you think hackers will get bored of constantly beating Sony? I don't think so

How will a modchip make it future proof? who's to say a modchip working for 2.0 will work for 2.6? And what function would the modchip have, and where exactly would a modchip go? Its not like the old PSX where all you needed to do was inject 4 ascii letters into a serial stream that was supposed to come off the CD.

I personally dont think the answer is in a modchip. IMHO there will be a big breakthrough that will make all this bantying around moot.

I wonder how many versions of firmware they will bring out before it has to stop. It would have to come to an end sometime otherwise the risk making thier OWN games incompatible.

As far as a PSP2, the PSP is, to date, (arguably)the best handheld ever, so you would think they would be looking to make another. Probably have 3D holograph, mind control and unhackable.
