Not sure if I'm allowed to link here to the news but yeah it happened. Those overpriced proprietary memory cards really helped, Sony!

I don't think emulated software which contains an exploit really counts as a hack, because technically PSP was hacked and not Vita. It's like running Windows Server 2008 in a Virtual Machine on a Linux box and saying "Look i have managed to get a virus running on Linux that steals passwords and infects all your email contacts and can take all your activation keys for your software, how cool am I!!".

No, not really, it is a Hello World" running and it will be patched before it hits the west. It has nothing to do with memory cards and if you can´t afford a memory card, then you should stop gaming.

Hmm. Homebrew is a possibility, then.

I hope Sony creates an App Store for this device and opens the APIs for external development, but it seems unlikely.

It aint even hacked, it's the emulator that runs so well that even hacks for the PSP work perfectly that's all. This is all completely limited to PSP functionality, not the Vita. Imagine running a virtual machine on Windows 7, if you put a seriously outdated version of Windows XP and get hit by viruses and hacks then Windows 7 is not hacked, so you cannot claim "My Windows 7 PC has viruses!" it doesn't work that way, your virtualized environment of XP has viruses that is all. Vita is okay for now because the hack was limited to PSP functionality and nothing to do with the Vita's OS.

Misleading title is misleading.

edit: wait, it's not a pun? BRBtoPSPISO

edit edit: hahahaha, these guys are merciliess! They've found it weeks ago. Sony will probably patch it up. 3DS is also hacked btw.
