Touchscreen PSP2 in 2010.

*Sits Impatiently waiting for GTP*

I seriously doubt we'll see any kind of new PSP anytime soon considering the PSP-3000 is still in it's first year. Post above confirms it also :D.

I wouldnt count on it. They wont want it to end up like the psps homebrew scene. Its full of pirated games which means less money for them. I think they will put more effort into the security of it. Look at the ps3, its the most secure console of this generation so far.

They could do a LOT more to improve the security of the PSP...

Besides, knowing that you can hack it like that will draw people in, so they know they'll at least get some hardware sales out of it, with the possibility of people then possibly buying further stuff like accessories etc (although admittedly, i'm sure most of their projected profits, are from software sales).

Same with MS, they could do a lot more to prevent piracy of their OSs, but if you think about it....... what do you think they would prefer.... people using cracked versions of their software.... or using a competitors?

But i digress :o

I bought a PSP on release date over in the States... haven't really played it since! Something about handheld gaming... the novelty seems to wear off pretty quick with me... i'm pretty sure the PSP2 would have the same effect, regardless of how powerful it is.

The PS3 is only the most secure because it's financially unfeasible to even bother. Blu-rays are expensive as hell. If there's no suppost for the piracy side of things then inevitably the homebrew and software side of things will die down too. You're sorely mistaken if you take Sony for some kind of software security wizard.

Stange, but when DVD-R's were £10+ and DVD Writers were £400 you could still get plenty of copied games on them...!!!! (Not that I did, of course ;))

I really don't think that cost is an issue. If someone wanted it done and it was easy to do it would be done by now. Some people just like the challenge.

I think Sony learnt a lot from how easy the PSP-1000 and 2000 models were to unlock, and the PSP-3000 is still yet to be unlocked, and as far as I know the most people have been able to do with the PS3 is run extremely simple Java apps.

I managed to get a pong game that someone wrote working. But that's more a Bluray exploit than anything PS3 specific afaik.

I don't think they're security wizards. But they're not doing badly with the PS3 compared to the competition.
 
The perfect handheld for me would be the same as the PSP but with a wealth of decent first party titles and better ergonomics. Shame the best feature of it is the hacking part, but hell, who wouldn't want a handheld with streets of rage 2 on it?

Yes that will affect people hacking a little bit but there are exploits available but none that are that useful. That shows people are spending time hacking the console but getting nowhere because sony have improved the security, i cannt think of any other reason why.
 
The reason the PS3 hasn't be hacked yet has nothing to do with the price of BR media and burners, and nothing to do with it running linux. It is because it is extremely difficult to get past the system's Hypervisor. This is the same reason the 360 hasn't been hacked yet. The only reason you can play pirated games on the 360 is because MS left a gping security hole in the form of the DVD drive firmware, the actual console itself has not been hacked, and the that's for the same reason as the PS3: The Hypervisor makes both consoles very secure.
 
they should also impliment - movement detection instead of just fiddly buttons - a la iPod Touch styleeeee - looks awesome gameplay fun!
