      HAHA. I doubt anyone with a brain will do that, since most hackers are smart enough not to. I don't really play my PSP too often, so this doesn't really matter to me.

    I don't hack. Unless there was a disc like gameshark and such where i can hack into my games, i find it rather pointless.

      Is it that pointless when you can play PSP games for free, Nintendo games for free, Sega games for free, i mean any game can be played for free on a hacked system, hackers get a world of benefits and there isn't much Sony can do hell even Phil Harrison was happy that they hack the PSP and were amazed how well they could run and code their own stable custom firmware.
