Update on the Sony PSP Connect Linkage

***wraggster*** · August 27th, 2006, 07:07

As you know i spotted (and no site thanked me but thats as normal in the PSP Scene) that PSP Connect are linking to an Homebrew site.

Now ill be 100% honest, either PSP Connect are being paid for the Linkage or its a MAJOR $#@! up on their side.

Sony would never allow an Homebrew site to be linked to from their pages, Sites Like IGN etc would but no site that posts and mirrors items such as an ISO loader would, So im sorry to burst anyones bubbles but i think its either an advertising space brought by the PSP site in question (most likely) or a $#@!up by PSP Connect.

I have personally contacted Sony to ask whats going off and as soon as i find out more you will know.

UPDATE

Seems like im right and its an ADVERT now for Sony this is a major embarassment especially if the likes of Nintendo etc get pissy with them, remember we love homebrew but no company unless they are getting cash for it wants to see their games emulated on a rivals handheld.

If Sony are happy to publically back homebrew then theres gonna be a whole load of trouble. Its gonna be an interesting week

Even PSPupdates claims it doesn't know what's going on.
