2.81 firmware coming soon

Sony can't win. They're bound to make blunders, no matter what firmware they distribute, enabling the homebrew community to exploit unforseen exploitables. I almost feel sorry for old Sony, but, of course, the hombrew community is the real underdog. Go team!

Yeah, throw in a measly demo or 2 and I guess that would make it worth upgrading my 1.50 - YEAH RIGHT!

Nice try $ONY! I wonder how many people will actually fall for this tactic? This proves again that SONY is quick to patch any possibilty of homebrew on the PSP. For this reason I think maybe it might be better for future hacks/exploits to wait until the big "3.0" firmware is released. But then there are those on the other side of the debate that feel that Sony's firmware patches only strengthen hackers' resolve.

I don't know what the future holds but it is clear the war rages on...

they will put in features for the FW update:

Added Security.

and thats it

but they might come out with somthing good for it (about 0.00000000000000000000000001% chance) like a paint proggie or email or sony connect or sumtin. but i HIGHLY doubt it.

But that will only happen when pigs grow wings and fly north to a frozen hell.

Ain't that the truth man!

Yes! This is true. Dark_AleX, hero of PSP homebrew has defeated 2.80 firmware. What is the significance of this? This could mean a possible 2.80 DevHook and the killer upcoming games that will likely require 2.80 firmware at some point should be playable on 1.50 PSP's in the near future.

This is a great time for PSP homebrew with no slowdown in sight. NOBODY upgrade to 2.80 or 2.81 firmware. Join the 1.50 ranks!
