Yep, you read that right folks. Mere days after its launch and somebody's already hacked the PSP Go. Hold your horses, though! There are a few caveats.

The one responsible for this hack is FreePlay, who you may know for his work on the Sparta SDK and his recent run-ins with Team Mack. Before you go out an buy a Go thinking it's wide open to homebrew, here are a few disclaimers from the dev:

• This was a known exploit that was abandoned because better prospects came along. I did not discover it; I just figured out how to make it work properly. Better hackers than I likely figured it out way before I did; they just never used it for anything I know of.
• I won't be releasing this or divulging the name of the game involved. It's a proof-of-concept, and it may become more developed privately, but until there's a worthwhile reason to release it it'll stay private. I'd prefer that Sony not patch it before it becomes really useful.
• It's user-mode only, meaning no flash modification, no piracy, no advanced custom themes, no plugins - none of that. I wouldn't expect anything else to come from it, unless I get some help.

There's no telling if this exploit will eventually be made public, but at least now we have definite proof that the Go isn't homebrew-proof after all. Kudos to FreePlay for a job well done (also, thanks for telling us about it)!

WHAT WILL SONY DO NOW!!!

PS3 is really the ONLY UNHACKABLE gaming system......they really did well on it, but PSP GO is obviously gonna get hacked soo now!.

I think the ps3 can be hacked, but 25gb+ games arent really convienient.

that was fast ._.

@Jesus kung fu of troll magic

NOAH!

PS3 hasn't been hacked at all actually

but even if it was who'd download 25GB games lmao!

I thought PSPGo was already hacked 2 weeks ago?

They will hack it soon enough.

PS3 is not yet hacked because people hadn't bothered and due to cost and such. It's just not worth it atm.

It's not like every PS3 game is 25GB.....

Look at Burnout Paradise: About 3.5GB or so.

not worth it atm?then tell me,when will it be?

Ummmm... this is far from being hacked and piracy ready. There is still a loooong way to go until that Remember FW 3.7x was cracked in a couple of hours and it almost stopped the homebrew community from trying to make a real CFW because the later part was hellish. And this is an entirely new hardware, so the homebrewers might still get into many halts before if ever they will release a real hacked firmware for the crowd
