How does no UMD drive keep games from being pirated? I'm not really following the PSP GO homebrew scene, but I'm pretty sure that if it isn't hacked it's only a matter of time, nothing to do with a UMD drive.

ecxactly, thats why sony should leave the handheld market, if those hackers and psp whiners are so smart they should realese and produce a psp2 themselfs.

You make it sound like DS has no piracy. By your standard, Nintendo should leave the handheld market too.

Also, since there are piracy on Wii, 360 and PC as well, I guess companies should stop making games.

While i dont agree that sony should ever quit the handheld market comparing the psp to the ds, wii or xbox is such a joke. Piracy is insane on the psp mostly cause its easy to do. I should know i have 2 hacked psp's and know nothing about computers or the inner workings of my game consoles. What i do know is to hack other systems its alot harder and alot more riskier. Its so easy i learned how to hack my psp on youtube after 5 minutes.

Based on what I see on the net, DS with R4 is way easier than hacking the PSP-3000.

What's so special about PC and PSP games that hardcore gamers don't want to pay for them?

Or is it the fact that these platforms can be pirated so easily? Then again, it doesn't take a lot of effort to play pirated games on the DS either (R4).

yes, but the psp is way more powerful. and you can use it to do more things, no just for gaming(like a pc). i read somwhere that you can play ds games on your psp if you hack it correctly

Then you are blaming the multimedia function of PSP for its poor software sales, not the piracy. Also, are you suggesting that people can hack PSP to play DS games so that PSP owners don't buy PSP games?
