With the introduction out of the way I have a few thoughts/comments to various comments in this thread.
"I fully support homebrew"
How? What are you supporting? Do you donate money to the author of the program? I'm curious how much money each homebrew creator has made. Sounds like a poll should be made to find out
"Sony Wants Your Money"
This is really a revelation. Imagine a company who sells a product that wants your money. Sounds SCI-FI to me.
"I'm sticking to 1.5"
Doing so and not buying new PSP software does not support the PSP. I'm not sure how large the homebrew community is but every software sold helps the PSP. If a developer support starts to weaken for the PSP then new software may not be released (which will upset me) and there may never be a PSP2. Sticking to 1.5 you will miss out on some great future PSP games. I've recently bought Burnout, Monster Hunter Freedom and Field Commander. All three of them are great.
I am looking forward to the PS1 emulator from Sony. Some of the announced launch titles are going to be great on the PSP. FF VII and Castlevania:SOTN! So many other great PS1 titles will be a perfect fit on the PSP but I will restrain myself from creating a list.
For it to succeed I would hope the emulator is free. Then triple A titles should cost no more than $9.99. Lesser titles should be sold between $4.99-$7.99.
What would be really cool but I doubt Sony will consider it. I'm not sure if any one remembers the Black PS1 Sony released way back then to the general public. It allowed PS1 software to be developed. This would be a neat feature to offer with the PS1 emulator. Then games could be made, uploaded to the Sony site for sale. Such games could be sold for .99-$1.99. Sony could then run contest, for example run a contest for the best RPG made.
Anywho, I look forward to getting flamed.
