Thanks for the news! Now I'm gonna upgrade. This is just the thing we needed! Yeah right.

i thought you were serious for a sec until i read that last line

Didn't Sony or some other music companies get sued for including software that secretly installed itself on your PC when you put one of their music disc's into play them?

I dont get what the use of it really is. If it was an upgrade measure it would only be useful for the future after 2.8. But it is invasion of privacy and you know who did it!

I noticed something like this on 2.60 through Devhook. I tried to download a RSS feed, and the website was able to tell my firmware and said I needed 2.70+ to download it.

Who thought sony would stoop this low ....................I did but i thought it would be used later on. All firmware updates are, are security put on your psp sooner or later sony was gonna do this idk how no one else expected this.

Way to go Sony. Way to 'reward' your customers. Way to encourage upgrades. Way to keep people who shelled out a lot of cash for the PSP super-psyched that the lack of games or movies on memory sticks, the crippled video support, and the rejection/nose turning at the homebrew scene doesn't matter but invading privacy does. How much am I supposed to pay for a PS3? And can I hope to have similar malware installed on the PS3?
