even though modchips harm developers. you must admit they did help with sales. look at the ps1 ps2 and psp. especially the fact of homebrew. infact i remember when i brought my psp. and the only reason i did get it was for the homebrew and only that.

well this is crap, some people use modchips to use homebrew or modify a game for personal use [very hot example of such would be Halo1 & 2]

it's just the jagoffs that illegally download games, but searching games on a computer could also bring about controversy, as a lot of people [such as myself] back up games to store on the computer and use via memstick [in such event that i lose the UMD in question or my UMD drive breaks].
