used to pirate ever.
