Leave the devs alone you damn pirates.

Good luck sony, maybe if you gave us a reason to stop CFW we would ROFL

the prices are a little to high for games for console

pc is much more accurate on the prices.

Actually you can play full size media in OFW, they unlocked that a while ago, everything else is legitimate though.

Is a direct result of CFW. I wouldn't be able to pirate games without it, that's for sure

I agree that most PSPs with CFW do have it solely to priate games. I admit I have done it before to try before I buy, and thank god I found out some games sucked royally before I wasted my money. But I bought everyone I liked.



I do like ripping my games to disk so I don't have to carry UMDs with me. But I own all of them.



I even bought Syphon Filter: Combat Ops from the playstation store and how does sony thank me... THEY STOLE MY CHANGE!!



I love CFW because I can play the games I own without Sonying trying to sell me the same ***** a second time(ex. FF1, FF2). I can even play all my oldschool games like doom, RoTT and all my PS1 games. Plus you have great homebrew games like Stacker!



I love my PSP's CFW but whenever I tell my friends about it, playing psp iso's is the first thing they ask about but the last thing I tell them about it.

People can deny it, but CFW is the pirates wish. What Sony need to focus on is more downloadable, bitesized game and a good way of preventing piracy. I mean, Lumines used to be £30 here. Just wtf. And even now it's still around £15. Now, Lumines is a nice game to play once in a while, but switching UMD's to play a simple puzzle game is overkill. PSN really needs a revamp. I'd happily buy Lumines for £4 if I could legally download it.



A game like Portable Ops... Hmm, the number of cutscenes was abysmal and hardly MGS-like, not because of the style but because of the sheer quantity of it and the lack of a decent story. I'd be willing to pay £10 for that.



Know what the PSP needs? An on-going series. Like, Portable Ops, but with a new mission, level and around 2 cutscenes every week. Or at least month.



That's the next step forward in games. From movies to a series. And the best way to tackle piracy as they can include whatever they want to include in the latest update.



Okay, that's a load of bs outta my ass. Yeah, it's all unrelated. But... Meh. I'm tired. G'night.

that Prevent UMD PIRACY... The PSP will lower on HARDWARE SALES, no body will buy a PSP to play UMD GAMES, just like that and Bored, then sell the PSP in half price -_-"!



Thats Why CFW is better gives u anything u ever wanted for a PSP! So SONY can say that they are not "happY"! lol



SONY: We are not happY!! Because We are selling a lot of PSP because ppl can have CFW and play Back ups on them!! Damd it! lol (We are awfully Happy!! YAYY! Take that! Bill Gates lol)



Thats sony paper...



When they made the first Playstation on 1998 (or something) they had more "Hardware Sales" cuz ppl could pirate games too! What did sony DID?! Nothing! Just concern about it and big talk and blah, nothing!



The same here they concern , even if they wanted to stop PSP UMD(ISO) Piracy they can try , but always Developers of the PSP SCENE will always crack it up!



Sony keep concerning about it, U r doing just fine!

Show ppl that piracy is wrong, but is good for the Company , cuz lots of PSP are on sales thanks of that and CFW(MOSTLY)



Carry on!lol



PSPMAN90

way off. ps1 came out sept. 9, 1995

if 99% of PSP piracy is a direct result of CFW... then where does the remaining 1% result from?

modchips?

Piracy doesn't affect the console itself, it affects the game maker and developers, Like it or not is a bussines and they want to make money of it. THATS WHY sony talks about piracy cos developers are like: "Hey no one is buying my games because your console allows backups"



If Sony unlocked its console like some suggested THEN there wouldn't be any games and the console will die(Its kind of a reason why be dont have so much games).



Still The prices are EXTREMELY HIGH they should lower their prices in order to be more economic and allow people to buy more games.



FYI: I love my CFW PSP emulator



2 FYI: Im in Mexico and PS3 games cost around 800 pesos thats around 80 dlls and the XBOX 360 around 600 with Forza 2 and CoD 3 (talk abour high prices)

Piracy on the PSP has been around even before Custom Fw(look back at the qj articles they even posted links to ISOs).

Anyone remember the good ol' 1.5 days ?... Devhook anyone? or the other countless loaders that where used before custom fw. So you dont need custom fw to run ISOs...I also doubt very many people installed a modchip.

Piracy does'nt realy hurt Sony(booming hardware sales), but it does hurt the developers and users. If you pirate games then you only have yourselfs to blame for crappy releases or lack of them even.

Custom Firmware isnt to blame here, although it does make piracy alot easier and convinient than have to use loaders. Its wether you choose to pirate or not.

Anyway,

i cant see Sony doing anything software wise, most likly a hardware change.

Piracy cannot be stopped. They can manufacture PSP2, PSP3 PSP4..PSP1000 with strong security and there will be always someone to break the code. The big thing is that it doesnt affect hadrware sales, if not, boosts it. However, on the software side, game development companies are and will be crying because of sales slowing down or not moving at all. It only takes one copy of the game to be ripped and hit the internet. What now? Are they gonna customize every copy of every game to each gamer? And not even like that. LOOOL

+ 1%

It's already illegal, but now SONY HAS A POLICY... I'm real scared.
