| NewGenGamers said: I thought the slim models were supposed to fix the piracy problem. I haven't heard anything about those systems being hackable, or at least not as easily as the original models. Plus after watching Sony's E3 I think even they have lost faith in it, most of the stuff they showed off were known titles. Plus a lack of a price drop also shows me that maybe they are just milking it out until they can get a succesor ready. |
Ill say upfront I don't hack PSP.
PSP slim is still hackable, its just a pain in hte ass and requires you to buy a magic memory stick and pandoras battery, which totals about $40. Now, witht the fat, people could hack much more easily, and maybe still buy games and then run emus of older games With the slim, hacking to play old games is so much trouble, its only worth it if you hack new games aws well. It is still entirely hackable though, and thus software sales plummet.
IMO the biggest problem is that software is too pricey. I got daxter with my PSP and bought patapon... and other than Patapon 2 if its $20 and may be sonic rivals since it is players choice, I plan to buy all my games used off amazon for $8-$25.
Worst case is PSP2 comes out fall 09... that would screw over SE though with their Kingdom Hearts: Birth by sleep project. PSP is still a great buy. I bought one recently with the anticipation of all its good titles to be behind it that I can buy for $10 or less once it dies (sxo far I have found 70 good PSP games to buy) yet more have coome out/are coming out: God of War, Wipeout Pulse, Crisis Core, Patapon, Secret Agent Clank, Hot shot gold 2, Strar ocean 1 and 2, patapon 2, loclo roco 2, stardust portable, killzone, kingdomh hearts... PSP is far from dead imo.
