Unless there are hacks to play REAL Vita games, then this is still useless for sales or even discussion.

Very few people would buy the system to play MAME or something. So until hackers become pirates, this is all meh news, it won't put the world on fire at all.

... so why haven't you bought it yet?

You can already do that. Why don't you admit you mean pirating games?

I hope they manage to fully hack the vita, I love my custom firmware psp

The point in hacking it for homebrew is, that any software can be executed, not only licensed. Therefore if homebrew is possible, pirated copies can be played too. That doesn't mean it is simple to create a pirated copy in the first place. The hacking of the device may allow also copying games on it - or not. In the second case someone in the world must find a way to copy it in another way (should be possible if you open the device and add some wiring) and share this copy with the world. If such a copy exists, it can be executed if homebrew can be executed.

Cool.

Now if only Vita had some games worth pirating.

Considering you can use your custom firmware from your psp, I don't know what more you could ask for. What more could they do with the Vita that a combination of PSP hack and Sony's offerings doesn't cover?

What's the point of this if you can make legitimate home brew with playstation mobile?

Pirate vita games of course.
