But what does that mean? What's the benefits? I'm quite unfamiliar with hacking, so I don't really know/understand the benefits of hacking a console? I'm guessing they're trying to hack it so they can play pirated games or something?

This, and homebrews. More spefically emulators. I don't know if many people know that, but the PSP is a powerful portable emulator, capable of running games from virtually every single console up until the SNES/Genesis (plus the PS1 obviously).

The Vita and PS4 would offer much more possibilities on that regard. But piracy is the most sought out feature I believe.

Homebrews? Is that the same thing as playing emulators? So hacking a console means that you can more or less play any game you want on that console, and not only pirated games from the interwebs? Thanks for the info =)
