Hands-on With the PSP Go
ANkleStrong writes "Sony Corp unveiled on Tuesday a smaller, lighter PlayStation handheld game device called the PSP Go, in a race to catch rival Nintendo in an intensely competitive mobile games arena."
E3 attendees were able to take the new Sony handheld for a test drive, and more pictures and videos are now available. It's set to be released on October 1st, and will retail for $249. A new Resident Evil game is being designed specifically for the updated hardware, and Metal Gear Peace Walker is coming as well.
News flash: the average age of a gamer these days is 30.
I run: Windows, OS X, Linux, FreeBSD. Just because you have a hammer, doesn't mean everything is a nail.
POPS is built into the PSP core firmware/software package by Sony themselves. All modding the PSP does, is allow it to run unsigned code (read: ISOs of PS1 games). The PS1 games you buy from the Sony store are just repackaged ISOs with some information in the header/encryption. You're just using the hardware/software in a way that Sony doesn't like. I've never done it with a phone, but from what I've read, jailbreaking many phones is done to accomplish the same thing (running unsigned code). You paid for the hardware, you should be able to use it however you like.
