    With a name like CyberLord Seven, I guess we can't really expect you to be all that intelligent, can we?

    A game not running on PSP v1.5 that does run on PSP v2.8 is not a case of backwards compatibility; backwards compatibility means a specific generation of hardware (call it A) running software for a previous generation (call it A - 1). There is no previous generation of PSP, so you fail.

    The game WILL run on your PSP; you just need to update its firmware first. The firmware is a free download, so they're not really anything bad by you.

    If you don't like the way Sony is treating PSP owners, sell your PSP. I sold mine and got a DS, and couldn't be any happier. Are there really any releases for PSP that are good anyway? They're usually just ports of mediocre PS2 games.
