Dark_Alex vs Sony?!?!?!?

[Bytrix]

What Dark Alex does is awesome.. for us who use it. There are more people NOT playing homebrew than there are actually using it.

From the perspective of those people they look forward to the new games coming out and new releases. Most of them are content with what Sony are doing. Especially those who have just got a PS3 and are enjoying their PSX games from the Sony Store... Alot of them don't even know the PSP can be hacked to play virtually all PSX games and they are happy with what they have.

Us homebrew users and developers are spoilt for choice with the work of Dark Alex, Booster and other developers. We are very happy with all the choice we have and the functions we have for our PSPs but that's because we are greedy buggers and we want more more more!!!



And ofcourse what was previously said is correct. Sony makes way more money from selling their consoles/games/UMDs/Sony Store than it ever will if they simply enable homebrew abilities. They'd end up putting the price up for the base unit because they would be inviting end users NOT to by games and UMD movies.

The big thing at the moment is the PSX emulator, everyone has to remember without Sony we wouldn't be playing these near perfect PSX games on our PSPs right now.

It`s quite simple- DAX and other coders don`t have to worry about copyright so it`s pretty much an open field for them. Sony on the other hand, being a company that tends to go about things LEGALLY don`t have the luxury in gettng the same freedom coders get. Still, although Sony haven`t done much to help the PSP i still don`t like this 'us vs them" mentality. Lets all grow up a little.

No competition really DA offers customers what they want $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ONY dont.

We gotta remember Sony is in it to make money and you can't fault them for that.But what alex and his friends are doing is exactly what we are supposed to do with technology(software at least)share; )

Agreed.

And what do you expect. Of coarse they want money.. It's a company. If they lost too much money. No psp. Which also means no homebrew... unless Dark Alex knows how to make psps too..and then he'll give them away for free right?

[Tetris999]

this is not a war its just using your psp for something else man... whats up with this mentality? anyway keep going DA its fun to use our psp's more often

[madcupid]

no one is sayin this is a war or something, my only point is that sony could've done much more for its customers than it has, and if it wasnt for homebrew at all maybe the psp wouldnt have become so popular...but it seems like once they start selling more(for whatever reason;homebrew in this case) they dont wanna do much...just like somebody else ssaid it before; its not that they dont know it, they just dont wanna do it!

[madcupid]

and im not puttin Dark_Alex against sony in any way...(think outside of the box man, remember history class???) im just trying to put out what everyone else is seeing and come on man, we know that.

[qskint]

if it wasnt for sony what the hell would you all be discussing?

[gdf]

it's a shame for the many psp users who are ignorant of the homebrew scene, as they don't get all the ace stuff we get. but i suppose the more people there are the more piracy there will be. also it's nice to have a smaller fanbase of appreciative users than a large fanbase of semi-satisfied users, so hats of to Dark_AleX
