My Brother goes to NIU, and when he called up to tell us he was all right (shortly after the shooting), I just couldn't believe it happened so close to home (i was sleeping, so I didn't hear it on the news until afterwards)

As much as I'd like to blame the Son of a **** who does these things, I think we need to get these guys professional help to prevent it in the future.

I still think banning guns is a ban idea, but I'm conservative.

im pretty sure hacking a psp is alot harder and riskier than downloading a ds rom and putting it on a flash card so i really doubt piracy is what's stopping any new good games for the psp from being releasedetcetcetc

With the psp.

1.) Hacking is almost as simple as downloding a file and running it. It's pretty noob friendly.

2.) With psp piracy, you don't need to buy blank umds, they run off the memstick. A 1-2 gig is plenty.

Sony did not leave the orginal phat psp open to piracy, it was an oversight. Then tried frantically to get people to move away from homebrew, with the 2.0 Update (Web Browser was introduced). ever since it's been a hectic war of CFW/Hacks/Exploits being found and Sony making useless security updates.

Then Slim PSP was supposed to be unhackable, so they made SLIM motherboard incompatible with 1.50 Firnware, but that ceased to do anything. It's almost laughable.

I have CFW, but I also own 15 PSP games, some that aren't even that popular.

I aslo have 2 fat psps and a slim. All with CFW.

Piracy on the psp is like taking candy from a baby. Do you believe that piracy is why devlopers don't invest time to make psp games?

Or do you believe that it's just an excuse that doesn't hold water?

It may be legally unclear, but it shouldn't be.

I myself am Playing RE2, RE3, FF7: All on my psp.
