I assume when you change the firmware it will store it on a ROM chip the same was as when you flash the BIOS on your motherboard in you PC. If this is so and the ROM chip in a PSP is similar to a PC motherboard then I would think you could only flash it so many times. Because I definately know that if you keep flashing a motherboard then eventually the chip will just give up the ghost and die. I've seen it happen many times on motherboards. If my assumptions are wrong and the PSP is different then that would definately be a bonus.
