Reply With QuoteI'd like to see it done as well. I wouldn't count on it, Sony would no doubt settle for the price of the PSP, or do just that, restore it to its former firmware.
Because it would cost so much to hire lawyers and what not to take them into court. It would just get brushed asside.

The Legalitys of Firmware Updating
Theres discussion around the PSP Scene about the Legalitys of Firmware Updating, heres what HeyU posted on the official Sony forums:
Well, it seems I may be on to something. I was thinking, that since a minor may not enter into a contract, which is what an update is, sony would have to resore it to its original condition if a minor updated it. Now the problem is, how do you prove that a minor updated it? It sux, because I would definately pull this on them if I could prove I updated. Any thoughts, I mean someone should video tape themself with their Photo ID in the pic, and update, thenget sony in court and see if they would comply. They would have to...... Its The Law!!!
Thoughts on this ?

The sony contract is in place simply to make sure you dont break sony's lame rules.
Where you got the idea that sony is legily required to downgrade a psp is beond me. Although if a minor updates your psp, you now are not required to flow that contract as it is now void.
Sony is not legialy required to downgrade any psp, and it would not hold up in cort
, altought i wish it would work

Sony would get some slick lawyer to turn everything around against whoever might be pulling some kind of lawsuit.
"Why would you want to downgrade? After all, don't updates improve your device? Hmmm? Hmmm hmmm HMMM?? Why am I talking about Chewbacca?"

The money spent on the lawsuit would be better spent in paying someone to make you a downdater. It would probably be faster that way.
