PSP Trojan Turns Machine Into Brick

games psp brick This is an interesting development in Sony's PSP.

Well, the answer that $ony has come up with is that they want to make their money out of games, so the PSP (PlayStation Portable) automatically upgrades its internal software occasionally whenever a new hole in its defences against home-brew software is discovered. That’s the problem for home-brew creators: they need to hack the console to let it play non-official releases. Its a real battle of the titans, on one side you have a whole planet of determined hackers who want to get the best out of their machine and use it to play the things that they want to (which is fair enough, if they own it they should be able to do what they like with it - although I suspect that’s not the legal perspective) and on the other side you have $ony trying to patch up holes as soon as they are found.
