Sony Must Embrace PSP Hackers

Metropolis Street Racer = Crap? I dont think so.

For me it was that the copy protection was so easily removed, which did whats happening to the PSP, opens up homebrew, and removes revenue to some extent - thus why they will keep on patching it as such. Just my opinion however.

most of us would disagree

What The "to early part" or the "crappy games" part?

While I wouldn't go so far as saying the PSP has crappy games I could easily argue that it needs a killer app BADLY. Sure there are some good games but most of us are fishing for a "great" game not some port or another sports title.

The "to early part" I completely disagree. High-tech gadgetry at unreasonable prices is about the best thing you could be selling now. Ipods and the like are everywhere despite there high prices.

The Sony Aibo is another piece of Sony Hardware that has responded well to the Hacker community. There are tons of programs and a huge following for this "toy" simply because people are able to program it. Do you think the Aibo would be such a success if people were only allowed to purchase and run official Sony Software on it?
