Sigh. This seems like a huge waste of time. Hombrewers have already gotten around all of Sony's other security attempts, why would they believe this will stop anyone?

I'll admit it's a move aimed to stop game piracy, but it acts as if all CFW is evil. Some (most) CFW isn't mean to rip off the industry, it's meant to do things Sony just wouldn't think of, like modding games for user-made content or patches, or ISOs to help with battery life, load times and ease of access.

Sony may think CFWs are evil - they just don't see it's a double-edged sword to them, or a necessary evil at that.

wait, sony is looking at "iso"s in the form of digital dl. Now i feel if i own the physical product i should be able to make a digital copy or receive one from sony for MY OWN PERSONAL USE. however you also have to realize the big difference of emus and actual h/b on cfw. emus still use copyrighted materials (bios, game files, etc) to function, some of which may be past copyright law limitations and others that are permanently protected. AS always the community will find a way around the problem, but will the other issues that give it a bad rap still be present?? of course they will and it will affect us all. i like how the intial ChickHEN did not allow iso, just h/b. that was a step in the right direction. with the release of the ChickHEN/cfw enabler i feel we took a step backwards. i feel companies have a right to protect their investments and software protection is their right. i would dislike being the ceo who helps develop a thousand dollar program retail at the cost of 3 milion r&d over 2 years to find it cracked and bittorrented for free and see the stat d/l of 300,000, if you do the math that figure would have cover "our" r&d costs. yet we have nothing to show. i hope this small example enlightens some of you. it is part of the reason some software devs got away from the psp. if security gets better (digi d/l only, sony encrypt, etc) then maybe we will see a 2nd software renaissance on the psp (the first being h/b). unfortunately i also do not see sony embracing some of the real gems of h/b that has been created such as the veiwers, editors, and actual games.
feel free to vent i hope i can help discourage i couple of d/ls.....

@ gdpsp: true, true. I do believe that it's the actual 'evil' modders and hackers that are the reason things like this happen and give other CFW users a bad name. I'm not one to buy pirated games to rip off the industry, I'd prefer to buy a proper UMD, if not to support the industry than to have peace of mind it's glitch-free.

I don't want CFW to do stuff I'm not supposed to do - I want it to just do things that can't be done otherwise. There are a lot of things CFWs are capable of that Sony just don't have the imagination to think of, and that's what interests me, along with homebrew games and programs by the people for the people made for free.

Oh, I also wonder if the PSP Go will have anti-CFW precautions. Then again I don't care about the PSP go. It's a bad idea.
