If you think sony would bother planning any market strategy on approx 1% of its users, you are sadly mistaken. Yes they are trying to secure the PSP, but they would do that anyway. The updates allow more features as well, which probably should have been included from the beginning, but thats irrelevant.

If you are sceptical about the 1%, just get the total amount of forum members... hell add up all the PSP forums, and the total amopunt of PSP's sold. Its simple Maths.

Sure they would monitor the forums where hardcore dev work is going on(probably not this one though) and the few exploits that have been exposed would be analysedand patched.

Whats so different than any other software/hardware company. If we were talking windowsXP you would all EXPECT MS to fix every hole.

Stop crapping on about sony this, sony that. Live with it and work on the problem. I doubt most of the users here would have ever entered PSP in their google bar, let alone helped on any dev work.

What do you want for nothing anyway? The same ridiculous ideas come up every day for firmware hacks. Its actually a chore to try and read the forums. Especially with all the damm pictures everywhere. scroll down 5 pages of rubbish for every 3 lines of posted "yeah, cant wait" text.

As for sony being hurt by hackers... I don't think so! You have to admit they have done a pretty good job keeping piracy (their main goal, no it is NOT homebrew!) off the PSP. Even if it is v2.01 up.

Imagine a windowsXP where the only things that you could not run ANY pirated software, AND only a small amount of homebrew would work. You gotta give them credit, even if you don't like it.
