Looks like Sony's ready to counterattack against that libtiff exploit that's been so helpful to homebrewers over the past few days. The European PSP site has revealed text suggesting the impending release of firmware version 2.81. Most likely, it won't include any new functionality. However, I hope Sony will prepare a downloadable demo to coax us into upgrading, just because free game demos are always yummy.

YAY for $ony, 2.81 WOW, and here I am still stuck with a 1.5 Hahahahaha

They'll probably put some functionality with it. Because they didnt release like 2.5 and were like, "Release to piss of homebrewers", Nah, they always have at list a small list of things they changed.

Nothing $ony can do to make me change my FW from 1.5 ... accept maybe a new fw that accepts homebrew. ^_^

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

What they'll do is they'll say its a security update and is of benefit to anyone who likes to 'prevent your PSP from being hacked if online' or something!!

At least that way they can shut out some percentage of the population from the recent possibility of homebrew.

Sony FW updates really suck. Is this same thing going to happen with the PS3? Does anyone know if there is a list of all PSP games and what FW the need. I noticed the new LocoRoco in Wal-mart today. Does that use 2.71 or 2.8?
