If Sony allowed homebrew, they would only get sued by nearly every gaming company out there.

What because the PSP would have the ability to run copy righted material illegaly?

Based on that idea Microsoft,Mac,Nokia,Samsung and all other PC,Mobile,Multimedia,Gaming device companies that have the ability to run copy righted material illegaly should get sued too.

So what do they make of the GP2X then, hey?
Surely the ONLY reason anyone has one of those is to run homebrew.
