    psp Sony To Stop Piracy on the PSP (for 60 days for each release apparently)

    News via http://www.gamasutra.com/view/featur...age=4#comments

    Speaking of the PSP, there's been a tremendous fall off in North America in terms of support for the system. It's still doing extremely well in Japan.

    RD: It's killing it in Japan. [In North America] you have Peace Walker that I think is going to do very good numbers. You're going to have some phenomenal support from Square. They have some great stuff coming. You have some great stuff from Capcom. Again, it's a lot of stuff from Japan...

    We have EA Sports stuff that's going to be coming out. You're going to have Toy Story 3 on the PSP that's coming out. There's a number of titles from American publishers that will be there, but are we getting full-line support? No. I'm not going to bull$#@! you on that.

    A lot of the stuff that will be announced at E3 we're very excited about, because they are huge titles. And we also believe that there's a way that you will be able to, not stop, but slow down the piracy in the first 30 to 60 days from a tech perspective. There's some code that you can embed that we've been helping developers implement in order to get people at least to see a 60-day shelf life before it gets hacked and it shows up on BitTorrent.

    That's been the biggest problem, no question about it. It's become a very difficult proposition to be profitable, given the piracy right now. And the fact that the category shrunk inside of retail.

    We're going to fix retail. First party has done a great job of getting some campaigns in place to do that. We have some very big third-party titles, notably from Japan. We will have a good line-up this year. And hopefully, by virtue of that, we'll carry through to next year as well.

    So does this mean we'll actually see games with Infrastructure support?

    they are going to stop piracy for 30-60 days? is this like the security in windows XP that would never be broke (broke in 2 hours max) the security that Ubi released that wouldn't be broke (about 15-20 days for the first game then the rest as quick as you can do a single play through)

    the fact is every time you see these brag's that they are going to stop piracy, they are just setting them self up for a fall as they spend a fortune on developing the tech then it is torn apart as soon/before it is released to the public in most cases.

    Well if there's any validity to that claim, it probably means you can't rip your UMD to stick for 30-60 days either (which I definitely care about.. I don't pirate PSP games that I didn't buy)

    Unless the UMD has loading time issues you and everyone else can either wait 30-60 days or download the game from PSN.

    And it's not like every PSP game is available for purchase on PSN.

    If all the PSP2 rumors are true, they should trash the optical format in favor of external flash storage. UMD sucked from day one.
