I think that as soon as the ps3 comes out there will be a surge of need for the U.P. Sony will be using a series of checks between the ps3 and the psp to verify the legitimacy of the PSP's firmware before allowing interaction between the two consoles. Even if we have the firware emu'd perfectly from the stick they can use things like seek times or various other task calls from the firmware to verify that it is or isn't on the flash chip. In this case the only way to go will be a U.P. runnning 1.5 and a the PSP running updated sony firmware.

IF I were to buy a PS3, I wouldn't be able to afford the U.P. chip. Not for a while anyway, and at that point a software solution would probably pop up. Chances are it'll be a year before I consider getting a PS3, and if I hear that, in addition to being as expensive as it is, Sony wants to make using it a hassle, then I may settle for an XBox 360 or something else. Nintendo's new machine seems like a more likely purchase this year, for me.

As for the modchip, I'm sure some people will need it, but I suspect a lot more was manufactured than will be sold, until prices come down.

I'm not that concerned about what Sony will do in the future. They should be worried about coaxing my money out of my wallet, and so far only hackers have made it possible for me to buy their software. To me, that seems like an odd business model. It must be working though, cuz they're beating the pants off Nintendo's DS, right?

As for the PS3™, It's not goin' well there Processor yields for the Cell Chip™ are under a rather large Rock right now, which is to say it's not good. On top of that S0NY®™ and Co., can not make enough Blue Diodes for there super-sore-away, and reassuringly expencive BlueRay™ Drives.

On top of all this, the PS3™ will likely not be as powerful a System as was first hyped about. Then the €599.00(EUR) Tag on top of this should really get those Boxes moving!

One is left wondering though. Are Playstation Owners more or less stupid then there XBOX-360°™ relations? I guess what I'm asking is how many Videos of Idiots droping there shiny new €599.00(EUR) PS3's into the Parkinglots' of Hicktown Wall-Marts', do you think will pop-up?! Now that's One way to get a PS3™ on the cheap!

Sony is making a PSOne Emulator, so there is at least one in the works. But I can bet my ass on it, with a proggy as many lines of code as PSOne emulator, there is BOUND to be one function not checking for buffer size before it pushes to stack

With the Release of the Downgraders is the PSP Modchip Not Needed ?

I bought the damn chip and the DAY it came in the mail, poof comes the sceKernelLoadExec buffer overflow exploit. I was so happy and pissed, it was a mix of emotions. At least I can still sell the damn thing, still got no guts to hold that solder. Too fine for my shaky hands.

Has *ANYONE* ever actually see one of these Mod Chips, or read a *REAL* 3rd party review of it's existence? All I've seen are presses releases from the maker and some info from this shady group called "Epsilon" that is supposively working on firmware for it. For all anyone knows, there might be NO MOD CHIP. This could all be a scam to rake in pre-order money and disappear into the night.

I was being sarcastic. There's a funny sentiment among some that we need Sony more than they need us. And apparently Sony shares this sentiment despite what they see happening around them.
If I was a pure gamer, perhaps I'd have a DS, but I'm not. I wanted one device that could kill time in a variety of ways and that is the PSP. Thanks to developers like Ditlew and many, many others this little machine can do much more than I imagined when I bought it. It's my PSP, but Sony still thinks it's theirs.

And I'm veering off topic...
