Holy f'in *****. That made my day.

Maybe the reason they made it pandora compatible is because noone wants to buy a PSP to play just the mostly crappy PSP titles. They want more options when it comes to games.

I'd wait until some more parties confirm Pandora compatability. Makes ZERO sense Sony would backtrack from 88 v3 and reopen the Pandora loophole.



Not saying this isn't great news, I hope it's true!

This could be a design based off of an older model in an attempt to test a different type of security against the homebrew community.

I want to mess up my own PSP and send it in for warranty to get one of those since according to your theory they couldn't load their own ipl.

is that a fan

i think sony just finally gave up on us here recently there hasnt been no new fw maybe cause of the 3000's comming out but i think they just gave up!!!

***** u psp updates full of *****

since they know we all want our systems hacked and the key ingredients in hacking was time.......They seem to have found their secret weapon against Pandora Madness..



They switch motherboard to drive attention away from it......and release something hackable on purpose.....I love Sony but I know they never turned a deaf ear on people hacking their system.....good businessman plan for the future and how their market changes=Sony....



though it's costly to make a new Mobo, think of the reasoning.... to fool others, it's definitely worth the cost in Sony's view of stopping pirating on their system......and that is perfectly fair and legit, but we the consumers also have our own way of how we want our PSP to shine



So putting out new hackable Mobo to bring back people's attention to "FREE HACKING" again and not worry bout the nonhackable Mobo......then people will forget bout it cause they can easily hack present psp and won't bother to spend TIME on trying to hack it........you lazy bums,//////// this is the KEY POINT///////, THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE THE TIME NEEDED TO LEARN HOW TO HACK IT, therefore replacing it with something they can already hack to get your gullible minds off the nonhackable Mobo



EXAMPLE:



Sony: flashes a flashcard with word on it for a split second....cr0hkie



Sony: hands you cookie, this is on the house, it's free



You: "smilies sweetly" at Sony, turns around, swallows cookie........coooookkkkkiiie eee.......goooooddd......me like cookie



Sony: you forgot to answer us what word was on the flash card?



You: eyes and mouth wide open "smiles while drooling" says COOoKIE



if this happens, the Mobo stays unhacked as they are quickly rushing out new Mobo to replace the unhacked one......trying to get TA-090 out of as many people's hand as possible...............who knows they might even do a recall to get back the old Mobo,



but in secret they are taking it and further improving on the nonhackable Mobo and maybe already got new revisions for it. And ULTIMATELY making sure to keep it PANDORA LOCK....who knows it might come out 4 the PSP-3000 or later models.....



did that ring a bell????



anyways excuse my curious mind and WALL0TEXT...stay tune for next episode of "Why your ***** will shrink"

I came to about this new mobo yesterday but its for referring for PSP-3000. after reading this i had a check on that site again but its down.... but i m posting the cache page of that and the image url

i wonder if sony didnt mean to make the t-0833 v3 pandora proof ?

-

i like houaruto's analysis but i dont think its that complicated.

maybe the unpandorable motherboard was created to be unpandorable, maybe not. maybe it was done to appease someone temporarily (devs) maybe not. maybe it was done temporarily at an increase in production costs just to strike a blow to the homebrew community. im sure they know that their customer base arent all hackers, theyre mostly CASUAL gamers. they really dont want to mess with a lot of hacking and weird installs and foreign languages. now those casual gamers will hear through the grapevine that the psp's arent not ALL hackable, and will be too lazy to worry about whether or not they are getting the "right machine".

these are the types of gamers sony wants, ones who will play ball so to speak. so the answer was simply to muddy the wates a little bit, make it a bit more murky. but it cost them a little more for a while so now theyre going with this shiny new (cheaper and pondorizeable) model.

yeah.

i know a TON of people who got psp's but never used them until i installed cfw for them.

What the heck have you been smoking..?

That means that you agree with him, he just said that an unpandorable PSP is not worth the money..

Probably cookies.

(everyone was saying pandora doesnt work)

i assumed they ment the batt and thought (as above)
