You don't need to pay extra. Just another bullshit invented by ignorant western journalist who can't read Japanise.

Damn, I guess its still early.

Screw the online pass...We want other OS! Whats Gehotz doing these days?  :P

What's the fascination with OSs? how many systems running OSs do you need?

Running the actual OS isn't that interesting but some people find hacking fun. I found hacking my PS3 with 3.42 firmware more fun than playing most of the games on it at the time.

For portables, I mostly just want to reply old school emulator titles on the go so the day PSV gets a good SNES, Genesis, MAME and NEO GEO emulators is the day I buy it. Hope emulators dont have an "online pass"... :)

It is Facebook

and here we go again online gaming has screwed up games in some form and heres that form

cant get any worst then this
honestly now how the heck would some one come about buying a game that is out of print without having to shell out 10-20 more dollars just to try to play a dead online game? lol
wow cant believe these people defend this

Can't wait for homebrew on this thing.

So the money making scheme is spreading, I really wish gaming companies would still allow people to borrow games to preview the online. I guess they want to see cut down on lending and an increase on more being spent on their games.

Okay 2 things confuse me about this

#1 Good SNES games? not to be funny but maybe it's time to move on with the times? SNES was awesome but seriously? It was God knows how long ago, since the SNES there have been hundreds of excellent games out and this is just the handhelds alone. Maybe it's time to just move with the times and embrace the new games. There were these consoles recently called the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox maybe it's time to advance? I've never understand people who buy a brand new console just so they can play their old collection. I can understand what the idea of having a unfied handheld to play all your "faves" but the whole point of a new console is to play new games. Exactly how will a touch pad or a gyroscope help with a SNES game? At no time does the game show off the skills of the handheld that you spent money on.

#2 Which brings me to my second point: You have a psp which does all that. why then are you keen to "upgrade" only to then go backwards and play the exact same SNES games via an emulator. To me, this seems like a waste of money.

lastly if you find hacking more fun than "playing most games" I'm gonna say you're playing all the wrong games...
